In the XXI century almost every woman colors her hair. If you turn on the television you see a lot of hair color commercials. You have a lot of choice. All you need to do is, to choose the right brand for you.
It’s pretty hard to choose a hair color brand and type, which:
-has beautiful hair colors
-doesn't ruin your hair
-does not fade out
-protects you hair, and leave it shiny
-the shade of the color will be exactly how you wanted
My first advice would be: G
o to a hairstylist! He/she will give you advises, but unfortunately not every hairstylist knows everything about the color theory.
Here are some advice's and useful information:
1.
Professional products are better, than the commercial ones:
Well…you can’t say that EVERY professional brand it’s better, but most of them it is. Let’s say this way: a high quality professional hair color it’s better than an expensive commercial one! Why??
-Because professional hair colors have more extended color charts , which is very important because of the final results of your hair color
-if you use commercial hair color brand, it’s more possible, that you won’t get the wanted hair dye
-the commercial brands manipulate us with marketing: you don’t pay the precious ingredients, you pay for their marketing image, meanwhile the professional brand don’t make commercials, so you pay for the quality.
2. If you choose hair color from commercial brand, don’t choose according to the picture on the box!
In this case, choose the color from the color chart. Before you choose it, it’s advised to read the opinions about the brand in forums. There are some brands, where it’s possible, that the dye will be darker than in the color chart.
3. We don’t always start the coloring from the roots
If this is your firs hair coloring process, don’t start and do not let you hairdresser to start from the roots! The 1cm hair aka the roots is warmer than the other part of the hair. And if you start your first coloring there it is possible to come out more intense/lighter/darker at the roots.
4.Don’t bleach your hair at home
This process requires professional knowledge. If you don’t proceed correctly it can turn out pretty ugly.
5. Be careful with the blond shades!
If you have the possibility, go to a hairstylist, because the blond is the most difficult color! But if you color your hair home, be careful. If you buy ash shade, to a very light hair, you can have green highlights. Which is peaty ugly :-S...
7.Don’t trust the ammonia free permanent hair colors
I wouldn't trust them. Because if a permanent hair color doesn't contain ammonia, it contains something else, which makes it permanent, and that chemical stuff, can be more unhealthy and dangerous. I've read a lot of thing about L'Oreal INOA, and it turned out that it’s more unhealthy than others with ammonia. Ammonia evaporates from your hair, but the substance which replaces it, don’t.
8. If you color your hair for the first time, do an allergic test.
9. The most difficult color is the intense red!
I know, because I had once. It fades out very easy, and when it does, looks really ugly. Wear intense red only if you don’t feel sorry for your long hair.
I hope I gave you some useful advises. My number one hair color brand is Paul Mitchell. It’s a professional brand, not a cheap one, but it’s friendly with your hair, and it contains only 2,9% ammonia.
