The most common complaint I hear from new clients is an unwanted yellow or orange tone. There are several reasons for this, the number 1 being an overuse of golden tones. These can come from low-lights or hi-lift blondes which when used on natural hair below a certain depth or with an already naturally golden tone will produce a yellow appearance. If you're looking for a clean blonde the way to solve this is to combine ash low-lights with your brighter blondes. Many people can be put off by the mention of using ash tones, fearing that this may give a dull or greyish appearance. However, when used correctly ash will simply neutralise the existing yellow or orange tones leaving you with a clean and striking blonde. The tones in your natural hair are very important when it comes to choosing a low-light to accompany your blonde and far too often the same 3 colours are used regardless, which in many cases leads to that dreaded yellow tone. This is where in-depth consultation and the knowledge of a colourist will give you a better result.

 

Tinting

With tinting it's all about working in tandem with your natural skin tone and percentage of grey. With a higher percentage of grey, vibrant colours should be avoided as they will fade more quickly, exaggerate your regrowth and often not give full coverage. Choosing the depth of colour is important too in that you won't usually want to go any more than a shade darker than your natural colour as this can make you look washed out and once again exaggerate your regrowth.

Fashion colour

Fashion colour typically involves placing slices or blocks of colour to hi light certain aspects of a cut. These can range from loudly vibrant to a subtle glow with the idea of giving you an individual look . Layered or choppy cuts can benefit hugely from carefully placed sections of colour with curly hair in particular gaining dimension and depth . One advantage of this approach is low maintenance . With colour placement usually sitting underneath the bulk of your hair you don't need to be concerned with tending to a regrowth every 6 weeks . But the main advantage really is getting a tailored look to suit your own style .

Colour correction

Colour correction will usually involve going from blonde to a darker colour or vice versa . In the case of swapping your blonde for a darker shade there are numerous factors to consider . The condition of your hair will be the main one that determines the outcome . If your hair is porous or damaged from over highlighting or straightening , a darker shade will fade very quickly leaving you with a washed out looking tone . If you are considering such a change and feel your hair is a little weak it will need to be strengthened 1st to achieve the best results . The Kerastase Resistance Range is ideal for the job . For more information head to the products section . The most important factor in darkening your hair is replacing the pigment which is lost when highlighting .

New Hair Colour Ideas

 

When looking for new colour ideas be prepared to widen your search. The latest movies will often have interesting and fresh takes on both style and colour. Coverage of fashion shows can often be found on YouTube . Central St Martins college of fashion and design is one search that will always yield new ideas . To stay ahead of the curve remember that like recurring fashions, hairstyles and colours are recycled

A classic example is the recurrence of the bob , a la Jennifer Aniston , or loud and vibrant colours which are then slightly altered to be made more modern . Recent years have seen a trend towards more natural and subtle colours but sooner

 

Hair Colour Choice

 

In much the same way that a pair of glasses should suit the shape of your face or the colour of clothing should suit your complexion , when it comes to your hair , choosing the right shade to compliment your skin tone will immediately make you look more healthy and vice versa for the wrong shade. For example if you have a pinkish skin tone and are looking for something warm , red should be avoided.

A mahogany tone would be softer and more complimentary . When it comes to fashion colour , choosing a technique to match your cut and using colour placement to complement the shape of your face are the keys to creating a tailored look.

 

Hair Colour maintenance

 

To get the best from your colour the right shampoo and conditioner is a must and Loreals Kerastase range cover s every need. For hair coloured blonde or regularly straightened (ghd) the Resistance range helps to strengthen and replace the moisture lost during these processes. For darker shades, particularly reds and coppers Bain Mirroir helps to prevent fade and maintains vibrancy.

If you're lucky enough to take sun holidays the Soleil Range will protect and condition your hair and colour against the elements . If you swim frequently this will also be of benefit. Lighter blondes may often find their colour taking on a yellow or greenish tinge . This is most likely caused by a build up of lime or zinc in the water supply . Bain Exfoliant which is normally recommended to treat dry scalp will prevent this build up and should be used once a week.
