The Truth About Hair Color: Four Things Your Hair Colorist Wants You to Know

  1. If a colorist is talented enough, he or she can achieve the color I want in one appointment: False

While your colorist may seem like a miracle worker, they cannot actually perform magic, which is what it would take to bring very dark hair to a very light blonde in one appointment without severely damaging your hair. Your stylist can work with you to make each appointment a significant step toward your desired color, while making sure your hair looks beautiful all along the way.

  1. Hair color will fade after several washes: True

If your new color is a little more vivid than you hoped, remember that it will tone down after a few washes. If you want to keep that vivid color, your hair colorist can supply you with products that will help achieve this.

  1. It is possible to avoid obvious signs of grow out: True

There are techniques and methods, such as balayage or a root smudge, that your hair colorist can do that will allow your hair to grow and the color to transition in a natural looking way.
