Hair Color 101: Our Express Route To Safe, Stunning Summer Tones
It's official, folks — we've passed Memorial Day, the mercury is inching up, and the sun has been kissing your sleeveless shoulders for weeks now. Isn't it time your dark, winter tresses caught up with the changing seasons and flashed a little light? To kick off our Color Chameleon hair-care series, we've whipped up an easy and super-safe guide on how to bring a little summer heat to your locks that should last you well into September.For a little summer brightness, we’re using John Frieda® Precision Foam Colour because it’s free of all the little dangers we’ve run across as hair DIY-ers — dripping, bunching, glopping, and so on. See, no matter how carefully you squirt liquid hair color on your head, it can still get out of control, ruining your tone and your towels. Foam, however, stays put, making it an invaluable plus.
As a matter of fact, the prep here is the hardest part — shampoo and wait 24 hours before beginning. Tough, right? Also, make sure you’re not allergic to the color by testing a drop on a bit of skin 48 hours in advance. Don’t wear hair accessories, use metal tools, or apply to recently treated or wet hair. Remember to wipe any hair color off your skin immediately.
Now, strap on a pair of pro-grade gloves and wrap yourself in towels, because we are ready to go!
