Colored hair has always been a fashion statement. In the good old days harsh soaps and bleaches were used to lighten or redden the hair. But the use of bleaches caused more harm than good to the hair. Today, Hair colors have special polymers and conditioners incorporated in them. These polymers and conditioners penetrate in the hair shaft and enter the cortex, mending any damage in the normal hair structure. The ultimate effect of colors is that the hair becomes shinier, smoother and healthier.

Before deciding on the color, a talk with the stylist is essential...One has to keep in mind, the shape of the face. Not all colours suit particular faces. Let your stylist know if your hair was previously coloured or hennaed, if you had straightened or permed your hair.

Also one must have hair checked out for porosity or elasticity, both of which play a major role in how healthy your hair will look after the color.

Highlighting- a vogue...

Anyone with brown, black, blonde, permed or straight hair can highlight their hair. If your hair colour is med to light brown, add glints of buttery gold throughout your hair or on just a few strands. If your hair is black, try some warm chocolate highlights or soft chestnut highlights. Decide exactly where you want highlights to accentuate your hairstyle - the top of the head, a few tendrils on the sides, all over the head or just the bangs.

Colored hair requires special care. Follow these tips to keep your hair looking great:

Use a shampoo created especially for colour-treated hair like Phyto Citrus, Peter Louis Renew or Rene Furterer Okara
Condition regularly
Don't brush hair when wet -- use a wide-toothed comb Blot your hair dry -- don't wrap it or roughly dry it with a towel Avoid over drying -- blow dry until hair is almost, but not entirely, dry

Hair management

To avoid massive tangles, wash longer natural hair in the shower. Massage in shampoo from front to back and let the water flow through your hair the same way. Also avoid bunching up the hair as you wash because this can also lead to tangles.

Avoid using rubber bands because they can pull the hair very tightly. Rubber bands can also cause friction with the hair, resulting in hair pulling and possibly permanent hair loss.
