Hair Color from the inside out:

This tip is especially for brunettes who are looking to lighten up their locks without having the maintenance. 

Have your hair colorist add some foils just below the round of the head. To find the round of your head place your hands on the sides of your head above your ears and feel the curve as you move towards the top … you will sound like an expert when you tell your colorist that you want foils placed below the round of the head.. they will be impressed !  

How to Summer Ponytail

Sexy Summer Ponytail

1.      Take a horseshoe shape section on the top of the head and secure with a clip.

2.      Put a high tight ponytail at the top center back of the head.

3.      Take top section and backcomb for height. Brush back lightly and wrap ends around ponytail covering the band. Secure with a bobby pin or hairpin.

4. To dress up your ponytail add an embellishment like a decorative hairpin, flower or a headband.

Four Tips to extend the life of your color:

1. CARE:

Always use an at home regimen that is specifically tailored for color treated hair. Vitamin E is an excellent anti-oxidant and helps to protect your color from fading.

2. PREPARE:

Ask your colorist if there is a treatment you can do at home before your next color appointment. I would recommend a protein treatment ~ Color binds to protein ~ keeping your hair healthy and strong and extending the life of your color.

3. MAINTAIN BALANCE:

Only color the hair that needs to be colored. Hair can get dried out, weakened and damaged when it is overworked with color and bleach. Opt out of highlights every visit and discuss options with your colorist to Alternate between Highlights and lowlights.

4. PROTECT: Be aware of elements that can damage your hair and fade your color. Keep in mind that healthy hair will always respond to hair color better. Choose products that protect from the sun, mineral deposits and heat tools. A clarifying shampoo once a month will help remove mineral and product build up from your hair.
