Hair | Working with natural tone and texture
Monday, December 7th, 2009
Different hair cuts flatter different face shapes. If you are interested in rocking a hue other than your natural hair tone for a change, or would just like to brighten up your face, there are hair colours/ coloring techniques that work best depending on a person’s skin tone and hair texture.
If your hair stylist is anything worth a damn s/he should be able to give you a lesson on this. S/he should also be skilled enough to let you know that you are dead wrong for bringing in a pic of the waif-like celebrity socialite to the salon with you, when you are the unofficial president of the couch potato club. No judgements, but a spade is a spade. If you find difficulty taking care of yourself, chances are that you wouldn’t find the time to keep up with high maintenance hair.
Unless you are a rock star, moving your natural hair colour more than 2 shades away from it’s natural hue, lighter or darker, is generally not a good idea.
Although the look may work with your dolled up night attire, it probably wouldn’t work for your everyday one.
Also, take a good look at the maintenance of that colour when moving more than 2 shades away from your natural hair colour. You’d have to be at the salon every 4 weeks to reasonably manage visibly lighter or darker roots, and healthy practice suggests that hair should not be chemically processed before 6-8 week intervals.
Do the math and you’d realize that your hair would be under extreme stress. Consider the damage that is done to natural hair that is stripped of it’s colour as well as otherwise processed – permed/ relaxed/ texturized and/or would require daily heat styling.
If you would like to go more than 2 shades for a ‘change’, instead try clip in hair pieces, wigs or lace fronts. If you think the idea of a blonde lace front is crazy wack, that’s exactly what others think when you choose to take your good healthy dark tresses and bleach them blonde.
Be the best you everyday. Find the hair and hair care regime that works for you.
