A Touch of Color – 2014

Started my day off at work early before heading out to the salon to get my hair done. It was time to get something done to the craziness that is on top of my head. I go to my stylist and I never know what we will do to it until she is done. I trust her completely and I’ve even done purple hair and it was super cute.

I’m still trying to get my skin to heal from all the breakouts I’ve had recently. 

I bring my iPad with me to the salon so I can read magazines from the Next Issue / Texture app while I’m waiting for the color to kick in. It’s $15 a month but totally worth it in my opinion. 

Oh, my question of the day: What bug scares you the most? I hate crickets and grasshoppers because they jump at you. Let me know what insect bugs (haha…get it?!) the most. Digger hates fleas but we give him a medicine called comfortis and it’s the best thing for fleas and works really well for him. We crush the pill and sprinkle it on banana so he can get it down ok.

Discover Your Perfect Shade: Tips for Choosing the Right Hair Color

Hey there, beauty aficionados! 🌟 Are you dreaming of switching up your hair color but feeling a tad overwhelmed by all the choices? Fear not! Let’s embark on a fun and fabulous journey to find the perfect hair color that not only looks amazing but also reflects your unique personality and style. 🎨💃

Understanding Your Skin Tone

First things first, let’s talk skin tone. Knowing whether you have a warm, cool, or neutral skin tone is key to choosing a hair color that complements you. Warm skin tones shine with golden, caramel, or honey hues, while cool skin tones sparkle with ash, platinum, or icy tones. And if you’re neutral? Lucky you! You can rock a wide range of colors. 🌈

Consider Your Natural Hair Color

Your natural hair color is a great starting point. Generally, staying within two shades of your natural color ensures a more natural and flattering result. But hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, the sky’s the limit! 🚀

Think About Maintenance

Be real with yourself about how much time and effort you’re willing to put into hair color maintenance. Some colors, like vivid reds or cool blondes, may require more frequent touch-ups and specific hair care products. 💆‍♀️

Lifestyle and Personality

Your hair color can be a reflection of your personality and lifestyle. Are you a bold trendsetter, or do you prefer a more classic look? Do you have a hectic schedule that might not allow for high-maintenance colors? These are all important considerations. 🤔

Professional Advice

When in doubt, consult a professional hairstylist. They can offer personalized advice based on your hair type, skin tone, and lifestyle. Plus, they’ll ensure that your hair is colored safely and effectively. 🧑‍🎨

Patch Test and Strand Test

Always do a patch test to check for any allergic reactions and a strand test to see how the color looks on your hair. Safety first, beauty second! 🚨

Ready to Experiment?

If you’re not ready for a permanent change, consider semi-permanent dyes or even temporary hair color sprays and chalks. It’s a great way to test out a color without the long-term commitment. 🎉

Conclusion

Choosing the right hair color can be a fun and exciting process. It’s all about finding the shade that brings out the best in you and makes you feel confident and fabulous. Remember, it’s not just about following trends; it’s about expressing your unique self. So go ahead, experiment, and most importantly, enjoy your hair coloring adventure! 🌟
