TO COLOR OR NOT TO COLOR
Having your hairstyle enhanced with color for gray coverage or just to enhance or brighten your natural hair color can be a beautiful change to your appearance and a lift to your spirit.
However, there are so many factors to consider when having your hair colored.
First, it is highly recommended that you have your color professionally done. It is also recommended that you have a color Consultation with a colorist or a stylist that knows color well.
Your colorist or stylist should be able to discuss with you different shades of color for your complexion, color placement technique according to your hairstyle.
They should also examine the health of your hair before deciding on what type of color process would be suitable for your hair type, lifestyle and maintenance regimen.
Color treated hair requires an extra effort on your part to keep your hair healthy and your color vibrant. Regular scheduled salon visits are highly recommended after your initial color service.
