Have you always wanted to dye your hair but couldn’t find the right color? Don’t worry, a lot of people struggle with this decision. It can feel intimidating to pick a color because it will be a part of who you are until you change it again. However, you do not want to continuously change your hair even if the color is not right. There are a few things to keep in mind before deciding on a color. Here are a few tips for choosing the right hair color and how to deal with a disaster if it goes wrong. 

Which Color? 

Figuring out the right color depends on the type of look you are trying to achieve. Some techniques are more popular than others, but each has its unique look. Deciding on a color and style is the first step to take. Here are a few hair color styles. 

Balayage and Highlights

Some natural looks include balayage and highlights. These styles add highlights to the hair through different shades of natural hair. The balayage technique includes a hand-painting process and adds layers and dimensions to the hair. While highlights use foil and the dye is applied to the root of the hair at the end. Both techniques have their pros and cons, but either one will provide a very natural look. 

Shades

If you are looking to dye a different shade into your hair it’s best to determine your skin tone first. Figuring out your skin tone will help you determine the appropriate shade to apply to your hair. This is an important step because some shades will not match the tone of the skin. Of course, it is your ultimate decision to make if you want a color compared to another. Just keep in mind the shade and ask your hairdressers about skin tones. 

Unconventional Colors

Society has become extremely progressive over the last few years and vibrant colors are showing up more often. Blues, purples, and even rainbow colors are popping up all over social media. If you are one of those adventurous souls that wish to dive into the color palette, then picking the right color is important. Achieving a vibrant color will take longer in the salon but will be worth the stay to get such a beautiful color. Just keep in mind, some places of work will not accept such an unconventional color, while others will encourage it. It’s a big decision to choose such a daring color but worth the fun!

How Much Does It Cost?

Dying your hair is all dependent on how much you want to spend on the service. Of course, a high-end salon that provides blond balayage will cost more than just simple foil highlights. These salons can charge anywhere between $100-$300. The price is worth the professional cost of the salon. Just know that if the service is cheap, the hair may look cheap as well. However, a lot of people have taken up dying their hair. 

Many people are skipping the salon and providing their hair service. This saves a lot of money but there is also a lot of room for error. As a result, there may be a trip to the salon anyway to repair the hair. Remember that your hair is a detrimental part of how we express ourselves. Take good care of it and it will take care of you.
