Get Rich Brown Hair Color Without Fading
You are the lucky ones. Just a few areas to keep your eye on, other than choosing the right shade of brown if you don’t want red or golden over tones. Follow the tips below to see how easy it is to have the same shade as Angelina Jolie.
The rule to follow so you won’t have too much gold or red showing with the finished results is simply not to use golden or red brown shades unless you want these shades to show in your final hair color. If your hair is too dark and you want a lighter brown you will have these tones show up…so don’t go too light. Decide on a shade that is close to your natural shade of brown or just one shade deeper or lighter.
Browns also fade but, they are mostly known for the buildup of color on the ends of the hair strand. The shade you use does not matter if the formula is over lapped on to the ends too often. All hair color formulas will build up if they are processed too long and overlapped.
The color buildup is dark and heavy and the ends look dry and unconditioned hair, and treatments don’t help. This gives an aged and unconditioned look to the overall hair color. If you want to save money make sure you don’t overlap the color either at the scalp or on the ends. The rule that all good professionals know is that color over color will only deepen the part that has been overlapped.
If you overlap the color at the scalp your hair will have a dark band if the same is done on the ends of hair they will look heavy and deeper than the rest of the hair. This is not good if you want to look your age and have healthy beautiful hair. This gives the overall washed out flat look to your skin tones, which adds age.
A good rule to follow is that if you are over 30 don’t go too dark even if you were a raven black beauty when you were “hot and thin” at 20 …it does not work for your age when you age…sorry…dark hair color is aging. If you want to stay a bit deeper then add a few highlight to break it up …and keep the highlights in a soft rich brandy brown. You may just love it.
Trouble: If you have build up on the ends or at the scalp you must see a professional that knows what they’re doing. If you don’t it could cost much more than you are willing to pay and the problem will possibly get worse.
Ask a friend for recommendations and go for a consultation before booking the appointment. The process would be to simply lift some of the deeper shade from the scalp or the ends then have the color reapplied for a shorter length of time. The ends really only need a bit of color when doing the all over application you just need to refresh the ends.
If your color is not holding shampoo first then apply the application to the scalp first then bring it through the ends for the last 5 minutes. If you still have trouble (even at the salon) put a conditioner on the ends to help lessen the penetration of color.
