Come to the Dark Side This Fall

You know fall is coming not only by the weather changing, but by everything pumpkin-spice flavored, flannel/vests combos, and annual trips to pumpkin farms. Another tell-tale sign that fall is coming is hair colors transitioning to darker hues- a personal favorite of ours at Salon James! Thinking of going dark for the fall and winter months? Here’s a professional opinion of why you should!

The Benefits

There are a few benefits of going dark as the months grow colder. During the summer, all that time spent outside soaking up the sun is unfortunately damaging to our hair. Whether it’s dried out or frizzy, giving our hair some R&R is always a good idea. By going dark, you give your hair a whole new look, and have the opportunity to revamp your hair’s health. Dark-colored hair will look a lot healthier in regards to volume, richness, and shine. You’ll have a new edge with your depth and dimension that you may not have had before. The upkeep of your roots will also no longer be a problem, which gives your hair a break from dyeing and upkeep with the lighter colors. It’ll be a refreshing break for your locks, leaving them to shimmer in all your cute fall photos.

Maintenance Tips

The best practice for starting out is never straying more than two shades darker than the color you currently have. We have several services at Salon James to help you relax and get the best hair treatment out there. Once you’re happy with the shade of your color, it’s important to set up a routine for your hair care to help keep the color for as long as possible. You’ll need to cleanse your hair with a moisturizing shampoo to remove build up, and then start implementing a shampoo with the desired pigment fused in to help with the color upkeep. Try washing your hair once or twice a week to help with the color fading.

At Salon James, you can come to us with whatever color you want for your hair, and we’ll have you leaving with exactly what you envisioned. For more information on our services and how we can help you look and feel your best, you can visit our website or give us a call at (225)-636-2220 today!
