How to Get More Time Out of Your Salon Hair Coloring!


Hair color does wonders for a woman’s spirit and self-esteem.  However, you may also be concerned what too frequent exposure to those hair coloring chemicals may be doing to endanger your overall health. So what are you to do when you want your hair to look good?  The answer is you want hair color that will be low maintenance, which means more time between colorings to lessen the risk.

What I am about to share with you can also be done at home, but it a more complicated process than merely using a box of hair coloring.  Therefore, it is best to seek the help of a salon professional because what you want to ask for are adding highlights that you can see partially from underneath and inside the hair.  

Adding a few different shades in the hair makes for lower maintenance once it starts to grow and look less noticeable.  This will extend your hair coloring longer. 

Do not confuse this with a technique like balayage that also uses highlights, only in that process they are painted on top instead of underneath and inside the hair.  Read my earlier post for more on balayage.

Try it for yourself and you will extend that hair coloring a bit longer than you think!

You Won’t Believe How Much Balayage for Your Hair Warms Up a Winter Complexion!


Other than new makeup or skin care, I can tell you of another exciting way to make you look irresistible.  You need to try balayage for your hair because it can wake up a dull complexion as well as bring out your eyes and magnificently enlarge them. 

In case you haven’t heard, balaye is a French technique of artistically using hair color to paint on soft, natural streaks of sun-kissed color.  When done correctly, the effect is stunning in the way light plays off that exceptional color delivery in the hair, especially for gorgeously framing a face.  

Unlike the effect of foils, balayage gives your hair more of a flattering dimension because it is painted only on the surface and not to the point of saturation, but gracefully for the most natural color possible.  I just love it how sweeping on just some light color can be so sensational to set you apart from the crowd.

Try it yourself and then look in the mirror!   You will be doing double-takes at your reflection.
