All about hair coloring


Temporary hair color is basically a colorful gel or cream that coats your hair (sometimes even sprays). It lasts a couple of shampoos at best. Use this type for fun! Get wild and make your hair super red, pink, blue,or even orange!







Semi Permanent Dyes use ingredients known as “direct dyes.” They stain the hair and take several shampoos to wash out (some last up to 6 weeks). They are a great way to let you experiment with a touch of color without long-term commitment.









Permanent hair color (oxidative) is the most serious type of color. It typically involves bleaching your hair to remove the natural color, then adds in color molecules to lock inside the hair shaft. It should last until your roots grow out but some fading from washing will occur. Although the color can last months and look great, the chemical process is damaging to the hair.

Finding the best hair color for your skin tone

Apologies for the lack of posts... work has been busy! I did manage to find an interesting tip on selecting hair color that'll make you look great!





Knowing your skin tone is very important in helping you choose the best hair color to make you sizzle. The first thing you should determine is whether your skin tone is warm or cool.

One way to tell is to check the color of our veins. If they appear more blue then the have cool tones, if green then you have warm tones.

Another way to determine your tone is to drape 2 scarves next to your face - a blue and an orange one. Whichever ones looks best determines your tone(blue means you're cool, orange means you're warm)
