Changing your hair color can be the easiest & quickest way to change your appearance. But this process can be more complicated than we think. A number of things need to be taken into consideration when choosing a color. The RIGHT color can really enhance your look, the WRONG color can make you look washed out or sick. Going from very dark back to very light can take time and isn’t something that can be changed with one single color.

Hair stylists or hairdressers are the best to consult when it comes to colors. They can help you work towards the look you want, and in the best timeframe.

Here are some quick tips though:

• Collect pictures of the colors and styles you like to show to your stylist. They can then easily advise you on the next best move. Use Pinterest or Google images to collect and save these pictures for easy access.

• Drastic color changes can take some time to bring into effect, so enjoy the process and know that it might not happen overnight but it will happen!

• If you want to try something new without the commitment, just ask your stylist for a semi-permanent that will wash out over time. If you liked it, you can go permanent next time, if not, you can change without too much drama.

• To extend the life of your color, use shampoos and conditioners for color treated hair. Highlighted and bleached blondes are some of the most fragile colors and need lots of extra care.

• After getting a new color, try not to wash your hair for 48 hours. This helps protect your investment.

• Choose a color that will suit you, not one that will suit your friends. So many factors come into play when choosing a color including skin tone, eye color, and hair cut. Be uniquely you!

• If you are choosing a new hair color for a special occaision, dont color the day before. Color well in advance in case its not exactly the color you are after. You can then make changes in the lead up.

A Hair Style really contributes to how you look and feel, and its important to take the choosing of color seriously. Afterall we want you looking sexy, savvy and sweet!
