Terry Dunn -  Color Work

Thinking of Colouring your hair ?
The most important step is finding a salon who specialises in Color research the salon and their qualifications and work . Try to find out if you can speak to people who have been there before and then when you have exhausted all research and are content with your findings go ahead and book your appointment .

The most amazing thing about changing your hair color is,  if the service is done properly it can be the most beautiful confidence boosting asset that any salon can offer and any client can feel .

However going for a massive change can also be an extremely scary experience if you haven't researched and done your homework about the salon you are going to visit .
Colouring hair is now more an Art and the stylist who is about to carry out the work must be an artist of the highest degree
 .
When looking for a salon to complete this work I would advise everyone to go along for a consultation visit first , chat to your colorist and find out if she really does have what it takes to be honoured with this amazing opportunity .
If you are looking to be transformed into a beautiful butterfly or just to change your color slightly approach them both in the very same manner .

The knowledge and skills needed for todays colouring work is huge and this must be combined with patience, passion and an understanding of the Chemistry behind the process for it to be a huge success .

Most color technicians goals would be to get the color "on point" However mines ? To find the perfect balance between Happy Hair Happy Client Happy Scalp .
It is NOT abnormal for the client to feel mild to moderate irritation during color processes and great care is now taken by the manufacturers of many products to try to eliminate this completely BUT sadly skin conditions like Psoriasis & Eczema flare ups can add to an already tender process even certain times in the month for females can also determine if the service will be enjoyed or endured (that old chestnut again) lol 
For quite some time i been trying out products from different companies and giving reviews to help us all make life a little bit more comfortable for our clients . Up until NOW i been struggling to find 1 that eliminates ALL problems associated with the Scalp .
Sooooooo why is it painful ?
Color Services - Applying chemicals to the hair to break down the protein bonds which will gently raise the cuticle & allow color pigment to pass through into the hair shaft. Since color can break down hair, it can also start to break down skin,as both are made from Keratin .
The Answer ? 
SWEET"N"LOW - IT ACTUAL WORKS EVERY TIME
Cream of tartar, AKA potassium bitartrate, is one of the ingredients in Sweet'N Low.
It has a low pH buffer, while saccharin another main ingredient in it also has an acidic pH. Because of these properties, it is believed that the addition of artificial sweeteners helps neutralize some of the ammonia used in hair color and mitigate irritation."
With NO color loss or change to the color lift in the process. 

The secret is to add to your color and process as normal so far we have had a massive improvement in clients comfort and as yet the girls who normally have dry fake scalp after processing have stated its a complete success ........... lets hope its a winner with everyone . :-) 

I will keep you posted "SWEET"
