From Blonde To Brunette

I actually went from Platinum Blonde to a beautiful Mocha Brown. After I did, I realized that there are a lot of gals out there that are thinking of doing the same. They are attracted to the fact that would not have to touch up their roots as often, but are worried about the color fading.

Well, here is the deal. The reason that you should see a professional when you are thinking of any drastic change, is the fact that we know what needs to be done in order to make your color look fabulous and be long lasting!

If you have a dark color on you hair and you want to go lighter, it involves pre-lighting.
And if you are going darker from a very light, porous or damaged hair, you need to first be back filled.

What that means, is that your stylist needs to determine what pigments are currently lacking in your hair, and they must first add them back. So they are filling back in the missing pigment (back filling, get it? :) )

Back filling is done with a demi permanent color and processed before your hair is rinsed and dried.

Afterwards, the permanent color is applied as usual.
Your color will hold better and not have blonde spots popping through after the first wash ;)

Again, I stress seeing a professional because for instance, my mocha brown was not back filled with a demi permanent brown, it was actually filled a red copper based demi permanent color.

Also, keep in mind that this is considered a double process service, so be prepared to pay more than the cost of a regular color service. But trust me, you will be so much more satisfied than a do it yourself job. And if you botch that, be willing to pay BIG $$ for corrective color!
