That Bold Color! – What You Should Know Before Taking That Bold Step

When it comes to hair color, these days we are really spoilt for choice. We cannot resist this hot new trend.  

The Vibrant Reds

The Luxurious Purples

The Sophisticated Greys

The Balayage of Beautiful Blonds

It has become an extension of our personalities and the rich, alluring look that it brings makes it oh so tempting.  But before you take this bold step here are some things you should know:

• Pre-Lightening Is A Must – Caribbean people naturally have dark hair and for the bright hair color to deposit, the base hair needs to be lightened.  This means that your natural hair will need to be bleached into blond which can damage your hair.  However, don’t worry this just means that you will have to do the proper maintenance and upkeep to prevent your hair from breaking and drying out which can be done at your local salon who will also supply you with the products you need to treat your new hair.

• Fashion Colors Fade Easily – These colors don’t usually last a long time even if you’re using the right shampoo and conditioner.  The bleached blonde will soon start showing up which simply means prepare to have your hair retouched regularly.

So if you want to get that color, do it! This is just to get you prepared so you can ask the right questions, get the right products, and give your hair the luxurious treatment that it deserves.  You can even use your trips to the salon for touch-ups as an opportunity to get one of the several hair treatments that are appropriate for your hair type because hair is beautiful and after all your hair deserves it!
