Hair Coloring Tips:
Before you begin coloring you hair, always follow some of these simple
steps. Have a good hair wash that should completely cleanse the scalp
and hair of all the pollutants and grime. Avoid the use of
conditioners, as this would only interfere with the chemicals in the
hair colors. People with soft or delicate hair need to wait for at
least a day before coloring the hair.

There are various types of hair colors that you should be aware about
before coloring your hair. The temporary hair color goes off with one
wash. The semi temporary hair color can last for at least 4-6 hair
washes. The semi permanent hair colors generally contain ammonia. The
demi permanent hair colors lasts for about 6 weeks. And as the name
suggests, permanent hair colors last for a long time and would also
require special hair care.

Hair coloring does require you to care for your hair and you would
need to find ways to make your hair color stay longer. In case your
hair color is looking too washed out after few weeks, you can simply
add around 2 spoons of hair color to your regular conditioner. Use
this after you shampoo your hair and leave it on for about 3 to 5
minutes.

Hair coloring obviously involves the use of chemicals on your hair.
Although professionals would always say that there is very little
damage done to the hair, these products have to be used with great
care and consideration. You would know if you have used the wrong
products or harsh chemicals if:
Your hair looks dulls and also falls limply.
Your hair looks very dry and gets extremely brittle, leading to hair loss.

Use a shampoo that is meant for color treated hair. This would help to
retain the color and also keep your hair soft and manageable. Look
through the various brands of conditioners meant for color treated
hair. Such conditioners can be used to balance the moisture levels of
your hair.

Trends in hair coloring may change very quickly before you can even
bat your eyelid. Consult a good stylist when it comes to the products
and hair colors, do not follow the latest trends simply because it
looks good in the magazines.

Hair coloring techniques are also many to name. You need to be aware
what would suit you and consult a profession as well. Highlights,
lowlights, veiling, chunking are some of various types of techniques.
Highlights look great in warm tones whereas twilights give you the
freedom of coloring your hair without being too loud. Here, darker
tones can be added. This process is similar to lowlights. Lowlights
can also be used to create a soft and stylized look. Hair coloring
processes can also differ depending upon your type of hair and what
suits you the best.

Sometimes you may not really be happy with the way your hair color has
turned out to be, in such cases, consult a professional and find out
the methods of hair color removal.

Hair coloring can be loads of fun if you go about it the right way.
Have a great time discovering a new you!
