Test with your Hair Color

“Your hair is 90% of your selfie” is such an honest quote. Your hair should be doing the talking and the trends available these days are numerous. Here’s a look at hair coloring in Calgary and its many faces.

Hair Coloring

There are many colors available, all different and each one serving a different purpose. Trendy temporary hair colors allow users to experiment and play with their looks without committing. The dye coats just the outside of the hair and can be removed with a wash. Grays and pastels are the more popular choices that are make waves on social media. Non- ammonia dyes are semi- permanent and are a great option or covering gray hair. They add shine and gloss to dull hair and can last up to eight washes. Permanent hair coloring can lighten, tone up or darken hair using a long more complex chemical process. There are a number of shades to choose from that will help you achieve your desired look.

Highlights

You don’t always need to color up your entire hair to create a drastic transformation, just opt for highlights. Hair coloring salons in Calgary use highlights to add warmth, depth, vibrancy and fullness to your hair. By placing a color on different sections of your hair you can achieve a refreshing, dimensional two tone look. Ombre hair is darker at the root and gradually fades into a lighter shade at the bottom. Balayage gives a glow to tired looking hair by painting on the highlights at sections where they will reflect light. Lowlights involves a technique where darken tones are used while textured highlights creates a multi layered look using multiple shades.

Caution

Colored hair loses its elasticity and is prone to breakage. It is therefore very important to hydrate the hair and use deep conditioning treatments to maintain the bounce and shine. Bleaching causes hair to knot and dry out easily, which can be reduced by using a smoothening product that will retain moisture and gloss. Hair coloring salons in Calgary suggest using your skin tone as a guide to choose the right shade for your hair. Burgundy and ash are more suitable for lighter skin while copper, gold and auburn are great for warmer skin tones. Never dye hair that has gone through a recent chemical process and always perform an allergy skin test.

There is a shade and style, color and cut for everyone out there. It’s time your hair does all the talking!
