Hair Colouring
Thinking about changing hair colour? It’s not as easy as you may think. There are a lot of things to think about before choosing a new colour.
A
change of hair colour can give you an incredible mood boost. Colour definitely has transforming effects and it could be said that in many ways in has taken over from cut in fashions for hair. Before choosing a new hair colour it is important to look carefully at your skin tone. You do not want your hair to wash you out, but a colour that complements your natural colouring and will give you a healthy glow. Having a consultation with one of the hair stylists in the salon, will help you choose the right colour, and they can give you the best advice. Don’t worry about not getting the colour you want, as at S&H we will do our best to find a tone that you will love and something that will suit you as well. The condition of your hair also plays an important part in achieving and maintaining your perfect hair colour. If you hair is in a bad condition, such as having split ends, very dry or over processed with colours, then the colour may not take well on the hair. If you have a hair colour on your hair as well, whether it is permanent or
semi-permanent, then it can and will affect any other colour you put on your hair. However a consultation with your stylist should give you the best advice and whether you should go ahead with the hair colouring. Also ensure the practicality of the hair colour is suitable for you, as you wont want something that is too high maintenance.You need to think about: · How often you will have to get the roots re-coloured · Whether you are going a lot lighter/darker than your natural colour · Whether you want all over colour or high/low lights The best way to add texture to your hair is to have the hair highlighted in different shades, as it gives the appearance of movement in the hair and makes layers stand out more. However, if you want a sleek, glossy look then it’s best to stick to a block colour instead of highlights.
Covering grey hair
These represent the different ways of covering grey hair · High/low lights – this technique usually works the best on grey hairs, as it blends them in instead of covering them all up. Having a few different shades finely weaved throughout your hair will also create minimum regrowth. · All over colour – good thing about this technique is that all the grey gets covered. The only downside is that roots can be obvious when hair grows back through. · Colour applied only to grey hairs – You could have a colour which tones the grey hairs to look like highlights by using honey or caramel tones.
