To understand the science of hair color, it is essential to know WHAT we are coloring. Types of hair can be drastically different – from curly to straight, thin to thick and blonde to black – almost no two hair strands are alike. How to adjust coloring to your hair type?

Coloring hair is a complex process that involves more than the application of a Coloring agent into your hair, letting it sit, then washing it out.

Hair coloring is a great way to change up your look and express your creativity. However, it can also be quite intimidating if you don’t have much experience with it. Here are some things to keep in mind when considering hair coloring.

Firstly, it’s important to consider the health of your hair. If your hair is already damaged or fragile, adding color to it could cause further damage. If you’re unsure about the health of your hair, it’s a good idea to consult a stylist before coloring.

Secondly, it’s important to choose the right color for your skin tone and natural hair color. This can be a bit tricky, but there are some general guidelines to follow. For example, warm skin tones tend to look best with warm hair colors like golden blondes or rich browns, while cool skin tones tend to look best with cooler hair colors like platinum blondes or ash browns.

Additionally, it’s important to consider the level of maintenance required for your desired hair color. Some colors require more upkeep than others, so it’s important to think about how much time and effort you’re willing to put into maintaining your color.

In general, hair colouring is simply the application of artificial colour pigments to change the colour of your hair. There are four types of hair colour: Temporary, Semi-permanent, Demi-permanent and Permanent.

There are 4 basic types of Hair Colors

• TEMPORARY: A temporary color will stain or coat the outside of the hair shaft, and as the name implies, it will wash out in one or two shampoos. We use temporary colouring in our custom blended shampoos and conditioners to maintain or “refresh” your hair color between regular color treatments.
• SEMI-PERMANENT: Like temporary coloring, semi-permanent coloring is a short-term option that can add greater depth to hair. It provides a slight blend with the existing color but may not thoroughly cover the existing color. Semi-permanent hair coloring will last a lot longer than temporary coloring but washes out between four and six shampoos.
• DEMI-PERMANENT: This type of coloring is designed to deposit color for subtle changes but will not lighten the hair. Demi-permanent color will provide some coverage for someone with a small percentage of Gray, but it may not offer complete coverage for someone with moderate to mostly Gray hair. When coloring your hair with demi-permanent color, it will last four to six weeks.
• PERMANENT COLORING: Coloring your hair with permanent hair coloring generally gets the best results. It is flexible to lighten hair up to three levels from sheer coverage to complete coverage with more intense shades. It is also the most durable with coverage lasting five to six weeks.
