9/14/2023 8 tips to make hair color last longerDue to the hype surrounding the Barbie film (#barbiecore), not only blonde is trending, but also Barbie pink on heads. So the hair color stays beautiful for a long time. With every color service in the salon, a hairdresser should discuss the care of the hair color with their customer. Especially with these fuschia and neon pink tones, which can fade quickly, customers should pay attention to color care. Andrew Smith, Proprietor of Andrew Smith Salons and Milkshake Global Ambassador, knows how hair color lasts longer. In the following, he reveals his tips, which he gives to his customers. 8 tips to make hair color last longer: 1. Use color shampoo and conditioner Look for products specifically designed for color-treated hair. Avoid shampoos that can attack color and opt for gentle ones, 2. Wash your hair less often Frequent washing can cause the color to fade faster. Try increasing the time between washes to maintain the vibrancy of the hair color. When washing your hair, you should use lukewarm water as hot water can leach the colour. 3. Use cold water for rinsing After shampooing and conditioner, rinse the hair with cold water. Cold water helps seal the cuticle of the hair, preserving color and adding shine. 4. Avoid heat styling devices when possible Excessive heat can bleach hair color, so you should minimize the use of heat styling devices such as flat irons, curling irons and blow dryers. If you want to use heat, you should apply a heat protectant spray beforehand. 5. Protect hair from the sun Prolonged stay in the sun can fade hair color. Wear a hat or use a hair product with UV protection if you are going to be in the sun for a long time. 6. Use Color Refreshing Products Maintain color vibrancy by using Color Refreshing Products (Direktzieher) such as shampoos, conditioners or hair masks specially formulated for the care of colored hair. These products help refresh the color between visits to the hairdresser. 7. Avoid chlorine whenever possible Chlorine in swimming pools can cause the color to fade or even change. To protect the (pink) hair, you should wet it with clear water before swimming and wear a swimming cap. After swimming, rinse hair thoroughly and use a clarifying shampoo to remove any chlorine residue. 8. Schedule regular touch-ups Colored hair needs maintenance to keep it looking fresh. Schedule regular touch-ups at the stylist to keep color vibrant and avoid visible roots. To be clear, the longevity of your (pink) hair color depends on various factors, including the condition of your hair and how well you care for it. from TopHair.de (you may need to translate this site)
Bryant estimated the cost of professional men’s hair coloring in Manhattan to be $50 to $100. For de Blasio, it was almost certainly a good deal less. Written by Frank Rojas A change in hair color can be emblematic of a shift in someone’s personal life, a fresh start or an attempt to hit pause on the aging process. Depending on the person, it may be a significant change that lasts for a while — or just till the next haircut. For many men, it can feel like a chance to strut out a new look, or to signify that they are back on the market. That may have been a consideration for Bill de Blasio, the former New York City mayor: After 30 years of marriage, he and his wife, Chirlane McCray, revealed this week that they were separating. (The couple said they did not intend to divorce and would continue to live together for the time being.) One of the major takeaways for readers who remembered his grayer days in Gracie Mansion, however, was de Blasio’s considerably darker hair. “I never anticipated ever doing anything with hair color,” he said in the interview. “But I like feeling what I feel.” We spoke with hairstylist and colorists about what men should know before going under the dye bottle. First, be sure you want to ditch the gray. Garrett Bryant, founder of the Hawthorne hair salon in Manhattan, said he typically tried to talk his clients out of coloring their gray hair. “I will admit that I am a big opponent of gray coverage,” he said. “It’s not that I have a daddy complex or anything, I just think that gray hair can be beautiful.” Hair color for men can be tricky because their hair is often shorter than women’s, meaning less length in which a colorist can blend colors for a more natural look. You want to avoid any abrupt shifts in color. “If you go too dark to try to completely cover the gray, you’re going to get very flat results; it’s going look all completely one color,” Bryant said. “That’s when it’s going to not look natural on you.” Add a little pepper to your salt. For first timers, it’s best to start small by camouflaging gray hair, rather than completely covering it. Blending allows for a more subtle and natural look. Hannah Parsley, a men’s cut and color specialist at Takamichi Hair in lower Manhattan, said she preferred to start off as minimal as possible when coloring her clients’ hair to