Looking to extend the life of your hair color? It can be difficult if you're trying to hide grays. But, there is hope! Celebrity colorist George Papanikolas offers the following tips to keep hair color looking fresher, longer.
"Hair color can take years off your looks, but, the upkeep can be a bit expensive. With everyone watching their wallets these days, women are definitely stretching out the time between their hair color appointments,” says Papanikolas. “Clients often ask how they can extend the life of their color - here are my tips:
- Highlights - highlights have a 'softer' grow-out so you will not notice grays and roots as much. Try a few balayaged (hand painted) highlights around the face – this looks sun-kissed and natural.
- At-Home Color - ask your colorist about at-home hair color options. They can point you in the right direction in terms of which color and brand to choose. This will help you avoid any pricey emergency salon fixes.
- Protect Your Color - when you make the investment of professional hair color, protect it with a color-specific shampoo and conditioner. I recommend JOICO’s KPAK Color Therapy Shampoo & Conditioner. This will keep hair color vibrant between appointments.
- Go Natural - If you are comfortable with your grays, going closer to your natural color can reduce or even eliminate the cost of the color service. Embrace your natural self!"
So, use these tips from renowned celebrity colorist George Papanikolas and have a great hair day.
