Changing Your Hair Colour

Perhaps one of the most common fashion changes women participate in is changing their hair colour. Some women do this just for a change, others change with the fashion of the day. Today's trends are toward easy glamour. Celebrities are sporting sleek, shiny hair with movement in the cut. Colours are icy blondes, bright reds, and cool browns. For the fashion forward woman, the reddish browns are out. The main thing, though, is to choose a hair colour that works with your skin tone, because changing your hair colour to one that clashes with your skin tones will make you look sick and old rather than dramatic and fashionable. These are some of the newest styles in hair colouring.

Removing black hair dye will usually need to start by bleaching out the black hair pigments. This will be a long process that has the potential to severely weaken your hair. As each layer of coloring is bleached away you will notice that your hair will change to various colors of red, orange and finally white. Once you reach a light shade you can then add hair coloring that is closer to your natural coloring.

Hair colour changes the balance of our overall look. Skin tone, eye colour and natural hair colour will all impact the end results of your chosen shade. For example, some people have natural red undertones in their hair, so a warm or golden blonde will enhance the red, resulting in reddish looking highlights or sometimes strawberry or even orange hair. If your hoping for a strawberry blonde look that instead comes out orange, you'll be disappointed to say the least.

The trend with this style is to choose 2 contrasting colours. You part your hair across the back of your head, from ear to ear, and dye the bottom part the darkest colour. The rest of your hair is dyed the lighter shade. Changing your hair colour this way brings light to your face, or alternately, will curl darker color next to your face for emphasis
