Hair Coloring Boo-Boos That Keep Happening Again and Again

So here we are three weeks into the New Year, and hair coloring boo-boos keep cropping up.  One of the most memorable thus far has been a woman that came in for a consultation, and had multiple blonde coloring services done in a matter of days because she did not get what she normally experienced.  She had brought with her some formula that she thought was her answer. It was an OMG.  No, I did not carry out any hair coloring services for her because the objectivity is to keep the hair on the head.  Right?  The point being is that you should not "freak out" because it only adds to the drama of it all.  Another woman claimed to be a natural red head that unfortunately over the years has turned gray.  She claimed that the color she received just suddenly turned pink.  After conversing with her, it was learned that she spent too much time in the sun without properly caring after her hair color investment.  Please defer to the Summer, Beach, and Hair Color article to learn more on how to care for your hair color when over exposing it to the sun.

So what does it all mean?  To achieve rich, glossy hues of hair color don't pretend to know more than a professional hair colorist.  Yes, you know your hair, but when it comes to having those locks of blonde, brunette, or red shine their best as well as feel like silk be prepared for some hard honesty.  Over worked hair is never pretty.

Do:

• Get your hair colored blonder, redder, or richer depths of brunette.
• Compliment a sophisticated urban haircut with bold chic hair color.
• Embrace hair color. Meaning wear the dress it displays.
• Strive to flaunt hair coloring that looks natural over emulating what VIPs flash.

Don't:

• Reveal grown out highlights.
• Get a skunk look because it's just a don't.
• Mix rebel hair color with plastic jewelry.
• Get a scary dye job, or have too much going on.
• Wear hair color that glows in the dark.

If you have not developed a personalized look what is holding you back?  Here are some things to ponder.

1. How would you describe your haircut and hair coloring?  Does it flatter your face as well as skin tones?

2. Has your hairstyle evolved since high school?  College?  Your 20's, 30's, 40's?  Are you stuck?

3. When your hair doesn't behave or you cannot get it to do anything cute, do you yourself take scissors to it?  Or, can you figure it out that maybe it's the cut, and time to visit the salon.

4. If asked by a hairstylist about what shampoos, conditioners, and styling products you currently own can you name them?  Better yet do you remember why you purchased them?

5. Does your hair color look flat?  If you are out playing in the sun with your colored hair do thoughts of OMG I forgot my hat ever happen? If not why?

6. How does your current haircut and hair color make you feel:

• Sultry?
• Feminine?
• Confident? Or,
• Tired?

Remember it's the skills of a professional hairstylist that determines everything. Over worked hair can be avoided.
