Hair colouring: Mastering the art of DIY for gorgeous results!

Did you know that without professional advice, home hair colouring can be a dangerous affair? Unless you know what you’re doing, you’re never sure to get:
  • the right colour,
  • shade or
  • highlights,
  • let alone the results you see on the box!

That’s where the beauty consultant or hair colouring professional comes in. In fact, she knows exactly which products to recommend based on certain factors:

  • Percentage of grey
  • Condition of hair (dry, oily, etc.)
  • Colouring products used in the past
  • Styling products, shampoo, conditioner currently used
  • Etc.
This information and more allows the hair colouring professional to guide you to the products that will deliver the best possible results.

In addition, here are a few basic principles of hair colouring.
  • It’s always better to choose products from the same line: peroxide, colour, after-care shampoo and conditioner. These contain active ingredients that work together for optimal results (how it will look and how long it will last).
  • You must use conditioner when you dye your hair – not only right after colouring it, but also every time you shampoo. That’s because the peroxide in hair colouring products opens the hair shaft, which conditioner then seals. It “traps” the colour inside the shaft.  
  • Hair masks are one of coloured hair’s best friends. Generally speaking, they should be used weekly to protect, moisturize, smooth or boost the volume of your gorgeous head of hair!

Remember that achieving beautiful hair colouring results at home requires a little help from the pros!
