What are the side effects of concealers?

None are known for creams, waxes and fibres. With shampoos, coloured mousses and setting lotions, if the hair has been previously chemically treated, such a s with permanent waves,coloured (semi or permanent) or bleached and the hair has become more porous, then there is high risk that the hair will absorb the colour and therefore not easily be removed by shampooing.

Once concealers have been applied, then you should avoid over handling of the hair and scalp by running your fingers or combs through your hair, as this may remove some of the camouflage
