Seasonal Hair Color Changes

Seasonal Hair Color Changes

Hair color used to be something women used strictly to cover gray. This is no longer the case. Haircolor has truly become an accesory. If you want to make a statement with your looks, besides a bold haircut, a drastic haircolor change can be fun and exciting.

Obviously these are extreme changes and quite frankly are usually better left to those with unlimited time and funds. Some hair colors are better than others at different times of year. For example, going warmer or more chestnut brown in the fall can be very flattering. Blonde always brightens a girls spirits in the spring and summer.

Some hair color changes are subtle and some are truly just for shock value. The only issue you need to consider when going from blonde to brunette and back again is the structural integrity of the hair. Incredible platinum tresses might be the pefect shade for you after going dark again for awhile but if it doesn't stay on your head (ie if it all falls out) then it's not doing anyone any good.

One of the other questions about seasonal hair color changes is of course the maintenance. Can you afford the every four week retouch that would be required to keep the right color blonde? If money isn't the issue, consider the time as well. Two hours in the salon is going to be average for transforming dark brown to golden to light blonde.

I'm certainly not trying to be discouraging, I believe wholeheartedly in seasonal hair color changes, but I also believe in being practical and making a change that is going to be flattering rather than just different.

Be aware that from blonde to red, then back to blonde again can be the most technically difficult and may require lightening more than once or twice. Sometimes going in stages is a safer alternative for the health of hair and scalp. This being said, Ashley Simpson looks so much more alive as a redhead than as a blonde. I have nothing against blondes but her eyes truly stand out and even her skin tone looks more alive with this color. What a great difference!
