Salon hair color prepare for your appointment

Any salon professional, Hair Stylist, or Hair Colorist will tell you; the fewer variables they have to deal with the better the outcome will be. If a client comes in and their hair is completely unprepared for a hair color, the process can be longer and their is a smaller chance that the result will be as fabulous as it would otherwise be. It is smart to take a few extra steps to prepare for your appointment before stepping into the salon. Your salon professional will appreciate it and you're much more likely to love the outcome.

As importantly, stepping into a salon when you have not prepared your hair for a hair color treatment, keratin treatment, or any other process can be more costly. Good hairdressers will recognize the treatments a client needs to get their hair prepared. However, these additional steps will cost the hairdresser time and cost the client more money. To guarantee a better result for yourself, avoid additional costs of unexpected preparation treatments, and be courteous to your stylist; follow these few simple steps to properly prepare for the hair color treatment you've scheduled for yourself.

1. Avoid Hair Conditioner

In order to permanently color your hair, your hair colorist must penetrate your hair shaft to deposit color pigment. The process is a tricky one and usually involve ammonia which is a corrosive ingredient to open the cuticle. The easier it is to open your cuticle, the easier it will be to deposit the pigment and less damaging the process will be on your hair. A difficult to open cuticle may result in more damage to the structural integrity of the hair and a less permanent or rich result.

Many people don't realize that the purpose of their hair conditioner is to actually close the cuticle. A tightly closed cuticle will make the hair shaft more smooth and reflective and provide that healthy shine and silkier feeling. However, a tightly closed cuticle is quite counter productive to the hair color process. So, clients should abstain from using hair conditioner for at least 2 - 3 days prior to a hair color appointment. This will enable you to come in with a less tightly closed cuticle and make it easier for the color that your hair colorist has selected for you to open the cuticle and penetrate your hair shaft to deposit the color pigments.

2. Avoid Scalp Irritation
Your salon professional will do everything they can to ensure a great salon experience for you including making sure you are comfortable. No client wants to experience an irritated scalp during a hair color treatment that may only lead to heightened irritation during the treatment, blow drying, and styling process. It is a good idea to not scrub, scratch, or otherwise manipulate your scalp for 1 - 2 days before your hair color appointment. If you are experiencing any scalp irritation, you should notify your colorist before the treatment begins.  http://www.ultraimports.com.au/discount.php
