Do you know your natural color?

If you’re thinking of dyeing your hair, it’s important to know what your natural color is. That way, you can make an informed decision as to whether or not it’s worth the time and money to dye it. It may be that the look you want would result in damage to your hair if there are too many variations from what is currently on your head.

If this process is something you have been considering (or even dreaming about), then here are some things for you to consider:

• Dyeing your hair is a personal choice—if someone else tells me I should dye my hair because they like how theirs looks, then I don’t care! But if that person has been pressuring me for years and won’t let up until I finally give in and do something drastic…then that would be really annoying! So just remember—dyeing your own hair should come from within yourself first and foremost :)* No one should pressure anyone else into doing anything they don’t want to do with their body; however, if they do decide they want colored strands of pigmentation sprouting through their scalps (maybe because their current hue doesn’t fit well with current trends or styles), then by all means go ahead with whatever changes suit them best! Just keep in mind that permanently altering any aspect(s) about yourself might lead towards regretting later on down life’s path.”

Do you need to go lighter, darker or the same shade?

Is the color you want lighter or darker? If you want to go lighter, it’s best to bleach your hair first and then dye it. If you want to darken your color, this process is much easier as you don’t need to do anything. If you’re not trying to change the shade of your hair at all, touch ups are essential as they keep your color bright and youthful looking.

What do you want your color to look like?

Before you start selecting your permanent hair color, get an idea of what you want from magazines, friends, and the internet. If you are planning to go to a stylist, bring a few pictures of your inspiration. If you’re going to do it yourself at home, look for pictures of people with your skin tone and features.

See a professional.

Professional hair colorists know how to handle your particular hair type and texture, which will help you achieve the best results. They can also help you select the right product that will work for you, as well as make sure that if there are any problems with your hair afterward (like fading or brassy tones), they can fix it for free. If this sounds like a lot of work for one person to take on, it’s not! Most professional salons offer maintenance packages that include regular appointments with their colorists—allowing them to keep an eye on how your color is holding up over time and make tweaks accordingly.

Go full spectrum.

• Go full spectrum.
• If you’re going to have your hair professionally done, consider going full spectrum. Full spectrum means that the color contains all the colors of the rainbow, including reds and oranges. This is great because it looks natural, shiny and healthy—and a good choice for those who are looking to slightly lighten or darken their hair color without majorly changing it.

Talk to your stylist about low lights and highlights.

If you’re looking to add some dimension and brightness to your hair color, ask your stylist about low lights and highlights.

Lowlights will add depth and dimension by adding darker shades of color throughout your hair. Highlights are lighter shades placed in specific places (typically around the face) to give the appearance of natural sunlight reflecting on different parts of your head. These two techniques can be used together or separately depending on what look you’re going for.

It’s important to note that if you’re planning on getting these services done at a salon, it may take multiple visits. It’s also important to note that they will probably cost more than a simple shampoo-and-style session would cost—but not always! Always check before booking anything at any salon to make sure it won’t break the bank

Get a trim before your appointment.

A trim is an essential part of any color service. A good cut can make your hair look healthier and more voluminous, which will make your color last longer.

Prep your hair in advance.

• Don’t wash your hair or apply conditioner the day of your appointment.
• Avoid getting any product in your hair on the day before.
• Don’t use a hair dryer two days before your appointment, as it will cause frizz and make it harder for the stylist to get smooth results with her tools.
• Try to style your locks in a way that’s easy to replicate, such as by wearing them straight down and parted down the middle, or in an up-do so she can work around them without removing them completely.

Have a maintenence plan.

The most important thing to understand is that maintaining the color of your hair is not just about coloring it. You need to look after it as well, and this includes trimming regularly.

As a general rule of thumb, you should be getting your hair trimmed every three months or so if you want to maintain the color you’ve chosen. This will keep your ends healthy and avoid them becoming damaged and dry – which can make them more likely to break off when they’re being styled or washed.

You should also use products that are good for your hair type – especially if you have fine strands like me! If I’m using something that contains alcohol in it, then my hair takes an eternity to dry! This means I can’t wash my locks every day because they’ll look greasy by lunchtime! It’s much better when there’s no chemical build-up on the surface of each strand; trust me!

Permanent hair color is just that, it is permanent. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

The article above gives you a great idea of what to expect when getting your hair colored for the first time or every two weeks. Of course there are always exceptions like people with grey hair who want to cover up their gray roots with highlights in different colors or people who don’t want their whole head dyed red but instead want to dye one section a different color other than dark brown or black.

There are many options available when choosing your ideal hairstyle from box dye at home, professional salon services such as balayage (painting), ombre (dyeing darker at the bottom), highlights and lowlights etc.. If you have any questions please let us know so we can help answer them!
