Hair Colour: Roots

Image
Status Shades The first rule is never to look as though you are trying. Gorgeous hair never looks as if it has been dyed. Perfect colour translates to wisp thin highlights that don't start close to the scalp. A weaving of several intensities of colour so no one streak is obvious. The result is natural looking colour and low maintenance. New growth doesn't require monthly visits to the salon. Keeping colour within a couple of shades lighter or darker than your own keep the roots from showing.Honey brown hair is ideal for sunny highlights that can start half an inch from the roots. Most of the lightening is concentrated from the middle of the shaft down. This is an ideal coloring technique for mom's to be, busy mom's and working girls.

Red Alert: Lips

Image
Matte Red Lady like lipstick returns this season. Red lips go with every hair colour. To Get The Look: For a perfectly polished pout trace a lip pencil along the line of the lips. I like Nars Red Square pencil. Do not go over the lip line, even if you have small lips. Next use a lip brush to apply dense matte colour, before gently pushing it into the lips with your fingertips for a long lasting look. Try Nars Heat Wave. Matte lips are in. Gloss is out. Try a nail polish in a matching shade.

Temporary and Semi-Permanent Haircolour

Image
Ask Judaysia Dear Judaysia , What is the difference between temporary and semi -permanent hair colour? Jean Dear Jean, A temporary colour like Roux Fanci-Ful is a colour that will last one shampoo. It is a product you can use to cover roots until you can get a touch up. It can also be used to correct unwanted tones in your hair colour until you can have it corrected. Semi-permanent haircolor color is designed to wash out within a designated number of shampoos. It depends on the product used. Some last longer than others. Be careful with semi-permanent haircolour. It can build up on the hair shaft and look coated.

Hair Colour At Home

Ask Judaysia Dear Judaysia , Can you give me some tips on colouring my own hair. It comes out too dark. I am using Loreal Paris hair colour.I am a natural brunette and want to cover some grey.Thank you. Maria K. Boca Raton, Fl. Dear Maria, It is a good idea to stay close to your colour when you do it yourself. The trick is to chose the right colour. Most women think they are much darker than they are. You should choose a shade which is two shades lighter than what you beleive you are. Try to stick with neutral or warm shades for a more natural look. If your grey is sprinkled through your hair, try combing it on just where the grey is. Loreal is a good at home product. Use a shampoo that is formulated for color treated hair.Always condition your hair after colouring.
