Hair is by far one of our greatest assets, but it is also one of our most noticeable attributes. For this reason, we need to take extra care over how we treat and look after our hair, which
is why you should think twice before colouring your hair at home. Investing in the right
products and professional hairstyling services like those offered by Strut Hair and Beauty hairdressers on the Sunshine Coast is well worth it when it comes to caring for your luscious
locks.
Hair colouring, in particular, poses extra risks and potential for harm. While it can be tempting to try cheap colouring hair kits at home, it is wise to always use a highly trained hair colourist for your hair.
Some of the problems that can arise when colouring your hair at home include:
Table of Contents
1. Dangerous chemicals
Hair colouring kits incorporate a multitude of chemicals and the box usually comes with
warning instructions for good reason. It is often advised that you do a skin patch test before
using them and take particular care around your eyes. It is much safer to use the services of
a trained hair professional who knows how to safely apply hair colour. Home hair colouring kits often come with old technology and innovation that has been super seeded in the professional hairdressing arena. This has an impact on hair quality and ability to create changes in the future.
2. Making a mess
Hair salons are set up for hair colouring with the appropriate equipment including gloves,
capes, sinks, mirrors, chairs and washable flooring. The aftermath of using a home hair
colouring kit can be quite disastrous if you accidentally splash the colour on your own
benchtops, sinks, showers, flooring or even clothing. Hair colour solutions will quickly stain
any surface they come into contact with, particularly if you have marble or porous tiles.
3. Avoid disappointment!
An experienced hair colourist has access to a wide range of potential colours and can
customise them uniquely for your hair and skin tone. They also have expert knowledge on
how to apply foils, cover grey hair and create certain fashionable looks like balayage, Ombre or even the most creative Rainbow Hair techniques. Home
hair kits, however, offer only a limited number of “off the shelf” colours which may or may not
suit you and leave you feeling disappointed.
4. Hair treatments
Home hair colouring kits usually include a single tube of conditioning treatment for use
afterwards, but hair can often feel dry and frizzy just a few days later. Hair salons, on the
other hand, have a wide range of high-quality hair treatments and conditioning solutions they
have trialled and approved. Strut Hair and Beauty prides itself on using hair products from
Australia’s leading brands such as Keune, Fabuloso and Guava, which leave your hair healthy, vibrant and easy to manage.
Professional hairstyling services are definitely worth the money and time. You will always feel like a million dollars after spending a relaxing morning or afternoon being pampered at Strut Hair & Beauty salon.
