Live your life in color.
As they say:
"Life is too short to have boring hair."
Some things are basic, but your hair shouldn't be one!
And we all know for a fact that our hair is our real crowning glory.
Hair makes or breaks a person's personality.
A good hair day reflects a person's mood, and I have often heard people saying that a good hair day makes me feel like I can rule the world...
So our look is really precious and plays an important role in one's lifetime.
These days one can do so much with hair to get a new look or makeover.
And the most common, affordable, and trending is coloring the hair.
Hair color goes back a long time, and people have been using various kinds of ingredients to color the hair.
With advancing technology and science, a specific kind of range of hair colors was introduced to give you the desired shade for your tresses.
A different hair color has the power to change your identity and make you feel like a whole different person altogether.
We generally color our hair for two reasons:
• Grey hair coverage, which is commonly done as root touch-ups.
And once in 3 months, a global coverage (covering the entire scalp as well as the length of hair).
• Fashion colors for a new look, which can be streaks, highlights, or sometimes global coverage with some trending fashion colors.
There is an ongoing debate on the use of hair colors and their side effects.
There are so many reservations when it comes to coloring the hair.
Some people just take a chance and dive into getting a new look, while some keep on contemplating and researching and remain confused by so many theories about hair colors.
There are many myths attached to coloring the hair, and oftentimes people are skeptical and refrain themselves, even though in their heart of hearts they really want to try some new hair color.
So, let's take up this topic today and clear the myths that are associated with coloring the hair:
Myth 1: Coloring once means one has to keep coloring the hair always
Truth: Recoloring your hair is entirely your choice.
Coloring doesn't mean that one can't have their natural color back.
Myth 2: Colouring will make hair go grey sooner
Truth: Grey hair is entirely genetic, and coloring does not accelerate the graying of hair.
The hair starts turning grey when the melanin stops producing the color pigment.
Myth 3: Coloring makes hair thin
Truth: Deficiency of vitamins and minerals leads to thinning of hair, and not the hair color.
Myth 4: Coloring will damage the hair
Truth: This one is the biggest myth everyone must have heard quite often.
When you apply dye to your hair, you are opening up the cuticle so that the color can be deposited, which can cause damage, but using the right product can prevent it.
A significant culprit for damaged hair lies in the use of color. If using a proper technique and aftercare, then your hair will be just as soft and healthy always.
Aftercare includes a color-safe shampoo, conditioner, and serum.
Myth 5: Hair color is difficult to maintain
Truth: As I mentioned before, use of excellent aftercare products will not only protect the hair but also make it easy to maintain.
Usage of the wrong shampoo, conditioner, and serum will definitely make it difficult to maintain the color as well as the quality of the hair.
Always buy your hair-care products after consulting your hair stylist, as they know the quality of your scalp as well as the texture of your hair and can suggest the most suitable products.
So, these were the 5 common myths that are associated with hair colors.
Coloring hair will affect the quality of your hair, unless you are using the right kind of products meant for color-treated hair.
Apart from using the products, many factors can affect your hair, and hair damage can be due to those factors, like your health (deficiency of nutrients and vitamins), using hair styling tools like hair dryers, heating irons, etc., your genetic disposition, or any other chemical treatment like permanent curls or hair straightening.
Hence, it is perfectly safe to indulge your mane once in a while in coloring for a fresh, new look or even covering those pesky greys regularly; just make sure you are not compromising on the quality of products.
As someone quoted,
"INVEST IN YOUR HAIR. IT IS THE CROWN YOU NEVER TAKE OFF."
Wishing you all a lovely Sunday and a HAPPY HAIR DAY.
