\n

How often should you top up your new hair colour?<\/h3>\n

You need regular salon visits to keep your hair colour looking vibrant. If you want to spread your appointments, choose a shade that is closer to your natural root colour. Picking a colour that fits your lifestyle makes maintenance easier and reduces visible regrowth.<\/div>\n

\n

How do you choose a hair colour that suits your eye colour?<\/h3>\n

Hair colour works best when it complements your eyes. People with lighter eyes can go super light more easily, while those with medium eyes look great with dark blonde or golden brown tones around the hairline. Dark brown or hazel eyes are flattered by ombre styles, which are dark on top and lighter at the ends.<\/div>\n

\n

Why should you match your new hair colour to your haircut?<\/h3>\n

Your haircut and colour should work together for the best effect. Blunt, solid haircuts suit solid colour application on the edges, while multi-tonal highlights look better on textured hair with more movement. Always make sure your style inspiration reflects both the cut and colour you want.<\/div>\n

\n

How long does it take to achieve a drastic hair colour change?<\/h3>\n

Getting a dramatic new colour can take 2-3 sessions rather than a single appointment. Large changes or multi-tonal effects need time to ensure the best finish and protect your hair condition. Patience brings better, healthier results instead of rushing the process in one visit.<\/div>\n

\n

What can you do to keep your coloured hair healthy and shiny?<\/h3>\n

Work on your hair’s condition before colouring to prevent fading and dullness. The healthier your hair is, the better it reflects light, giving a shinier look to your new colour. Treatments like in-salon masks or nourishing products for dry, frizzy, or weakened hair can make a big difference.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The most important point to factor into a new hair colour is maintenance. Do you really have the time (and money) to keep your colour topped up? ‘Ask the question how often will you really visit your colourist in the future. If you’re looking to spread appointments, then opt for a shade that sits closer to your natural colour on the roots,’ explains Siobhan. ‘If you’re willing to come in more often you will have more options to choose from. It's not worth having a beautiful colour if you are sporting it with unwanted roots! Be sure to pick the best colour service to suit your lifestyle.’<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":29045},{"block_title":"Will your new hair colour work for your cut?","block_content":"

A great colour is nothing without a great cut.  Most of us wouldn’t think to take our haircut into account, but according to Siobhan, it’s so important that they complement each other. ‘Get your hair inspo sorted before you go into see your colourist and make sure the pictures you find are of cuts similair to the one you already have, or plan to get. This is important as different techniques allow the hair to move in different ways.’ Blunt, solid shapes work well with a more solid application on the blunt edges, and multi-tonal highlights work much better on textured hair that has more movement. <\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":29046},{"block_title":"It's all in your eyes","block_content":"

Eye colour has a vital part to play in helping you pull off your perfect hair colour. Who knew! ‘As a general rule, if you have lighter eyes you'll find it easier to go super light. If you have medium eyes stick to subtle tones of dark blonde or golden brown around your hairline to complement your skin tone.  Those with dark brown or hazel eyes will find the ombre look most flattering - dark on top and lighter towards the ends,' explains Siobhan. If you're a dab hand with make-up then anything goes. Amping up your eye make-up and shifting the tones of your foundation will allow you to try a colour that technically shouldn't suit you. Kim Kardashian peroxide anyone? <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":29047},{"block_title":"Dream hair colour doesn't always happen overnight","block_content":"

The magic doesn’t always happen overnight people! Some colours can take time to perfect so ask your colourist how long your goal colour will take to achieve realistically. ‘If you're looking for a big change or multi-tonal effects, sometimes it takes several appointments to get the best finish,’ explains Siobhan. Be patient, and accept that some hair colours take time. It’s better to wait, rather than try to hurry a drastic change in one salon visit. You’ll achieve better results over 2-3 sessions, and using too many products all at once will show in the condition of your hair. So hang in there - the end results will be well worth the wait. We promise. <\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":29048},{"block_title":"Work on the condition of your hair","block_content":"

‘Your hair is like a sponge,’ explains Siobhan, ‘the more damaged it gets the more holes will appear, meaning it's easier for colour to fade.’ Having the healthiest, strongest hair possible will prevent fading and enhance the tone as well. When hair is dry it doesn't reflect light which means your colour will look dull and one dimensional. ‘I recommend in-salon treatments like Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger treatment but if you can't make it to the salon I love Kerastase Therapists for weakened, heavily coloured hair. Kerastase Nutritive Masque is also great for hair that is dry and frizzy. Pro tip? For the best, shiniest results, work on the condition of your hair before your colour, not just after. You’ll see a massive difference!<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":29049}]},"yoast_head":"\nHair Colour: Complete Guide to Choosing Your Shade | Treatwell<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover how to pick your perfect hair colour.
