To Color or Not to Color

With Summer comes the desire to lighten and brighten.  Many of us want to try new and exciting colors, but may feel a little apprehensive about taking the leap.  Here are some tips of Do's and Don'ts when it comes to color.

Don't try this at home.  Make an appointment with your stylist or have he/she to recommend someone that specializes in heavenly hues!  When trying color for the first time, it's best to leave it to the specialist - that's what they're trained to do.

Do try it in steps.  If you can't or won't make a full commitment to an all over color, try highlights.  This is a sure way to test the waters to see if the color works for you with a glimmer of shimmer.

Don't be afraid to try color with hair pieces, wigs, or extensions. 

Do get the right shade for your skin tone and personality.  Just because it looks good on the girl in the magazine doesn't mean it will be fitting for you.  This is where a stylist/colorist works out well.
