DIY Vivid Bright Hair Colors
The first and most important step in DIY hair colors is, not to do it. The second step is to research a professional who can create the vision you desire. The third step is to book a consultation and be patient with the process.
Social media is a beautiful thing, it will have us believing we can do anything. It will also have you doing your hair color at 2 am. The internet has created an illusion in our minds that we are all experts because we watched ten videos, and have an Amazon account to buy all the products. I suggest If you like hair color, why not take a coloring class before experimenting in the midnight hour on yourself? Did you know most beauty videos are heavily edited and shortened? Great color with different depths and shades can take up to 8 hours. You can try your fancy vivid purple explosion, if you want to, but don’t expect a hairstylist to be eager to fix it, save it, or correct it.
Research a hairstylist by using the hashtag #colorist. Colorists are those who are experts in this field of color. Warning, just because they use the term colorist does not make them one! Look for pictures of their work. You need proof, you want to see real photos. Stock photos and pictures of color products are not sufficient. If rich dark blue hair color is on your mind then you want to see that on their timeline. If all you is blondes or highlights chances are they do not do blue. If all you see is beautiful brightly hued wigs, or luscious candy pink braids, chances are that stylist may be strong in just coloring weaves or doing colorful braids. Look for someone who has pictures of their work that resembles the look you want. You can also read reviews and ask around. Word of mouth was around way before social media.
The most important step is booking a consultation. In my experience the best results come from the best consultation. Will you let someone make your wedding dress site unseen, no measurements, no consideration for your style and your lifestyle? Consultation provides consideration for your time, your needs, and the best methods to achieve the results. The price will be discuss and last but not least the process will be explained. You may be surprised that the color you desire takes longer then you desire, or you hair may not even be healthy enough for it. You may even be pleased and overwhelmed with the results of taking your time and allowing others to do their job.
