Vibrant Hair Colour Tips
Here are some great tips for anyone considering a vibrant colour change;
Consultation is key: Begin by having a thorough consultation with the Alchemy & I team so they can understand your desired colour, your hair’s current condition, and any previous colour treatments. Discuss your expectations, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences to ensure you will get your desired outcome.
Hair Condition Evaluation – The health of your hair is important so the condition of your hair will be evaluated before any colour services are started. Vibrant colours often require pre-lightening, which can be damaging to the hair. Make sure the hair is in a suitable condition to withstand the colour process and provide necessary recommendations for hair care and maintenance.
Education – Your hairdresser will Inform you about the process and aftercare required for vibrant coloured hair. Explain the potential risks and benefits, as well as the maintenance needed to keep the colour looking vibrant and prevent premature fading.
Time and patience: Achieving vibrant colours may take multiple sessions, especially if you have darker hair or want a significant colour change. The process will be explained and realistic expectations set regarding the number of sessions required to achieve the desired result.
Post-colour care instructions: Your hairdresser will provide you with instructions for aftercare. They will recommend specific products designed for vibrant coloured hair. And discuss other issues such as the importance of avoiding excessive heat styling and prolonged sun exposure, which can cause colour fading.
Offer maintenance services: Consider accepting maintenance services, such as regular colour refreshes or toning appointments, to help you maintain the vibrancy of their hair colour over time. This can also be an opportunity to gain additional treatments for hair health and shine.
Recommend regular touch-ups: Vibrant colours tend to fade faster than traditional colours, so you may want to schedule regular touch-up appointments to maintain the vibrancy and keep their hair looking its best.

Once you know the colour that you want, bring some examples or images to the Alchemy & I salon at your consultation and the experienced team will go through the considerations above to ensure you get the best outcome for your hair.
