Brunettes and Color

Being a hot brunette, especially a fake one involves a lot of work. First of all the color needs a good shampoo and a good conditioner for colored hair to maintain that healthy fabulous look. When the color starts to fade she can use a shampoo and conditioner with color pigments to add that little extra to boost the fading color. When the natural color starts showing close to her scalp she needs more serious work. Of course she wants an even tone all over her hair so she tints only the roots, because if she adds color to her whole hair she will end up with black ends and brown roots. Make sense?

So she adds the color only where needed, the roots, and when the color is processed she quickly rinses her hair so that it is damp all the way through before massaging up a lather from the color. This lather and that last tiny tiny bit of color from the bottle is massaged through her hair and then combed through, then massaged again. It sits for about 5 minutes before she rinse her hair again this time using shampoo and conditioner, for colored hair of course!



Why will the ends be darker if color is added on all the hair instead of only the roots?

If you think about it as simple math. Already dark color+more color=very dark color.
What most people say now is "but my ends are all faded and needs more color" well, do they need as much color as the roots? No they don't, and if they are really faded use a waterbottle to spray the hair after half the processing time and then add color to them. This weakens the color but still allows it to process chemically and therefore touch up.
