Color Me Timber!

People has colored since, well since they found a way to color hair. In fact most of our beauty tips for hair and skin can date back to the Egyptian's time. Most of us hate our natural hair color, so then we color the hair. Not everyone color but  I bet 95% of women don't know their true hair color. You probably asking yourself now "What is my true hair color?" Like most, we say "oh yeah the dull, mousey looking hair was my natural". Even if you had black hair, blonde hair, red hair, or even purple hair, the answer is always  the dull mousey color. Because we always want something we can't have. The perfect hair color! 
    We look at pictures in magazines or seen our favorite actress on TV and want something we can't have. Or can we? To some extends, we can get the perfect hair color. You just have do research. Where to go,what color works with you and how much it cost. Plus you have to realize the sometimes you need to ask a lot of questions how to get the perfect color.
      When you have a hairstylist doing your hair you need to ask question. First question should be, would  this color work in my hair? Second What is the upkeep? Third questions Will it damage my hair? Now hair color will have some form of damage to the hair, it is a chemical. But if you buy good shampoo and conditioners your hair can be in good shape. Plus if you color every week you are only destroying the hair. You really shouldn't  color less then three weeks anyway. In fact you have less damage by only doing roots instead of the whole thing. And some times it can be cheaper just having your roots done by a hairstylist. Ask how much it would cost you came in every three to four weeks. You be surprised how much it really cost. It might be cheaper then you think.
       Doing your own hair color can be tricky unless you have a degree in hair color.  You have to understand the dynamic of color. Some people are lucky to get the same color each time. I have been doing hair over 15 years and have learn that  it take a simple mistake in color for someone to come in to have me correct their hair color. And it's not cheap to correct unwanted hair color.
     Now over the years I have learn how to correct hair color without damaging the hair too much or have to strip all color and redo it.  It all depends what happen to their hair. When doing your own hair color, make sure you have some one that would be totally honesty with your hair color. I have seen some really bad color, where I thought were they drunk when did their hair or  got  wood stain from lumber store. So try  to find a honesty person tell you what your hair really look like.
        All color company has their own formula  and with that being said you have  to realized that some of  formula are not created equally. There are some color that will not color grays or some will  be hard  to strip out when you get the wrong color or some color will have a cheap chemical that would damage a lot more  that  meets the naked eye. You have to be very careful with some of the colors, you can lose your hair. So do your research on any hair color that you are putting on your hair. If you are to scared to do your own color then go to the professionals.
     Most of  the professional hairstylist have some experience to know what to do and not to do. Plus if a professional hairstylist had screws up on a hair color, they should be able to correct their mistakes. Of course if every time you go there and they keep screwing up, you might have to go some where else. Now if something like your grey didn't cover, tell the hairstylist so they know to fix the problem. The key is communication to the hairstylist. WE ARE NOT MIND READERS. You need to speak up and if that hairstylist doesn't listen, then it's time to look for a new one.
      One last thing, don't say you can't afford color when you bought $300 jeans or drive up in  a BMW. People will spend on things that they really don't need.  Hairstylist has to pay their bills too. I know what you thinking, but really can't afford a professional to do my hair. First you have to ask do I need my hair color? Who would be good at a decent price? Or can I really do it myself without screwing up? Or the last option Can I really afford highlight? Some highlights can be a ten to twelve weeks upkeep which can be cheaper option. Then again you can color or highlight once in while and grow out it, then call it a ombre. Just joking there are a lot more step in an ombre color.
         This just something think about for coloring your hair. Some people love their natural or being grey, but your one to color your hair this should help you. So there you have it!
