Getting highlights or a new hair color is amongst the
popular hair treatments today. Your life will surely be a lot easier when you
know which hair color suits you. This will not only improve your look; it will
also give you an idea of what you will ask for from the salon in the future.
If you are in the process of changing your hair color or
getting highlights, here are some tips that you might find useful.
1. Home versus Salon Hair color and Highlights.
Over-the-counter hair coloring kits are easily available in the market. Not,
however, that it is only for those who are comfortable in dying their hair on
their own. Don’t experiment if you’ve never done it successfully. There is a
real science to mixing colors to get a certain shade. A strand test or a head
allergy test should be the first step before applying hair color or highlights.
Hair salons are equipped with the right tools such as foils, irons, blow
dryers, heaters, etc. which makes applying hair color and highlights easier for
them.
2. Choose a single lighter shade to maintain
your natural look. Highlights are only accents to your hair in order to
bring out curls or layers as well as emphasize certain features of your face.
The most common tool used in highlights treatment is the foil. Foils keep the
chemicals in and intact with the hair for best results. However, when the hair
is exposed to the chemical for a long period, the hair strands becomes dry and
frizzy. It is best to maintain the natural shade of your hair so as to maintain
a cohesive look.
3. Try multi-shading. Applying two or more
shades is a good idea when you are up to special event. There are temporary
hair color products that can be washed off after use. These preparations can be
multi-purpose as they are used as highlights too. But if you want permanent hair
color and highlights, let your favorite salon take care of it to ensure safe
and accurate results.
Hair color and highlights can be tricky when done at on
yourself. Going to a professional hair salon is still more economical than
having to experiment on your hair and then going to the salon to have a re-do
of your mistake. Plus, it’s better to have some things done for you so you can
relax and enjoy your day, right?
