Grab your brushes and don your gloves; it’s time to explore this technicolor dream of hair coloring techniques. We start our journey with the grand poobah of hair colors — Permanent Hair Colours. It’s like knights of old swearing allegiance to a king – a serious commitment. This hair dye submerges each strand into its royal magic, covering every inkling of your previous hue. The color is absorbed deep into the hair shaft, which is epic for covering those rogue greys. But remember, it isn’t commitment-phone-friendly. So, if you’re a fling person, I’m sorry to burst your bubble. Moving on to the average Joe of hair colors — Semi-Permanent Hair Colours. This is your no-strings-attached, let’s-see-how-this-goes kind of dye. It lasts for about 4 to 12 shampoos and contains no ammonia or peroxide, so it is low risk, high fashion. Perfect for a chic soirée or impressing your cute barista life crisis. Right, let’s moonwalk into Temporary Hair Colour now. It’s all the fun with none of the commitment. It’s the hair color equivalent of eating cake for breakfast. Don’t like the hue? Don’t worry; it’ll fade after a few shampoo sessions. Think of it as a harmless fling that your hair will bear no grudges against. And now, ladies and gents, we hit the high note with Hair Lighting. Now, this one’s for those who fancy a bit of bleach therapy! It helps carve out pieces of your hair strands and make them a few shades lighter. It’s like high-definition television for your hair, but don’t go overboard, or you’ll celebrate your “bleachella.” With this newfound knowledge, you’ll swap the monochrome world of one-trick pony hair colors with an array of choices like a kid in a candy store. Or, or… an adult in a wine shop – all set to choose between that full-bodied red or that sparkly champagne blonde. Hold your horses, though; we’re not done yet. So, don’t go scampering off to the salon without reading the rest of this hair-epic! Layering Up With Highlighting Techniques Roll up your sleeves, ladies and gentlemen, and fasten the seat belts of your hair journey as we steer right into the enchanting universe of highlights. Hold on to your hats – and hair- as we dive into the dazzling world of Foil Highlights. Nothing screams “hair dimension” like this classic route, reminiscent of sparkly disco balls and sequins from the ’80s. It’s like composing a symphony but with colors on your hair, each strand individually wrapped in foils, taking you from flat to fabulous faster than your favorite pop song. Take a breath, relinquish your disco fantasies, and descend calmly from the celestial heights into the earthy charm of the Balayage method: no foils, no caps, just pure, natural-looking sun-kissed hair. Imagine a hair-styling apprentice with a palette and a paintbrush, etching out freehanded hillocks and valleys of luscious hues onto your hair canvas. Picasso, eat your heart out! Now that you’ve hit the natural high, let’s tiptoe to the dreamy twilight zone of Sombre and Ombre. I’m talking about the subtle whisper of a color gradient and the drama queen loudly proclaiming her shift from dark to light, respectively. Sombre, Ombre’s quieter cousin, is like a stolen glance at sunset, whispering magical stories in your hair. On the other hand, Ombre is a loud and proud stroll at high noon, a stark contrast between dark and light that screams “Look at me!”. Subtle or dramatic, take your pick; your hair and personal chutzpah can handle them both. Phew, what an exhilarating ride! It makes you wonder what’s next, right? But let’s not run ahead of ourselves. Patience, dear reader; more hair-raising stories await you in the next maintenance chapter.
