Top 3 Tips for Perfect Hair Color

EVERYONE NEEDS color When I worked in a salon, many years ago, I would recommend hair color tips to all my clients. Really, that's the truth. I believe that even if you just add the same color or tint that you already have, meaning the color that's naturally on your head, it will give your hair certain brand-new dimension .

The Color scale
THE COLOR SCALE I know I've been talking about color levels, and you may be a little confused. But it's really pretty simple: Black is 1, blonde is 12, and everything else is in between. (Just kidding.) It normally goes like this:

Chossing your color tips

1.Pick Hair Colors Based On Your Skin Tone.
Thinking picking out a hair color that actually works great for your skin tone ? Definitely , here’s number one tip that’s gonna help it become incredibly easier.Right now , I’m sure every one of you already is aware of your skin tone very well to decide whether it drops under the “warm” or even “cold” type which surely is one thing you’ll have to focus on when choosing the perfect hair color

2.First things first: Look at the color on the box! But here's the secret: What you see on the box is not usually what you get. Why? Because this color on the box was put on hair that was previously lightened!!!

Get it? In other words, that color was applied to bleached, dyed hair, tinted hair, whatever you want to call it. (I love that they don't want to call it dyed.) Anyway, it starts with that treatment, and then they apply the color that is on the box.
If, for example, you are looking at a box of color like 8g warm medium blonde, and you have light brown hair, that box will not give you 8g warm blonde! Why? Because that 8g on the box was done on a head of hair that was bleached, not on light brown hair! If you want that 8g warm medium blonde color, then what do you think you need? Right: You have to go lighter,or even higher. That 8g will probably give you just one shade of lift, and maybe not even that.


So in this case, if you are medium brown and want to go to medium blonde or a light blonde, I would first go to your salon and find out from your hairdresser what would be the right color for you. Be honest, if you can't afford him or her every month, then say so. 

3.Your hairdresser would probably counsel you regarding exactly what number to purchase ,and also,without a doubt ,almost all shade has a number linked to it , particularly the types you buy in the superstore or the drug store .For those who have any kind of question concerning coloring your own personal hair.

Obviously, if you are already having your hair colored at a salon, then you don't even need to read this section. But you never know, there might be something here that could save you a few bucks. Basically, though, I'm speaking to those who do their own color at home. Read on for a few more color tips.

East Ways to Dye Hair This Winter

Your perfect Dye hair color? 
If you asked me what dye hair color will work best for you, I'd have to tell you that this is one of those areas that require a one-on-one, face-to-face consultation. 
Choos-ing the perfect color isn't as easy as it looks.

I remember years ago when the whole season/color thing was in fashion. From the color of your skin, eyes, and so on, some well-trained, well-intentioned person would tell you if you were a spring, summer, fall, or winter. Whether there's any truth in this approach is not something that I would dare to go into here. But as I said earlier, I believe corrective dye hair color or a drastic change in color should be done by a pro.

 There are a few other things we can discuss here, though: two products that you'll really love. 

Streaking Kits 

Streaking your hair at Home ,the first product I want to talk about is those streaking kits that you see on the shelves. Those products really do work.

Streaking Kits


The truth is, I did all those streaking commercials for Clairol a few years ago, remember the ones with the girls having a streaking party. I never paid much attention to the party concept because I was too busy making sure my twenty clients were all happy. Yeah. You cannot believe how many people show up for some of these things, and everyone, I mean everyone, has an opinion. It's really nuts, and that's the truth.

I'm not mad at anyone; I love doing hair commercials because they're so challenging. But those advertising agencies hire way too many people, and very few, if any, know anything about hair!  

Anyway, I did those commercials, and those hair highlighting kits do work. The trick is, 
  • You have to read all the instructions. 
  • Read read read, and then read them again. They have it all written out for you, really they do, they have done a great job of it. 
  • So pay attention to the details when you decide to give your hair a little oomph!

Hair Dye Stains 

The other products for hair dry are the semi permanent ones that stain your hair. Now, I have used these many times in the past, mostly to match hair extensions for a client. They are great for this, but for you, I think that they're great in between colorings, like for touch-ups. The semi permanent glosses are also great for exact color matches.

Let's say you are two weeks into your color and you are starting to see roots. That nasty regrowth is coming back, and you are busy, but you really need to do some-thing because you have something important to do, or you just don't want to look at those roots (or let anyone else look at them). 


No worries. Just find the temporary color that's the same as the color you are using. (They are matched numerically the same way as permanent color.) This product comes in a mousse, so it's really easy to apply. 



  • Semi permanent stains last anywhere from two to six weeks, depending on the type of hair you use it on. On resistant gray hair, it usually lasts in the two-week range.
  • But on porous, damaged hair, like all other hair products, it will stain your hair and might never come out! 

The good news is, you need to buy these types of products at the beauty supply store, and usually, I said usually, they have someone on staff that knows what they are talking about. If you're in doubt about color or type, ask.
