Hair coloring is a series of procedures applied to your existing hair according to the type of dye requested. The main hair coloring procedures include root touch-up coloring, full hair coloring, and coloring specific sections of the hair. Every coloring technique is unique to the individual. Hair coloring techniques may also vary depending on the person's skin tone, hair structure, and social environment.
Who Is Hair Coloring Suitable For?
Hair coloring can primarily be applied to anyone with healthy hair. General hair coloring techniques are suitable for people who have gray hair due to their hair structure and wish to cover it, those who want to change faded hair color caused by not using the correct post-coloring care products, and anyone who wants their hair to look more vibrant and shiny.
Hair Coloring Application Process
- First, the hair color, previous coloring history, and the overall health of the hair are analyzed.
- The color selection is made according to the hair's underlying tone and the person's skin tone.
- The selected color is recorded in the customer color tracking system to store previous coloring data.
- The coloring service is determined according to the customer's request and the hair structure. Accordingly, root coloring, full coloring, or partial coloring is started.
- Before the procedure begins, a protective cape and coloring protection area are prepared, and the hair is divided into sections according to its type before the dye application starts.
- After the dye application is completed, the processing time begins. The waiting time is carefully monitored according to the hair structure, color tone, and other details.
- Once the processing time is completed, the hair is washed, conditioned, and the final color result is checked. The hair coloring process is then completed.
Average Hair Coloring Duration and Preparation Before Your Appointment
Hair coloring generally takes between 45 and 120 minutes, depending on the hair structure, density, and coloring technique. Root touch-ups and color refreshing usually take less time, while full hair coloring naturally requires a longer appointment.
If you are visiting a different hair salon from the one that performed your previous coloring service, it is beneficial for your hair health to inform your hairstylist about all previous treatments. Hair coloring, bleaching, keratin treatments, perming, or straightening procedures should all be shared with your stylist before your appointment.
Hair Care Recommendations After Hair Coloring
After coloring your hair, we recommend using natural hair care products together with sulfate-free shampoo to preserve the vibrancy of your hair color. For example, hair dyed light blonde should not be combed while wet. Since blonde hair may become thinner due to the coloring process, extra care should be taken when combing.
Avoid washing your hair with excessively hot water, maintain daily and weekly moisturizing care, and one of the most common mistakes is failing to use a heat protectant before using heated styling tools. Using a heat protection product is highly recommended.
Factors Affecting Hair Coloring Prices
The factors affecting the price of hair coloring primarily include the coloring type (root touch-up, full coloring, or partial coloring), your hair density, hair length, the selected hair color, your current hair color depending on the desired shade, and any post-coloring hair care services. In general, we recommend scheduling an appointment for a professional hair analysis in order to receive the most accurate price quotation.
