For many women, especially women, in the spring and autumn they have to think about what else should be done with their hair. On the one hand perhaps the model, but even more so the color. The well-known brands for professional hair products also come with different colors and color nuances every season, so we have to see what happens again.
Changing color
Quite a few women also do changing colors for the sake of changing. The current color is too boring or you are just tired of it, it’s all possible. But if you want to change color, it is good to realize that there is more to it than just a different color.
Go through a number of steps:
- Is it not a whim (you will “use” this color for a while during normal application).
- Does the color match the skin of your face (get advice if necessary).
- Please note that with certain colors you will have a “bald” face. Accept or use more makeup.
- Is the color so different that roots need to be touched up or do you accept the roots (also consider the closet aspect).
- It is easy to return to the original color or whatever color (realize the consequences).
- What does (continuous) dyeing do to the quality of the hair?
- Should other products be used (and also consider the costs).
- Are you going to dye yourself or do you have the hairdresser do it (think about being able to dye yourself and the costs).
The colours
In general, the spring and summer colors are more cheerful with more blonde. Blonde shades in the form of highlights or a palette of multiple shades of blonde mixed together. Possibly with a lowlight incorporated here and there. The autumn and winter months are warmer in colour. Think of the natural brown tones, possibly in combination with some highlights in warm copper blonde to real red colors. Jennifer Lopez has been an example of the dark color with highlights in different colors for years.
Outstanding colours
For autumn, the hard red shades, which move towards purple (eggplant), are the more striking colours. The eggplant is also combined with deep black. You also see these combinations more often with the tighter, hard-shaped (in lines) hairstyles. These hard colors may not suit everyone and certainly not in combination with a hard-shaped hairstyle, but they are certainly an eye-catcher.
Natural
A natural look is also possible with a painted cut. More natural colors will then be used that emphasize your own hair color more. This is also sometimes used for hair that is otherwise healthy, but which has a pale color. This can develop over the years and then a similar shade that looks a little fresher is recommended.
Care for colored hair
The care of colored hair is better if the products are coordinated. Products specifically for colored hair. These range from €5 to €50 for a shampoo. The hairdressers are more likely to have the more expensive products, but that is not always necessarily better. However, if you have a combined problem, for example weakened hair, the hairdresser has combined products. Drugstores usually do not have these types of products (it must be simple on the shelf).
The hairdresser will know quickly enough what problem you may have with your hair and then you can always discuss which products are recommended.
Extras
Most women use a conditioner in addition to a shampoo. If it is not because it is better for your hair (it closes the scales again), then it is because it makes it easier to comb your hair and you do not have tangles.
But that doesn’t change the fact that something extra is not a bad thing for your hair. Undyed hair could also use a boost every now and then. A boost can be a mask that you put in your hair once a week or every two weeks. You usually have to let this work in for a while and it has the same effect as a facial mask does for your face. It just does something extra. The masks are also tailored to the products you use (both in the drugstore and at the hairdresser).
To let grow
And even if you don’t get a haircut with your dyed haircut, it is still good to have the ends of your hair trimmed periodically. Even if you do nothing with your hair, the ends of your hair will still split at some point. If you don’t get ahead of this, you will never get the long hair you want or it will become a straw-like mane of hair.
Just discuss this with the hairdresser and he or she will respect that you only want to remove the essentials.
As long as your hair’s nice
This is not said for nothing. For many people, especially women, hair determines their appearance and is therefore relatively important. That does not automatically mean that you have to spend capital on it every month. Good hair care does not have to be expensive, but be aware of it.
