Do Blondes Have More Fun?

.As I told you in my last blog, I know it has been a while but have been trying to find a new product for Blondes. Have I found a product for blondes that is so outstanding, that will look so natural that no one will know if you color or that God gave this to you. It is called BlondMe and it is the choice for anyone who wants to be blond. BlondMe offers you full blonde services in color, care and styling gives you what your looking for in being a hot blonde.
Have you ever dreamt of having a whole room of people stop what they are doing and turn and look at you because your hair is eyecatching, show stopping, shimmering and has the lustrous look.  When you were a child can you remember being a blond then as you got older that light blond got more of a dishwater look to it then it got darker and those white gray hairs started showing up. Let me tell you that with BlondMe you can have whatever you want because it is like magic. You can be a total blond where you lighten and tone the hair or you can have highlighted hair and you can also have white blending. White blending is for woman that have salt and pepper hair.
. Keratin and color reviving pigments provide targeted care and color maintenance.  When  using blondme, I have found that it gives the light hair a translucent look to the hair. I have always said that Marilyn Monroe was the most beautiful blond of all time.. BlondMe offers you full blonde services in color, care and styling gives you what your looking for in being a hot blonde. This one time I think you need to have your stylist that uses BlondMe be the one to help you make the decision of what color of blond you want to be.

Going Green With Hair Color:

I've been on a mission to find a hair color that I was not allergic to and I have finally found it. Color today has way to much ammonia in it.  Tends to burn the scalp and makes you become teary eyed and for some it causes blisters on the scalp. It also stains the skin around your hairline which takes time to get rid of. When this color is applied you can be sure you will not smell anything.
Some clients have never considered a color application because they are concerned about the unnatural looking results. They don't have to worry anymore as this color gives you that beautiful natural-looking  color result. Natural hair usually appears with uneven areas like lighter ends on the crown section or a darker nape area. This color has muti-tonal  principle which adapts to this natural phenomenon and allows for the most natural looking color results. The color range is developed for multiple shade combinations. All tones are intermixable and allow creative compositions and individual creations.
This color also has besides know ammonia, silicones, formaldehyde derivates, parabens, alcohol,paraffin,mineral oils or artificial colorants. They only use pure and natural ingredients to produce formulations that deliver the highest degree of naturalness possible. Everything they use is biodegradable and is from plant based materials.
This color I would use on anybody and it is called ESSENSITY by Schwarzkopf. This color is for anyone who is health conscious, eco- conscious and wants to use products that are natural and have healthy ingredients. For me as a stylist it is the perfect choice. My favorite things about this hair color is it does not bother my scalp and leaves my hair so shiny. The color in this picture says it all.

Treating Dry Hair:

If your hair looks dry and lifeless. This type of hair craves moisture, and in most instances requires a healthy dose of protein. Dry hair needs protection in the form of emollients and lubricants, which will lay down the outside cuticle layer of the hair and create the shine you want. Humectants will attract and retain moisture within your hair. Moisturisers  contain humectants that not only replace lost moisture but actually attract moisture and retain it in the cortex of the hair. Daily shampooing and conditioning with mosturizing and emollient treatments will go a long way toward alleviating a dry, tight scalp, while  replenishing lost moisture and proteins  along the hair shaft. Try using moisturisers, which have humectants in it. Essential fatty acids are great moisturizers. One of the best and most cost effective essential fatty acids is safflower oil. The scalp produces the best essential fatty acid called sebum but sebum cannot reach upto the entire length of the hair, especially if it is long.
Take a few drops of safflower oil in your palms while the hair is dry apply to the ends and then work toward your scalp. By applying safflower oil your dry hair will have the proper amount of humectants to attract and retain moisture. If possible leave in your hair at least 2 hours. Use a moisturizing shampoo  and conditioner on your ends only every other day. Rinse with water alone on off days.. When you're at beach, spread some of the sunscreen use on your body through your hair so that it doesn't dry out and get fried from the sun.

Does Your Hair Color Last?

Once you have gotten your hair colored with your desired shade, the next thing you want to do is make your hair color last as long as possible. There are several things you can do to maximize the life of your newly colored locks and keep it looking  gorgeous and vibrant as long as possible. I have some ideas that may help you  extend the life of your color.
Select the hair coloring product that is most compatible with your life style.  If you don't have time to redo your  new growth every 4-5 weeks, you may want to select a hair color shade that is only 1-3 shades lighter than your natural color.  The closer you go to your natural hair color, the less your new growth will show as they grow out. When your new growth is less obvious, your hair color will last longer before you have to  touch it up. Always select the type of coloring product that is easiest to maintain or what your stylist thinks is best for you.
Apply a deep conditioning treatment to your hair a few days before coloring. The better conditioned your is, the easier the color will take and the longer it will last.
Color hair that has not been washed for one day.  The natural oils will assist in making the hair color  application more successful. The color will cling better to hair that is not dry.
Remember what I said about shampoos that have laurel-sulfate in them, they will strip some of your color out with each shampoo. Try some of the organic shampoos like the one I mentioned in my other blog.  At least use a shampoo for color treated hair.
Avoid exposing your colored hair to the sun or chlorine in swimming pools. The sun may fade your hair color and the chlorine will damage the color. If you are a blonde you may get a green tinge to your hair from the chlorine.
Use layered colors to prevent an overall faded color look. The advantage to applying layered color would be to have complimentary shades of darker and lighter colors which would reflect the light and would give your a multidimensional look.
