Perming (and hair styling in general) is a tricky thing – you usually understand that it might do some damage but you absolutely want to do it anyway.  It’s somewhat reminding of those scenes in cartoons or movies where you have a tiny angel on one shoulder and a similarly small devil on the other. The angel’s telling you about how you should care for your hair and make sure that you don’t regret perming it later on. The devil is the voice in you that wants to look as good as possible right now and thinks that everything else is secondary. If devil believes that perming can bring your hair appearance to perfection then nothing else matters for him right now.
In order to understand if you want to side with the white and fluffy angel or become devil’s advocate, you need to weigh all the pros and cons of perming hair. Well, consider yourself lucky because that’s exactly what the next several paragraphs will do for you. This means that after reading them, you will be equipped with all the essential info you need to make a cold-blooded decision.
Let’s start with the pros to keep the tension low for a while.
Now, that I got you excited about perming your hair, let me bring you back to earth a little bit.
My goal isn’t to convince you to get a perm and I also don’t mean to stop you from doing it. Actually, the goal is to make sure you know exactly what you’re doing when experimenting with your hair. You can read more articles like this but the final decision will still be up to you and I hope that this piece can help you with making this decision.
Even though the cons may sound bad, remember that nowadays there are different perming techniques and some of them are a lot less harmful than others, especially if done by professional hair stylists.
Do you have any pros or cons to add? Would you suggest perming as the best option for girls who are tired of having straight hair?
Your perfect hair hue isn’t a whim or a trend. The shade that’ll make your skin glow and your eyes sparkle is rooted in color theory, chemistry and science.
Switching up your hair color is never as simple as pointing at a model on the front of a hair dye box and proclaiming, “I want that!”
Either we’ve heard enough horror stories from friends, or worse, been the protagonist of our own, to know this.
In fact, it’s less about the hair color you like and more about what hair color your skin likes. The perfect hair color will not only complement your skintone and make your best facial features pop, it can also help you look years younger. Get it wrong and you could end up looking washed out, tired, unnatural and older!
This is a little known fact, even though 55 percent of women color their hair these days. It’s a big point of confusion for a lot of consumers when they’re coloring their hair.
The biggest rule of thumb is that your natural hair color is the shade range that you should stay within. Go too far outside of it and you’re likely to wind up with hair that is not only damaged and dull, but fake looking against your skintone. Why? Because though they may be completely different colors at first glance, your skin and natural hair color have the same underlying pigments.
When you change your hair color with permanent hair dye, it lifts the outer color and reveals the natural underlying pigments—or highlights—in the hair. So for the longest-lasting and most natural-looking color, think about the color that the sun turns your hair during mid-summer months. Those tones are what come naturally and what you should stick with when you dye your hair.
Hair color is measured in two ways: by the level and the shade. Color level runs on a scale of one to 10 with one being the darkest color, like jet-black and 10 being the lightest color, like platinum blonde. Within each of those levels are the color pigments—eumelanin (black-brown) and pheomelanin (red-brown), which control the shade of the hair. Dark hair (levels 1-4), contains many red pigments and blonde hair (levels 7-10) consists of mainly golden pigments. If your hair shade is somewhere in the middle (levels 5-6), you’re going to have more orange pigments, a combination of the red and yellow.
Your skintone also contains these underlying pigments. If you were born with black or brown hair, you will likely have warmer, earthy undertones in your skin like orange, brown, gold or orange-based red. If you were born with blonde hair, you probably have cooler skin undertones like blue, green, pink or blue-based red.
Those with warmer undertones in their skin will look better with a warmer hair color, like golden blondes or honey browns. Conversely, those with cooler undertones in their skin will look better with cooler hair colors, like ash blonde, black or auburn brown.
Generally the makeup you are using should already tell you if you are a warm- or cool-toned person. But if you are unsure, look at a vein in your arm under natural light. If it appears green, then you have warm tones, if it is blue then you have cool-toned skin.
The color of the eyes is another indicator. If your eyes are deep brown, black-brown, gray blue, dark blue or hazel with white, gray or blue flecks you look best with cool tones in your hair. However, if your eyes are golden brown, green, turquoise or hazel with gold or brown flecks you will look best with warm tones in your hair.
The age of the client lets you know how far from the natural-born hair color you should go because softer colors look better as we age. Yet, extremes (platinum blonde or black hair color) tend to bring out the imperfections and wrinkles in the skin, so save those for your younger years.
Be aware that your skintone changes as you age. Right before you turn gray, the hair gets a little darker. Your skin is preparing to lose pigment as you age. Then, when your hair turns gray, your skintone gets lighter.
What’s growing out of your head naturally today may be different than what you had when you were a teenager, so just remember to stay within two levels of lightness or darkness of your current natural color. That prevents mistakes from happening and keeps you looking the most natural.
But if you want something bold, you can always make extreme color changes more smoothly if you keep within the correct warm or cool tones. And if you don’t care if your hair color looks natural, have fun with it!
