Hair dye colors - What does your hair color say about you

Hair colors certainly create initial impressions, and hair dye colors can change that impression.


Brown

Brunettes are undoubtedly perceived as the responsible type. Brown itself is not a staid color, it is the even tone which tends to run with it.

To make brown hair far more interesting you should have lowlights, as they add a whole new dimension to the impression created.


Blond

Blonde hair immediately attracts the human eye, as it is drawn to lighter shades, and is associated with the sexy look. However blondes can also find it more difficult to be taken seriously.

Blonde hair can require higher maintenance than other colors.


Red

Red is the most popular hair dye color and accounts for only about 4% of the population are naturally red heads. The perception is one of being strong, opinionated and sexy. Conversley with pale lashes, freckles and an orange tinge, the perception becomes one of a homely person.

Red is the hardest color for the hair to absorb and can quickly fade giving a washed out look, it is also a good idea to apply highlights or lowlights to the hair to emphasise the color, which can look very flat.


Black

Tough, mysterious and exotic are common initial impressions.

To wear black hair well, it is essential you have great skin, as black hair focuses attention to blemishes. (see here for some tips)

Highlights in a strong color, or a blue black prevent the dullness which can appear in black hair color. It is also very useful to apply a shiner to the hair.

I thought it may be good to look at the process of hair dye colors and how it works.

75% of American women color their hair, with red as the most requested color.

Men's home hair color sales have increased by 50% over the past 5 years.

Most hair dye colors can be applied easily. Depending on the product, this may be to wet or dry hair or applied like a shampoo followed by rinsing and conditioning.

There are three main types of hair coloring.

Semi Permanent color is generally used for adding color to hair, rather than changing the color of the hair. The dye contains color molecules, which enter the hair outer layer and cortex. They do not react with the natural pigments and generally wash out of the hair after 6 to 12 shampoos and the hair is the same color as it was prior to application.


Demi-Permanent color Molecules penetrate the cuticle and cortex then react with other color molecules, creating a larger molecule which takes longer to wash out, about 24 - 26 shampoos. The product does not contain ammonia, so the hair cannot be lightened, but generally does contain peroxide, which enhances color.


Permanent color is the coloring process, which will afford the greatest change in hair color. These dyes use both ammonia and peroxide. Molecules enter the cortex and react with the hair and cannot be washed out, hair has to grow out. The product lightens the hair, forming a new color base, then the color dye reacts with the new base, to create the desired color. Because the hair's natural pigment is lightened, it means the final effect will be a combination of your natural pigment and the new color, it means the final color will vary slightly between one person and another. Roots do grow back and touch up is generally required every 4 to 6 weeks. Hair can be lightened or darkened. Lightening hair always requires a bleaching process, which is strips color out of the hair.

There is a fourth group of hair dyes, which are the bright unnatural colors, (which I use in my own hair). These vary in strength and generally require the bleaching of hair prior to application, to achieve the desired effect, a far more aggressive color stripping process, than from the three mainstream groups.
