I want to talk about hair. I love sorting out hair queries and problems I am espcially lucky as this happens a lot at work only today I had a customer who's daughter had died her hair black with a superdrug dye then decided to colour strip it with another superdrug product needless to say she ended up muti toned hair ekkk, she had already spent £15 then her mum today had to spend another £19 by which time it would have been far better to go to a salon and have it done professionally. I see this happening a lot the shop products of hair dye are pretty much ok as long as you use one that is a similar to the hair colour you have now or if you want to add tones to youre hair.
I no no these when people want to go blonde going blonde is never easy especially with these kits as they only really work if you are blonde already unfortunatly I know of girls who have jet black hair and buy a Garnier paltimum blonde expecting to be that blonde its chemically impossible to go blonde in one step and then I have known people to bleach their hair all over and wonder why their hair ends up like straw and yellow. sometimes best to visit a Salon and get it done properly a stylist will work with their client to give them the result they want this does take patience it took me a few years of visiting my stylist to get my hair to a platinum blonde colour only then for me 6 months after to go darker in places and therefore another few years later still trying to get back to that platimum blonde then I got bored again am now in a bit of a corner with my hair I love being blonde but then dark hair always looks full of lustre and healthy mine only seems to look good after its been freshly coloured..
So I guess the moral of this blog is if you want a drastic or even small change with your hair seek advice from a stylist first before you start going down the expensive route or trying to correct what you have done.. I know we are in hard financial times now but any good Salon will offer advice for free and you shouldnt feel pressured into booking an appointment with them visit a few and see what each one has to offer also you will find at the moment Salons are being competitive so there are normally special offers on coluring/cutting services so have a look round dont be scared cause trust me it is more scary to find that youre hair has gone that unexpected shade of youre worst nightmare colour you could possibly imagine..
If you dont want to go to Salon dont worry there is a shop called Salon Services its the company I work for I know that in the majority of the stores all the staff are fully trained stylists so you can get their advice and buy the products you need for you to do at home if you so wish and with the proper kit and instructions. If you would still prefer a stylists touch maybe consider a mobile hairdresser. I still do mobile hairdressing specialising in the colour department..
More on hair another time I may blog on hair care and those colour protect shampoos/condtioners are they worth buying and do they really help lock in colour hmmmm....thanks to whoever actaully may read this xx <3
Hi Hon, really good blog. It's so true, am sure superdrug dyes are ok if you want a little change, but I've made the mistake of trying to top up a salon blonde (to go pillar box red I tell you, not blonde!) at home, and to be fair my hair looked like a banana which had seen better days.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mobile hairdressing business will go very well indeed :) xxx
Hi lovely:) ahh I remember the pillar box red days it is so difficult to upkeep when you do the bleach then bright colour method..anyhow you have good hair and colour and I just know its much healthier too.. ahh thank you xxx
