Navigating Hair Care During Uncertain Times
As we navigate these uncharted waters, it’s natural to crave a change, especially when it comes to our hair. Whether you’re considering a bold new color, a trim, or simply want to maintain your current look, it’s essential to approach hair care with caution and consideration.
The Emotional Connection Between Hair and Emotions
Our hair is intricately linked to our emotions, and during this extremely emotional period, it’s crucial to prioritize self-care and compassion. As a hair colorist, I advise against making drastic changes, but if you must, follow these guidelines to ensure a stress-free hair care experience.
Root Maintenance 101
For grey root maintenance, consider using at-home root touch-up kits like Clairol. These products can help touch up your hairline and parting areas. Before attempting any color matching or root touch-ups, consult with your colorist to avoid potential complications. Remember, these kits are temporary fixes and may not yield the same results as a professional treatment.
Temporary Color Solutions
If you’re craving a bold new color, now is the perfect time to experiment with temporary options. Color Wow powder, for instance, comes in a range of shades, including platinum blonde, and washes out with a single shampoo. This allows you to test a new color without making a long-term commitment.
Avoid DIY Disasters
While it’s tempting to trim your own ends or attempt highlights, resist the urge! These DIY endeavors can lead to costly corrections and extended salon visits. Instead, focus on nourishing your hair with heavy masks, oils, and treatments. Kristen Ess’s clear gloss is an excellent option for adding shine and conditioning.
Embracing Natural Texture
Give your hair a break and embrace its natural texture. Try massaging your scalp with a hairbrush before showering to exfoliate your skin. Break down your shampoo routine into two separate washes using smaller amounts to ensure a deep clean and healthy scalp.
Stay Connected with Your Stylist
These uncertain times can be challenging for both clients and stylists. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your colorist or stylist with questions or concerns. We’re here to help and support you in any way possible.
Wishing You Health, Safety, and Beautiful Hair
Remember, we’re in this together, and soon enough, we’ll return to our salon sanctuaries. Until then, prioritize your hair health, and don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.
