ARE YOU BORED OF YOUR HAIR COLOUR?

Do you want to revamp your look? If yes, then the easiest way to change your look would be to opt for hair colouring.

A new hair colouring can add a new dimension to your personality, making you look more confident and impressive. However, with the need to be in sync with the competition around, people are left with little or  no time to flock to the salon. Nonetheless, when time or money doesn’t allow you the pampering of salon colour, you’ll find that at home hair colouring preparations are both affordable and easy to use.

Here are some handy tips that will make your hair look healthier and glow with the desired colour and give you salon-like results, along with quick and easy solutions to common problems related with Hair Colouring Tips.

.           Shampoo your hair properly and then condition them. Thereafter, wait for two days, to give the natural oils in your scalp time to resurface. This is an essential step to protect the scalp from chemical reactions and also would help your hair colour to set better, giving you uniformed results overall.

.           On the day of hair colour, you need to first arrange the toolkit for the hair colouring purpose. Put on an old t-shirt and collect some older towels and washcloths. Get some hair clips for sectioning your hair, a handy timer and a hand mirror, which will enable you to view the back of your head.

.           Section your hair so that you can handle your hair better, during the colouring process.

.           Before starting, make sure you read the instructions at least two times. Each of the colouring brands follows a definite style or process, so if you don’t want to do a blunder, ensure that you read the instruction. Also, do not forget the strand test.

.           Put on the gloves and start the colouring process. If you are touching up the roots, be sure that this is the area that you target. You shouldn’t be applying the colour to the entire head as in the first application.

.           For those of you, who are colouring for the first time, start at the crown or at the nape of the neck. This is because it is here that the natural hair colour is the darkest.

.           For the ends, apply hair colour that is one level darker, without adding the developer. The colour at the end of the hair tends to fade faster than the rest, because the ends are porous and does not hold colour.

.           Once you have applied the colour, use timer to keep track of the time. Often while reading a magazine, we completely forget to keep track of the time. So, a timer would be beneficial in this case.

.           After the specific time is over, rinse your hair thoroughly. Rinse until the water runs clear.

.           Make sure to condition your hair properly. After the colouring process, hair becomes very vulnerable to damage.

PRECAUSIONS

.           Always colour your hair, when they are fully dry because colour of damp and wet hair may get diluted later.

.           If your current hair colour is darker than the next shade chosen, use a colour remover to completely loose the old tint. However, they are effective on only artificial colours and not natural hair colour.

.           For gray hair, use a shade darker than the shade of colour used on the rest of the hair.

.           After colouring your hair, do not perm or straightened for several weeks.

.           If you go out in the sun or swim regularly, your hair colour may wear off quickly. To avoid this, condition your hair regularly to negate the effects of summer heat and water.

.           If light-reddish blonde tones fade to orange colour, you can use a little red-gold accent to give fashionable highlights.
