Seven Home Hair Color Tips for Great ResultsWritten by Nancy Faizabadi
Continued from page 1
·Cool color favorites like bluish red, fuschia, black, royal blue, and pine green indicate that cool hair tones are best for you: platinum, ash blonde, ash brown, burgundy, and jet black. ·If you look good in true red, purple, charcoal grey, periwinkle, and teal, then neutral tones like sandy or beige blonde, chocolate brown or mahogany will suit you. 4.How do I get ready to color my hair first time? It's a good idea to gather a few materials together before starting: an old T-shirt, a few old towels and a washcloth that you don't mind getting stained, some hair clips for sectioning your hair, a timer, and a hand mirror to see back of your head. 5.If I color my hair at home and hate it, what can I do? There are some home hair color products you can use to repair damage, but it isn't easy. The problem is that if you used a home hair color kit to obtain a lighter color, your hair has been bleached and colored in a single process. So color needs to be added back in a process called "filling" before using final color formula. Whatever you do, don't simply buy a box of your original color and try to cover over a bad dye job... it won't work. Fixing hair color gone wrong is a multi-stage process so a trip to salon may be in order. 6.I already have permed hair. Can I color it without damaging it? If your hair has been permed or relaxed, color has to be applied carefully or it can weaken structure of your hair. Salons have colors specially formulated for treated hair. But if you insist on home hair coloring, choose a shade darker than you want since processed hair may come out lighter than expected. Then do a strand test to make sure your hair can handle chemical stress. 7.I love my new color... now how do I keep it looking good? You'll probably want to recolor every four to six weeks. Make a record of hair color product and shade you used, and how long you left it on ends and regrowth. Use shampoos and conditioners formulated for color-treated hair to prevent fading. Stay out of sun and chlorinated pools. Hair that has been previously been bleached is prone to such effects and should be rinsed as soon as possible. Don't use heavy conditioners and oil treatments after coloring... they can lift color. Now go out and enjoy your new look and all money you saved by doing it yourself!

Well, just choose which way that you want to follow. Many people who understand will prepare for changes. Some don’t and think everything will be fine after all. But things don’t always goes as smoothly as we think. When changes occur, some accepted it and move on. But some will stay on same spot, hopping that things will be fine again. As time goes by, people who move along with changes, gradually adapting to a new situation. Those who never move along, they will never show any progress and live anxiously as they are running out of stuff they need like money or food etc. Slowly those who understood importance of moving on, begin to walk into darkness in search for sunshine. Move on with changes and you’ll live happier. There’s no situation where no changes will occur. When time passes by, more and more changes will keep coming into your life. If you know of anyone who is lost or stuck, be their leader and guide them towards sunshine path.
