I have mentioned before that coloring hair is indeed a trained skill. Not just applying it correctly, but formulating it correctly. As hair stylists, we don't walk in the back room, pick a premixed color off the shelf and toss it on your hair. We follow rules, we know when to break those rules, and we figure it out to get the desired result. This is often why home dye jobs end badly. It takes more. There is a reason we go to school believe it or not. Really coloring hair all starts at the basic color wheel. So knowing this, allow me to introduce you to something cool you might want to know about this summer if you are going blond.
It is called purple shampoo. It is just what it sounds like. It deposits a tiny amount of purple on your hair when you wash. Sound scary? Well consider this. What is the opposite of purple? Yellow/Gold. Say you want to be blond, but couldn't quite get there and ended up with a little more warmth than desired. Well this lovely purple shampoo could help nudge you in the right direction! It should be used carefully and only if you have warmth in your blond. If you are platinum, you will start retaining a purple tint. However if you need a little help, this could be just what the doctor, or stylist, ordered. SO because it is the time of year when people start bleaching, I thought it would be appropriate to mention. Keep in mind there are also blue shampoos to counteract stronger warmth like orange. Just another example that there is always something to help you love your hair a little more.
