Bored of the way you look. Get a hair cut and colored.
IF you are a part of the 90s contemporary gang of girls then chances are that this is one advice thats on your lips 24/7. And it ought to be, we say. After all, its the one sure shot formula that has worked wonders for many.
Whether it is about hiding those irksome gray strands, adding volume, boosting shine. Or, adding spice to your life by making you get out of the rut and moving. That too in a matter of few hours.
But as great as this tested fashion trend may seem, hair coloring does have an off-side too. One that is far more dreadful than the appeal. And while the most advised way out for a maze of hued mane is of course getting the hair dyed from a professional. Style experts believe that a know how of the very nature of hair color could garner one the best of result too. One thats close to your imagination.
Presenting below are a few tricks that can make you a well knower in mane color, if not an expert. But help they definitely will.
AIM: To make it last
TRICK: Now thats a tough one say professionals of LOreal.
The reason, the shade would last only till the hair grows and falls out. But to keep it looking good till the last phase here are a few suggestion. To begin with, avoid shampooing for a day pre and post the dyeing to allow the dye to bond well with the hair. Second, use shampoo and conditioners that are formulated especially for color treated tresses. Look for one with less detergent, UV filters and silicones to help prevent dullness by sealing hair cuticles and thereby maintain the brilliant bottled look. Last but not the least, limit washing to three times a week.
Every day washing will make color fade faster. But just in case you have an oily mane then sprinkle talcum powder and blow dry to give the hair the bouncy look between washing.
AIM To replicate color on the cover
TRICK: Amend the goal. The reason, its practically impossible to replicate the color on the cover because of the different texture of hair. Plus, say hair colorist, a lot of it depends upon the way the color you start with. To find the desired hue, refer to the chart which shows close approximation of the color youll get based on your natural shade. Take a strand test to be sure. For best result, stay within two shades of your natural hair.
AIM: To Get Great Highlights
TRICK: Now thats the most preferred mode and one, say Stylist, where most go wrong. But not anymore since top brands like Garnier and LOreal have come out with easy to use highlighters that allow precise application with great results. But just in case you are doing it yourself, which we are sure you would be tempt to, just make sure to keep the number of strands low, concentrate more on framing the face and apply gently from the root to the tip. Remember, the softer the tone near the face the modern the effect.
