Website design By BotEap.comMost of the women I talk to have good hair color days and critical hair color days.

Website design By BotEap.comCritical days can be easily corrected with these tips. I have found that most women benefit from these tips, whether they are doing their hair at the kitchen sink or in the living room.

Website design By BotEap.comWhen you need to cut costs, some of you will consider pharmacy products for “at home” use instead of the salon. Many times you genuinely believe that this is the least expensive way to dye your hair, but you end up finding it much more expensive if you mess it up. When you don’t get the right shade…or the ends are darker than you wanted, you’ll need to call the salon to get them fixed. Yes! The box is normally around $12.95, however you might mess it up!

Website design By BotEap.comYou’ll know what I’m saying if you’ve ever tried cutting your hair at home. You may even have sad memories of watching the big wound you made grow. With bad haircuts you can change sides, or hairstyles, until they grow out. But when a bad hair color appears, much more vivid than you wanted, it demands that you fix it.

Website design By BotEap.comFirst, take some time to relax and just take care of yourself. Second, if you’re going to the hair salon, book your appointment early in the day or late in the afternoon (before and after the crowd). You won’t have to wait because the professional won’t be late, which could happen in a busy salon.

Website design By BotEap.comMoney:

Website design By BotEap.comConsider the total cost of the color service before scheduling. Explore the exact service you want. At first, choose a simple process that fits your budget and lifestyle. This can always change when your available budget changes. If you choose to go “at home,” be sure to follow the instructions to the letter and don’t change your hair color more than 1-2 shades the first time. Also, save the box top and remember your shade for next time.

Website design By BotEap.comWhen you know what you want, you’ll save time and money. If you’ve never colored your hair before, it will generally cost you much less if you just want to add an “all over” shine. It will cost you a lot more if you want to go from dark brown to light blonde (see a professional for this). Highlights and lowlights will also cost a lot more than your average process color. Corrective…bring a big check. Your free consultation will take the guesswork out of the processes required for all hair color services.

You get all this valuable information for free. This could save you a lot of money and a lot of heartache.

Website design By BotEap.comThe good and the bad of that. If you were born with beautiful, healthy hair, it will typically maintain its shine and health throughout your hair coloring services. But, if you have dry or ultra-thin hair to begin with, you could have ongoing dryness after hair color. If your hair is dry after coloring, try these simple steps before coloring your own hair or getting a salon service.

• Condition each week with a rich treatment or conditioner. If you think it will make your “fine hair” limp, rinse it with lukewarm water. Also, choose the treatment that is not greasy.
• Before coloring your hair, use a treatment, rinse and dry. You can do it yourself or ask the colorist to do it. This will help retain moisture in the hair shaft and protect it from color chemicals.

Website design By BotEap.comAfter your hair color service, use a “leave-in” conditioner. This will help retain moisture until the next wash. Almost all professional companies that sell hairdressing, or beauty products, sell these products.
