Lighter
hair and warm weather go hand-in-hand. If you’re considering hopping on
this trend and lightening up for the summer months, here are a few tips
for beautiful andhealthy results.
Pick a natural hue.
It’s best to go with a color 2 or 3 shades lighter than your natural
hair color. Keep in mind that the lighter you go, the more noticeable
your roots will be. Make sure you have the time and money to invest in
the upkeep.
Don’t DIY! Find a colorist who can
educate you on what products will maintain healthy hair and preserve
your new color. You may even need more than one session to get your hair
to your desired shade.
Test the water with highlights,
they require less maintenance and are easier on hair. Add more and more
until you have an almost completely lightened head of hair.
Take hair care seriously!
Use masks and oils to keep your hair hydrated. Lastly, don’t get lost
on Google— find a shade for YOU, not just the one your favorite
celebrity is rocking!
