For us, having brown hair means less time and money spent on upkeep, highlights, roots and general styling. But, lets's find out the real details.
The best way for the blonde to transition deeper and darker for fall is the addition of lowlights, deeper blonde shades, or shades closer to her natural tone alongside the blonde pieces and gradually shift to brown. This process is safer and more natural. (Marco Pelusi)
Why do women want to go darker in the fall? It's always best to follow the seasons: allow your hair color to reflect the seasonal changes. Similar to how our food and drink shifts to warmer beverages, comfort foods, pumpkin spice, and other flavors, women can also reflect the seasonal change to go warmer, more profound, darker, and richer with hair coloring. Even one shade deeper for brunettes.
Is it possible to go from blonde to brown? Is it a long process? Yes possible for sure! The best way for the blonde to transition deeper and darker for fall is the addition of lowlights, deeper blonde shades, or shades closer to her natural tone alongside the blonde pieces and gradually shift to brown. This process is safer and more natural.
What are some advantages brunette shades offer? Often my celeb actress and model clients notice - and photographers - that the women's eyes truly pop out in photos when they wear brunette shades. Not so much with the blonde shade. Blondes can sometimes give a 'washed-out' look. Brunettes can give more vibrancy, especially to the ey
Is it true that darker shades make a face look slimmer? Not necessarily - need to discuss - but it almost depends on the woman and her skin tone and facial features.... case by case...
Does darker hair give off a healthier shine plus an added aura of mystique? YES, YES, YES. It almost doesn't matter how badly your lighter hair has been damaged or looks badly dry -- going darker will automatically make the hair appear healthier and add shine—almost every single time.
Is brunette less maintenance overall? Not necessarily. It depends on the individual. Sometimes, being a brunette can mean that a woman may see her gray roots appear quicker, so she will need to go to the hairdresser more often to cover her grays. Blonde can sometimes help mask this gray hair. So there is some ease in being lighter if you have gray hair. But on the flip side, being brunette is typically much easier on the hair's condition, so the brunette hair may not be as dry. Most important: always use HairCare products that support color-treated hair, such as Marco Collagen Color Guard HairCare.
If you want to go brown but are somewhat hesitant, do you suggest adding highlights? If you're blonde and you're considering going brunette but are uncertain, I recommend starting by adding some lowlights. This will give you an idea of what your hair will look darker and will be more of a gradual change, which is much easier for you and your hair.
Should the client bring in a photo? However, one must be realistic. The color will not match the photo perfectly, correct? Yes, photos can serve as a GUIDE. Only as a GUIDE. Photos are a good idea, so it gives some direction to head towards, but the color will always be different from the photo because it's a different head of hair. But photos are good guidelines and talking points.
Is brunette hair still sexy? Absolutely! Brunette's hair is rich and shiny, and lustrous!
