Gone are the days when we had to wait up to grow back our flocks to carry a different look. Thankfully, we live in an epoch where best clip-in hair extensions don’t just exist but have also secured a perfect place in every woman’s pursuit of beauty. One does not require to be a celebrity or some popular youtuber or an influencer with millions of followers to be using them.

It’s not magic, it’s science. Many of us go to our colorist and ask for unrealistic work to be done. This leads to an unhappy client and frustrated colorist. Scenario 1: A dark brunette comes into the salon and asks to become a creamy, beige, blonde (“because blondes have more fun”). This is one very dramatic change! Really dark hair becoming really blonde isn’t an easy process. I will use the word “lightener” because it’s a nicer way of saying bleach. Bleaching your hair sounds almost crazy! Lightener and developer are mixed together, painted masterfully on hair to become shades lighter. The lightener breaks down hair’s pigment. The pigment goes through a scale of color to color until you reach the desired lighter shade. You could be left with an orange or yellow tone in your hair before you reach your blonde ambition. Your colorist will keep lifting the foil a highlight is wrapped in to check the status of your hair’s pigment change. When it reaches the right shade the colorist deactivates the lightener by washing it out.

You take so much time curling your hair for a party and mid party your curls are more like waves going flat. Here are 6 steps to create curls that have staying power. Step 1: Wash hair from oil and dirt. Oil and dirt weigh down hair. This includes conditioner, so go easy on applying a heavy amount. Step 2: Towel dry and use a lightweight product that protects hair from heat (Smoothie by Hair Bar NYC). Step 3: Time to Blow dry. This isn’t going to be one of those beautifully sleek, glossy looking blow outs. Soft hair will not hold a curl for long. Instead use a paddle brush or just work through with your fingers. Flip your head over while blow drying for added volume. Step 4: Mist some hairspray (Stay Perfect Hairspray by Hair Bar NYC) on each section before wrapping it around the curling iron. Adjust Curling iron temperature with higher heat for thicker hair section. Cutting sections smaller will create tighter curls. Tighter curls will take a much longer time to loosen up into waves.
Let’s start with good news first. Here are some Pros to color in a box. It’s cheaper. A $5 color job sounds great! No appointment needed. You are a very last minute type of person? You do things on the fly? This does sound like the perfect option for you.
Unfortunately here is a heavy list of cons: A mistake with your cheap box of color could cost you $$$. You could have created such a hair blunder that it takes several visits to the salons to fix it. This mess is one of the more challenging tasks for a colorist. Hope your stylist doesn’t give you he stink eye! You want a new image and want your hair to reflect it? If you are looking to make a drastic color change to your hair, do not use color in a box. Going from Brunette to pale blonde or blonde to red is a process and a professional is well trained for this. Even before a colorist starts this project, your hair gets assessed for the right strategy.
