Lighten up for Summer

Date Modified: July 17th, 2009 at 3:34 PM

With the warmer weather here everyone wants to lighten up, but going blond can always be a little disappointing  if not done properly.  Here are a few tips on finding the shade that is right for you.

1. Never choose a look that is too solid; dimension in the hair keeps it natural and makes the grow out easier to deal with.

2.  Choose a shade that is not much lighter then your natural color, this way it looks sun kissed  and not artificial.

3. Always bring photos of blonds, this way there are no misunderstandings of what look you are trying to achieve.

Once you finally go blond, you want to maintain and protect it with sulfate free shampoos, deep conditioners and styling products with uv protection.  These types of products will protect and condition in the summer heat and prevent it from looking damaged.

And don’t forget you want to go  to a color specialist: remember your hair is your best accessory. Don’t just let anybody in the salon do it.
