A lot of people have wondered what they would look like if they dyed their hair a different colour, and it is not hard to see why.
As anyone who has gone from a natural brunette to a striking bottle blonde (or vice-versa) can attest, dyeing your hair changes how your entire face is framed, and creates a very different first impression. This goes for double if you opt for a striking non-natural colour.
Regardless of whether you want a slight highlight, an accent for your natural look or a completely new style, here is what you need to know to help yourself prepare.
The Same Colour Is Not Always The Same
If you have a particular colour in mind, bear in mind that there are a lot of different ways to dye your hair that specific colour, each with a pretty different effect.
For example, dyeing your hair red could mean a slight ruby tint to otherwise hazelnut hair, strawberry blonde, ginger or literal bright electric red.
When you go to an appointment at a hair salon, bring some pictures with you of the hair colour you want, and a colour expert will be able to get you the style you want.
It May Not Last Forever, But It Lasts A While
Permanent hair dyes tend to last until your hair starts to grow out, so make sure you are happy with the colour you want, as it is much easier to touch up your roots than return your hair to its old shade.
It Will Not Always Be That Bright
Many people react with surprise once they see themselves with their new hair colour, but they can rest assured that it will fade slightly compared to its original look, although exactly how long it will take to do so will depend on your natural hair colour and hairstyle.