avoid that “line of demarcation when their hair grows out.” “You won’t get 100% coverage with blending,” she added, “but it’s a great way to kind of baby step into starting to color your hair and having it naturally get a little darker every time.” Don’t just Google, consult a professional. In the age of DIY, it may seem simple to do a quick Google search or open up TikTok for references. Resist the temptation: It’s usually worthwhile to seek out a professional. Garren, a hairstylist and co-founder of the hair-product line R+Co., recommends getting into specifics with your hair colorist before a single drop of dye is applied. “It’s about figuring out the hairstyle you’re going to wear with it,” he said. “Like, if you’re going to color your hair, what’s your haircut going to look like? What’s your style? You have to have a conversation with your hair cutter, your colorist, and come to some agreement on what you’re going to feel comfortable with in your own skin.” Bryant estimated the cost of professional men’s hair coloring in Manhattan to be $50 to $100. For de Blasio, it was almost certainly a good deal less. Alberto Amore of Astor Place Hairstylists has been the former mayor’s barber since de Blasio was a freshman at NYU, according to his bio. Although he declined to speak specifically about de Blasio as a customer, Amore said on Thursday that he typically charged $20 for a dye job. Be careful not to go too dark with box dye. Neutral and ash colors tend to be the best route when coloring your own hair. You should also not go strictly based on the shades advertised on the box. “The rule of thumb is that those colors tend to be one to two shades darker,” said Rita Hazan, the owner of a namesake salon on the Upper East Side. “So if you think your hair is dark brown, I would go with, like, medium brown. If you think your hair is medium brown, go to light brown.” Going too dark can give you a regrettable shoe-polish look. “I find that a lot of guys start doing it over the counter, and all of a sudden, they get themselves where it starts looking inky or too brassy,” Hazan said. “It overlays and absorbs and then it overlays and overlays to where it gets way too dark, and all of a sudden you see the roots growing out really quickly.” Keep up the upkeep. Maintenance is what will ultimately determine how long your hair color lasts. Bryant advises going to the salon every four to six weeks, but coloring can have a longer life if it’s well taken care of. Several hairstylists recommended Redken and Paul Mitchell products, adding that sulfate-free products could help avoid damaging hair color. from IndianExpress
The best part: It's not just for blondes. #scandinavianhairline If you’ve ever marveled at the light, natural highlights found in Scandinavian hair, then you’re already in the know on the latest hair trend. “Regardless of their hair color, their hairline, face frames and baby hairs are so effortlessly kissed by the sun and stand out so much lighter and brighter than the rest of the hair on their head,” explains New York City hairstylist Jaclyn Seabrooke. “The way the highlights peek out from underneath around the face is so subtle and flattering, as opposed to the bold, solid money piece technique that was previously trending.” This effortless effect has given rise to the trending Scandinavian Hairline—also known as the “Scandi Hairline”—color technique. Ahead, Seabrooke shares her insight on the latest color trend we predict will be spotted everywhere this summer. What is the Scandi Hairline? “The ‘Scandi Hairline’—or Scandinavian Hairline—is a color technique that immediately brightens the edge of the hairline around the face a touch lighter and brighter than the rest of your hair to replicate how the sun hits the hairline.” The Process: Typically performed at the wash basin after other highlighting or balayage services, the “Scandi Hairline” technique involves selecting a small section of hair, about half an inch wide, along the hairline. This section is then processed with freehand lightener for a duration of up to 5 minutes. “To achieve a seamless blend, it’s important that the hairline color is just one or two shades lighter than the rest of your hair,” says Seabrooke. “This ensures a natural look that enhances the beauty of your baby hairs and hairline.” From Natural to Dramatic: The beauty of the “Scandi Hairline” trend lies in its versatility. “This technique is not just for blondes, but can be achieved for redheads, brunettes and darker hair shades that also want brightness to soften the look of baby hairs and the hairline for a really natural brightening effect,” Seabrooke explains. “The technique can look incredibly natural, seamlessly blending with your full hair color, or it can be combined with stronger face-frame highlights for a more dramatic effect.” Maintenance and Touch-Ups: To keep your “Scandi Hairline” looking fresh and vibrant, regular touch-ups are recommended every 12 weeks. For brunettes and darker shades, Seabrooke recommends incorporating a gloss or toner to eliminate any unwanted brassy tones, further enhancing the natural, sunkissed look. from NewBeauty
