Can I convert permanent dye to semi or Demi? (color, brown, light)

[Yattycathy]

I was looking for a nice mocha color and found the new wella color tango permanent.

What I usually do is an all over color in permanent and then do a cap with a different color in semi or Demi so it will fade by the time I need to do all over color again.

The mocha will be the lowlights but it's only in permanent.

Any suggestions? I don't want to have it look like a giant mess of crazy with all the permanent shades a few months from now after I have done refreshers a couple of times.

What if I mix with 10 volume?

Do you get what I'm trying to do? Or do you have any other ideas? Thanks! Happy Friday!

I don't care if they call it semi, demi or permanent it is ALL permanent. I have demi in my hair, dark brown, that would not even bleach out and now my hair is ruined. So no, you can't.

Wow, I don't have that problem. Demi and Semi fades and after 4 weeks its gone. (Except for the ends which just go to a flat color). My hair is probably more porus than yours.
