Color corrections the right way

by Jamie L Mulvanny of Hair By Jamie Mulvanny (17-Mar-2009)

Wrong color, dull color: they can be repaired.

You've gone with a permanent color or a strong semi-permanent color, but it's just not what looks good for your skin tones. If you had it done at a salon, any of our professionals will be happy to adjust it. If you're not sure or completely satisfied about the person or Solon you used. (Of course, you might want to think twice about returning to a person or salon.

Correcting to light color

If you've had your hair lightened and then decided platinum just isn't your thing, go back to your styliest and he or she can simply apply a darker toner to get the shade you prefer.

Correcting dull color or lazy color

Spray-on shine and silicone products give instant luster - just don't overdo them or your hair will end up looking greasy? ( a stylist can assist you as well.)

Correcting to dark or off colors

Give it some time don't panic so quickly: During the first week after coloring, hair usually lightens a bit, especially after a few shampoos; this is particularly true of coarse and damaged hair.

Correcting Brassy or redness

If you've lightened your hair only a shade or two (or not at all) with a permanent color, try a blue-toned shampoo, which is formulated especially for this problem it is a little slower way to correct the problem but it work if you only see a small difference, or have your Stylist apply a blue or violet toner to counteract the redness.
