"Hey, I'm Liz Muller from Liz's Hair Design in Hollywood, Florida. In this clip, we're going to discuss a semi-permanent hair color on relaxed hair. You know, the wonderful line of Finesse has come up with a conditioning kind of color that makes the hair wonderful when you're relaxing the hair and you apply this color. The hair will come out shinier and softer. Back in the days when I used to use semi-permanents, I would find that the hair would stay hard and brittle, but nowadays you won't find that because the way the colors are made now and the way they take the time to put these conditioning treatments in the hair, you won't find that. Eclectic line is the line that I'm talking about. They really, a semi-permanent line really, really came up with a wonderful formula to make the hair stronger and nicer; and relaxed hair does very well with semi-permanent. You know, sometimes they can't take permanent hair color because the hair already has the relaxer and it's too much on the hair. So, the semi-permanent hair color can be done the same day and it can leave the conditioning feeling on the hair, and that's why you would use the semi-permanents on relaxed hair. This has been Liz Muller."
