Patrons who wish to add only a slight color to grey hair should receive a/an:

  1. Progressive hair dye

  2. Temporary color rinse

  3. Aniline derivative tint

  4. Semi-permanent tint

The correct answer is: Temporary color rinse

A temporary color rinse is the best option for patrons who want to only add a slight color to their grey hair. This is because a temporary color rinse coats the hair and washes out after a few shampoos, making the color change subtle and gradual. Progressive hair dye (option A) may be too strong and result in a noticeable change in hair color. Aniline derivative tints (option C) are permanent dyes and will cause a dramatic change in color. Semi-permanent tints (option D) will also produce a more noticeable color change compared to a temporary color rinse.
