Characteristics of permanent hair color products include the following except that they:

  1. Can lighten hair

  2. Cover grey hair

  3. Do not need retouch applications

  4. Contain developer

The correct answer is: Do not need retouch applications

Permanent hair color products are formulated to create a lasting color change in the hair. This color change is not temporary, so they will not wash out. This makes them a popular choice for covering gray hair, giving you an overall new hair color. Permanent hair color products typically contain a developer, which helps to activate and penetrate the hair cuticle for a lasting color change. However, these products are not able to lighten hair because they do not contain any bleaching agents. This means they are not suitable for achieving significantly lighter shades or highlights. Additionally, permanent hair color products will eventually grow out and require retouch applications to maintain the desired color. Therefore, Option C is incorrect as it states that these products do not require retouch applications.
