The season is about to change—why not do the same with your hair color? We’ve got tons of hair color ideas in the gallery, but first things first, a few ground rules:
1. Take an honest assessment of your hair. If you’re already experiencing damage or thinning, adding color will only put your strands into cardiac arrest.
2. Doing your color at home is a great way to save money but don’t go more than two shades lighter or two shades darker than your natural hair color if you’re an amateur. This is especially true if you use other chemicals like a relaxer or texturizer in your hair. It’s best to leave the extreme to the professionals. And even then make sure you research and get references for that professional.
3. Color can make already dry hair cry for moisture and lack of moisture can lead to breakage. Be sure to handle color-treated hair like a Fabergé egg. Pay attention to how your hair behaves when wet. Hair that is mushy and easily snaps off can be an indication of a protein deficiency while hair that feels tough or dry could need more deep conditioning treatments.
4. Consider weaves, wigs, or extensions for extreme hair color changes. You can get a more “true” bold hue without the damage from several color processes. You can also enjoy a myriad of hair color choices without committing to any hue.
5. Make sure your hair color is occupation and lifestyle appropriate. ‘Rihanna red’ is cool and all for the stage, but maybe not so much for places like the post office or a Fortune 500 company.