If you've been using box hair dye to color your hair, now might be time to reconsider your choice. While box hair dye can be convenient and affordable, it comes with a range of potential drawbacks that can negatively impact your hair’s health and appearance. Here, we’re sharing 11 reasons you’ll want to switch from box hair dye to professional hair dye in a salon. 1. Box dyes typically contain metallic dyes. Many box dyes use metallic salts such as lead, copper, and silver to dye your hair, and can cause chemical reactions. While these dyes can provide a quick color fix, they can also cause serious damage to your hair. Over time, metallic dyes can build up on the hair shaft and create a dull, brassy look. Additionally, when you try to remove box dye, the metallic dyes can react with professional color, making it difficult to achieve the desired result. 2. Box color isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Everyone's hair is different—and box dyes aren't designed to take into account your individual hair types, textures, and colors. So, the color you achieve with a box dye may not be the same as the color you see on the box. Box dyes typically contain a limited range of colors, so you may not be able to achieve the exact shade you're looking for. 3. Going back and forth between salon color and box color is a bad idea. If you've been using box dyes for a while and decide to switch to salon color, it's important to stick with salon color. Going back and forth between salon color and box color can cause damage to your hair and make it difficult for your colorist to achieve the desired result. Also, box dyes can contain ingredients that can react negatively with salon color—so it's best to avoid them altogether. 4. Time and money spent on color corrections can add up. If you've had a bad experience with box dye, you know how difficult it can be to correct the color. Color corrections are time-consuming and expensive. By switching to professional hair dye in a salon, you can almost certainly eliminate the need for color corrections altogether and achieve the color you want from the start. 5. Professional hair dye is less damaging to your hair. Professional hair dye is formulated with high-quality ingredients that are much more gentle and less damaging to your hair than box dyes. Another plus: Salon color is applied by trained professionals who know how to minimize damage and protect the health of your hair. 6. Professional hair dye lasts longer than box dye. Get more for your money. Salon color is designed to last longer than box dye, which means you'll need to touch up your color less frequently. This can save you time and money in the long run, as well as reduce the damage caused by frequent coloring`. 7. Salon color is customized to your hair. When getting your hair professionally colored in a salon, your stylist will take into account your individual hair type, texture, and color to create a customized color that works for you. So, you'll get a natural, flattering color that's tailored to your needs. 8. Professional hair dye is more consistent. Box dyes can be unpredictable. The color you get may vary from one application to the next. With salon color, you'll get more consistent results every time. 9. Professional hair dye can be used for a range of color techniques. Want to opt for highlights, balayage, or ombre color? If you're looking to achieve a more complex color look like one of the effects above, salon color is the way to go. These techniques require specialized knowledge and training, and they can't be achieved with box dye. 10. Salon color can enhance the overall health of your hair. Professional hair dye contains ingredients that can enhance your hair’s overall health and appearance. These ingredients can strengthen your hair, add shine, and improve its texture—leaving you with healthy strands. Kenra Color’s Balancing Complex 5 allows for improved condition and manageability of the hair. 11. Trying to save money in the short term may not always equate to savings in the long run. While box dye may be cheaper than salon color, the long-term costs can add up. If you have to correct the color or deal with damaged hair, the costs can quickly outweigh the initial savings. By investing in a professional hair color appointment, you can avoid these costs and achieve a better overall result. Switching from box hair dye to a professional color service in a salon is a smart choice for anyone looking for vibrant, high-quality, long-lasting hair color. By avoiding the damaging effects of metallic dyes, getting a customized color, and making the most of trained professionals’ expertise, you can achieve your desired hair color—with less damage and less hassle. You’ll also enjoy healthier, shinier hair overall. Think outside the box. I’ll see you at the salon. from KenraProfessional
