- Fashion Hair Colors Require a Strong Start
To get a stylish hair color, start with a clean slate. If you have dark brown or brunette hair, a bleach treatment is required.
If you don’t get the appropriate shade of blonde hair, it can have an effect on your overall hue.
Bleach can be quite harmful to your hair if used incorrectly. You don’t want splotches of orange or brassy tones.
Brassy orange is not your friend if you want silver tones or ashy blonde highlights.
If you have auburn hair, you may need to go through several steps to reach the desired hue. Pre-lightened hair looks best with bright, brilliant colors.
Bleach application is best left to professionals. Your hairdresser will get the perfect shade of blonde while causing the least amount of harm to your lovely locks.
2. Equality Requires Time
It may require several lightening sessions to transform dark hair to the ideal shade of blonde. More time in the chair will result from more sessions. When you discuss a fashion hue with your stylist, have this in mind.
If your hair has previously been pre-colored, it can also require more than one procedure. While virgin hair can lighten quite rapidly, pre-existing color treatments can be more difficult to lift.
You and your stylist can talk about how long it will take to reach your desired hair color.
3. More Money, More Appointments
Fashion hair colors will cost your stylist money in terms of time and product; they also require many appointments. They require more dedication than a standard coloring and will require more regular salon visits for maintenance.
How your hair responds to the color and lightening procedure will determine how much color it will cost you. Discuss the amount of sessions and budget with your stylist before venturing into the world of color.
4. Trendy Colors Go Out Fast
Your aspirations of having rainbow hair are achievable, but keep in mind that fashion hues fade quickly. Fashion hair colors are treatments that are semi-permanent and gradually fade over time.
Soft pastel tones can fade from the hair in 1-2 weeks, but bright colors will take 4-8 weeks to fully fade.
With each wash, the majority of the bright hues will gradually disappear from your hair. Your hair can become discolored by bright red and green to the point that it needs to be chopped out.
You’ll need to visit the salon more regularly due to the rapid fading of color.
You need to pick a skilled stylist. A skilled hairdresser will shield your hair from the harm that hair colors can cause.
5. Fashion Colors for Hair Need More Upkeep
Vibrant, unnatural hues or cold pastels can liven up your entire appearance, but they need upkeep to stay vibrant. Compared to typical honey blondes, hair styles like rose gold and burgundy demand more maintenance.
Using a good hair care routine and high-quality aftercare products will help you fight the fading process.
Here are a few other maintenance tips to keep in mind:
Ignore A Few Washes
Too many hair washes will hasten the fading of your hair color. Developing a wash schedule that suits you is a smart idea.
When you decide not to wash your hair that day, pick up some dry shampoo. Your hair will stay fresh till the day of washing.
Apply Cold Water.
Everybody enjoys taking warm, steamy showers. On the other hand, hot water causes your hair’s cuticles to open, letting color go down the drain.
Your hair’s cuticle helps seal with cool water, preserving the pigment in your hair. Use lukewarm water to wash your hair if you are unable to tolerate using cold water. Before drying and styling, you may always give your hair a quick blast of cold water to close the shaft.
Select a Conditioner That Deposits Color
Applying a color-depositing conditioner once a week will extend the life of your gorgeous color. You will apply a tiny bit of pigment to keep your color vibrant in addition to maintaining the softness and health of your hair.
We love Maria Nila Color Refresh. Try adding this to your routine:
After towel-drying hair to a minimum of 70% dryness, apply the appropriate color and leave it to soak for three to ten minutes. To get the best effects, rinse with lukewarm water after soaking.
Maria Nila maintains the vibrancy and nourishment of your color-treated hair in between treatments. Ask your Mill Pond Salon stylist for additional details about the Maria Nila range.
Diminish Your Strands
If you are going to be in the sun for a long time, wear a hat or use a spray-on sunscreen. Like your skin, your hair is harmed by the sun’s harmful UV rays.
The sun not only ages you but also taints your hue. You might visit the salon more frequently in the summer to stay in touch with the sun. The Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil is available at Mill Pond Salon to help protect your hair and preserve your fashionable hair color.
