Like A Virgin

So in my opinion about 90% of the general public look better with colored hair rather than their natural color (especially Caucasians). Most of the time virgin hair has a blah, ashy tone to it. So I always encourage spicing it up. However, if you are in that small group that looks fabulous naturally, there are some perks to colored hair you should be aware of. I wouldn't want you missing out.

First of all, contrary to popular belief, coloring your hair does not really cause damage. Lightening your hair does. Though even that can be done very safely and with minimal damage. But changing the tone, or going darker does not "fry" your hair as some might say. It almost does the opposite actually. Color is made to seal down the cuticle. So after a fresh color, you might notice your hair actually feels better than before.

Colored hair also has a shinier look to it than virgin hair. Though virgin hair is healthy and nice, it doesn't have the added help of color to give it that real shine. This is one of my favorite features of freshly colored hair. So what do you do if you want to keep your color but you are craving the colored hair benefits? Ask your stylist about a clear gloss color. While it doesn't alter the color of your hair, it will give you that sealed cuticle, beautiful shine of colored hair. This is also a great option for anyone looking to give their hair a little boost or help it appear healthier.
