We fashion divas can create different looks by merely experimenting with the clothes, shoes and accessories we have in our wardrobe. However, one way to create a totally new look is to get a new hairstyle and new hair color.
Now, before you head off to your favorite posh salon, know which hair color and what type of dye would work best for your tresses. Cool tones such as ash and dark blonde look best on Mestizas while warm tones (deep red, violet, brown, mahogany, and copper) compliment Morenas. Those whose skin tone ranges from fair to medium could opt for pretty much any shade they want.
As for the hair dye, you have the option to use demi-permanent, permanent, or ammonia-free permanent ones. Demi-permanent dyes contain less damaging chemicals but are not best for lightening hair. It works great though for darkening hair. It also washes off in about 30 washes which makes it ideal for those who regularly change their hair color. If you want to opt for permanent hair colour, I suggest you get one that is ammonia-free such as the INOA Haircolor by L’Oreal Professionel. It uses gentler ingredients that doesn’t irritate sensitive scalps.
Oh, and don’t forget to keep a history of all the chemical processes your tresses have been through for future hair treatments. It’s imperative that you give the colorist your hair’s history to prevent any damage on your crowning glory.
