There is nothing more drastic than changing your hair color. For this reason, there are a few questions to ask your hair color specialist when changing. You want to get the much-needed glow paired with the right hairstyle. So, when you visit us the next time, add the following to your new hair color list.
1. Do I Have a Healthy Scalp And Hair?
Yes, this may sound silly, as you clean your hair and often see your hair stylist for haircuts. Still, when coloring, you want to ensure a healthy scalp and hair that looks excellent while remaining amazing.
Ask your hair color specialist to evaluate your scalp and hair to determine whether they are dry or oily, have split ends, or have dandruff. Your colorist will then recommend a treatment to ensure your hair is healthy before coloring.
2. How Long Does Coloring Take?
This is an essential question for your hair color specialist, as various treatments take time. For example, the time it takes to go from a light to a dark color or to have a balayage differs, and the same applies to how short or long your hair is. Depending on your color treatment, your stylist can tell you how long the process will be.
3. Will The Color Suit Me?
Another essential question to ask your hair color specialist is whether your chosen color suits you. They will make color suggestions according to your skin color and eyes. Still, if you are considering one of the latest hair trends for 2025, bring some ideas. An important note is that you can find colors in different hues, and your colorist can pick the ideal shade.
4. Will The Color Be Low or High Maintenance?
If you prefer low maintenance, pick a color that will provide ease and comfort. However, if this is not essential, you can opt for a high-maintenance color. Some colors need more upkeep than others, and your color specialist will recommend a shade based on your needs.
5. What Must I Use to Maintain The Color?
Now that you have decided on the most stunning shade, you must know how to care for it at home. Ask your color specialist what products you can use to keep your hair looking vibrant and healthy. Also, ask what treatments they recommend and what tools you can use to prevent damage.
6. Does The Color Last Long?
While there is no definite answer, some color treatments last longer than others. Some colors fade faster if you have gray hair, while others last longer. Your hair texture and health also affect how long the color lasts.
7. Will You Be Able To Correct My Hair Color?
If you have experienced poor hair coloring, it is the worst feeling. For color correction, it is best to seek out a specialist. So, if something goes wrong, this is another crucial question to ask your hair color specialist.
Things to Know Before Coloring Your Hair
You may have already settled on a new color or planning for this activity. Still, it takes proper preparation to help avoid costly expenses.
1. Schedule Your Color Consultation
One of the best ways to select the right hair color is to schedule a color consultation with us. When you visit, you can bring your styles and colors as references.
2. Skip Your Shampooing For a While
While coming to your coloring appointment with clean hair, we recommend skipping shampooing as it strips your scalp of natural oils. We recommend you wash your hair 48 hours before your appointment.
3. Avoid Heat Styling
The same goes for heat styling before your appointment, as the tools damage the strands and can change your hair porosity.
4. Give Your Hair a Deep Conditioning
Before your appointment, give your hair a deep conditioning to prevent damage. It also helps to retain the color evenly. For damaged or frizzy hair, we recommend a protein-based treatment before coloring.
