Types of Hair Dye by OPAWZ
There are different kinds of dog hair dyes available on the market, each yielding a different result and in some cases requiring a different application process. At OPAWZ we offer two main types of dye, permanent and semi-permanent.
Permanent Dye
Featuring bright, fashionable and unique colors, our permanent dye is the best if you're looking for a long-lasting effect. Let your pets stand out from the rest! Recommended for creative grooming competitions and those with a bit more experience.
- Non-toxic and gentle on pet's coat
- Lasts for more than 20 washes
- Colors can be mixed together
- Great for use on dogs and horses
Semi-Permanent Dye
Ideal if you're looking to spruce up your pet's style without the long-term commitment of a permanent dye, our semi-permanent dye gradually washes away (around 8 washes) and is suitable for groomers of all skill levels.
How To Use Our Dog Hair Dye
The application process for both of our hair dyes is mostly the same. For best results you will want to shampoo and towel dry first. Then start applying the dye evenly to the desired areas.
- Semi-permanent dye – after application cover the area in plastic wrap or foil, wait 20 minutes, rinse clear and dry.
- Permanent dye – wait for 10-20 minutes, rinse clear and dry.
General Points To Remember
- If this is the first time using OPAWZ pet dye, do a 48 hour test on a small patch before applying.
- Wear a pair of rubber gloves.
Looking for more temporary color results?
OPAWZ also offers a line of temporary color products ranging from hair chalks to blow pens to paint pens to glitter gels. These products generally last from 1-3 washes and are great for quick colorful changes to pets without the long-term commitment.
