Even though we love our weather (especially in the winter months), our harsh Tampa sun can cause haircolor to fade and locks to loose their luster in a jiffy.
Tired of spending a fortune on color treatments at the salon but were afraid to go it alone at home? There are some new products on the market that make it easy to get the results you want at a fraction of the price you would pay at the salon. Here are a few D-I-Y products to try:
For Overall Color -- Try L'Oreal Paris Sublime Mousse for mess free color. Simply massage in the foam hair color like shampoo. (Approximately $10 at drugstores.)
To Fight Fading -- Find your color fades quicker than expected? Try Natural Instincts Vibrant with Week 2 Color Refresher. ($9 for color and refresher at most drugstores.)
For Root Touch Ups -- TouchBack is an easy to use dye marker that covers grays quickly and lasts till your next shower. ($30 at touchbackgray.com.)
To Brighten Your Blonde -- With just a spritz of John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray, and a little heat, your blonde with look lighter and brighter. No caps, foil or stinky peroxide involved! ($10 at drugstores.)
To Add Shine -- Garnier Herba-Shine Simply Shine Clear Gloss Treatment works on color treated and non-color treated hair to add sparkle and shine. ($8 at drugstores.)
Just because you chose to try a treatment at home doesn't mean you don't have to fire your hairdresser. On the contrary, most beauty experts will tell you that even if you are doing it yourself you should consider having a professional color your hair every so often. This will help to keep hair healthy and the color natural looking. Just don't try to fool your hairdresser by claiming you haven't done anything -- and be open with him or her as to what you are using at home. If not, you may wind up with some not so fabulous results.
