And although it’s YOUR hair, you may not know all of he ins and outs of dying your hair. Remember that time you tried to convince your expert hair colorist to dye your hair three shades in one day?
In an effort to bring peace and harmony to your scalp and hair, we’re sharing important aspects of the hair dyeing process. So, continue reading to find out how to describe the color of your dreams. Also, why it’s important to have a team of hair related experts who can get the word out about your hair services.
Best Color Results Take Time
The number one thing that Cecelia Johnson wants clients to know about is how long the hair dyeing process takes. For instance, providing a photo of someone whose a natural brunette, but is now blonde. If you’re expecting to get the same results within two hours, that’s unrealistic. In other words, you can’t just go from dark brown hair to light blonde within a few hours. Thus, having realistic expectations is a must so that no one is disappointed.
It’s also important to provide as many photos as possible. Because the better you can show what you want, the easier it is for the expert hair colorist to understand. And Cecelia also know exactly what to deliver.
Also, don’t just tell your colorist that you want ‘caramel highlights’, for instance. Instead, do your research and find an example of your ideal hue. This way, both you and your colorist are looking at the same color and can talk specifics.
Cecelia’s passion for client empowerment is very welcoming. And it’s exciting to have like-minded people who care about the health of my scalp and hair. – Joslyn (client)
Dying Your Hair Requires Understanding How Products Affect Your Scalp
There’s often lots of different conversations going on in a hair salon. As a client, it’s easy to pickup on some of the terms you hear stylists and colorists use. But do you know what these terms mean and how the affects of what they are say affects your scalp and Hair? For these reasons, you should use terms that you understand, and not salon lingo that you’ve heard. For instance, descriptions like ‘soft lifts’ and ‘easy lights’ are buzz words, therefore open to interpretation. Avoiding such lingo ensures there’s no miscommunication between you and your colorist when she’s dying your hair.
Also, most salons have their own jargon and techniques. So if you think your hair is brassy, just say it’s reddish-gold, or too dark, or too light.
Consultations are Required
Consultations are a requirement, rather than voluntary when it comes to dramatic hair color changes. Even an expert hair colorist will want to touch your hair to ensure what you want is doable.
In essence, anyone with hair that is in good condition can get a hair color treatment. However, previously colored hair is a little trickier. If your hair is in bad condition; dull, dry, etc., these issues need to be resolved before color treating. Otherwise, you’re just adding additional stress to already damaged hair.
Of course, dealing with good or bad hair conditions don’t apply to coloring hair pieces like wigs and hair extensions. At least, not for a new wig that you have just purchased and we’re coloring it for the first time.
