Choose the right coloring technique
Modern complex coloring techniques such as balayage, shatoush, ombre or AirTouch aim to create a natural transition between the natural and light shade of the hair. Therefore, dark roots do not stand out even when the strands grow back. With this coloring you can go from 3 to 8 months and the hairstyle will still look neat.
choose a shade
Coloring blond strands is not the best choice for brunettes and vice versa. In such cases, you will need to renew the color every three weeks. Therefore, the ideal option is shades that do not play in the contrast of the hair, adjacent to the natural. If you are naturally blonde, it is better not to dye your hair in dark colors, otherwise, when growing back, natural strands will create the effect of gray hair or sparse hair. Choose lighter shades and you won’t go wrong.
Forget about cold tones
Natural or warm tones last longer, while cooler pigments are washed out of the hair much faster. Therefore, if you don’t want to go to the colorist every month, you can forget about the platinum blonde.
Remember home care
To protect and maintain the shade, use products – shampoo, tinted conditioner and mask. And if you style your hair with a hairdryer, do not forget about thermal protection – the high temperature of the hairdryer and hot stylers contribute not only to discoloration, but also to brittle strands.
Bonus Hacks
Use warm, body-friendly water when washing your hair. High temperatures spoil the structure of the hair and contribute to the rapid washing of color.
When applying conditioner and mask to your hair, distribute it with special combs for greater homogeneity and always keep the time specified on the product package.
