Going Darker?

Hey Y’all,

We are in the midst of winter, which means it’s time for darker tones and lots of warmth! In my previous blog posts, I have talked a lot about the process and steps it takes to go lighter, and just the same, going darker is just as much of a process.

When you lighten your hair, you remove your natural pigment, so in order to get to a natural brunette, you must put the pigment back. These pigments have the underlying colors of red, orange, and yellow tones. It sounds a little scary but if you don’t put these pigments back, the result will be muddy and grainy color.

When you go darker with pre-lightened hair, the cuticle is already lifted so you may loose your color quicker then you expect. Each time I take my hair darker, the fading process is my favorite because it brings warmth and a natural sun kissed glow to my face. And who doesn’t want this in the dead of winter?

If you are wondering about going darker and embracing your winter glow, the first step is to contact me for an appointment. One important step I recommend is coming in every 6-8 weeks for a gloss if you take the leap towards darker hair, so we can maintain fading. We can talk about what the process looks like for you and any extra steps that need to be taken in the future.

Love, Paige Noelle

Hair Trend Alert

Hey Y’all,

You may have noticed and/or even participated in the recurring hair trend that happens every year when the cold seasons roll around. Yep, I'm talking about how we take our hair a few shades darker as the days get shorter and the sunshine stays hidden longer. Well I want to let you in on the real trend that has been happening this past fall and upcoming winter season. It is called “Root Beer Hair” and it has been seen all over the runway and on celebrities such as Sarah Hyland, Olivia Munn and even Beyoncé.

This look involves a warm, dark brown base. The warm tones are a warm red, and these
keep you glowing even after a long winter. Following the rich-colored base, highlights and lowlights are added. If you have pre-existing blonde, warmth can be added or your hair can be toned down to create a beautiful sandy light brown color. You can also bayalage in a small amount of light brown to bring dimension back into to warm brown hair.

With my help, we can work with your skin and eyes to find your perfect root beer hair that will keep your hair glowing into the New Year and through 2018.
