Narrow Down Your Choices For Your Next Hair Color Shade - Part 2

Otherwise, be sure to go to a professional who knows what he or she is doing. Not doing so can lead to damaged hair for a significant period of time.

Next, to narrow down your colors be sure to talk with a hair stylist who knows about the number system. The elements include where you want to be on the 1 through 10 scale and being honest with where your hair color is today. This lack of understanding the way the numbers work has led to several botched hair coloring attempts by people doing them at home or with untrained stylists.

Finally, you will want to make sure that you test out the new color on a small section of you hair which has no buildup on it. Talk with a qualified stylist about what is needed to remove all buildup on your style of hair. Once set, be sure to follow all of the instructions and only test out the color on a very small section of your hair. If you have calculated the numbers incorrectly, or if you simply do not like the look, then the damage is minimized and can be covered up fairly quickly. Only once you have tested the coloring process properly on your hair should you consider proceeding further with your desired new color.
