Another fall trend year after year that will never go out of style is becoming a Redhead. So a friend requested Bryce Dallas Howard's locks. We discussed her doing at home vs. having it done professionally. I convinced her it would last longer & she'd have a better result using professional color. Convincing wasn't hard to do when doing something so drastic.
Here's what we came up with:
This is where a professional photographer would have came in handy. Cell phone pictures really don't do the color justice, and the overcast outside didn't help. In person, the color is absolutely gorgeous! I made this "cheat sheet" for color application. The formulas I can't take complete credit for, I tweaked one provided by BTC. If you borrow my cheat sheet, please give credit where credit is due & link back to my blog.
Next, I applied Gloss of Redken Shades EQ 1 1/2 oz. 07C + 1/2 oz. 07CB + 2 oz. + Processing Solution for 20 minutes. This gloss ties formula A & B together, while sealing the cuticle & will help her new red hair last longer.
Doing your hair at home vs. having it done professionally.
Doing your own color at home pro- well the only pro is really the price.
Why is it better to have our hair done by a professional colorist?
- A colorist is trained in formulating color, rarely is a stylist throwing on a solid color, there's always a little bit of this & a little bit of that going in your color bowl.
- A colorist is trained in applying a variety of techniques to best show off colors in different hair textures and cuts.
- Professional hair color lasts much longer that a box color you can find in drugstores, we can control the amount of ammonia going into your hair.
-A guarantee, if you mess up your color at home, odds are you're going to come into a salon to have it fixed. A color correction always costs more than if you one have just got it done by a professional the first time.
- Last but certainly not least, no mess to clean up & more pampering!
