Tips to maintain gorgeous hair

1. HOW TO TALK TO YOUR HAIRSTYLIST BEFORE GETTING HAIR COLOR If you’re someone who’s been gazing at others’ gorgeous hair color or highlights, and wondering if you could rock that shade as well as they do, it’s time to take a step ahead and meet a good head dresser. Make your appointment at Toni&Guy India and prepare to get your life (and hair color) changed. SHOW AND TELL 1 Even though you may paint a mental picture of caramel and mocha balayage in your mind, it is better to bring some pictures. You can find a lot of hair inspiration online and even on Toni&Guy India website. You can also show different pictures and tell your stylist exactly what you want. For example, if you like the color of the highlights in one picture, and base color in another picture, tell them about it. They’ll understand what you are trying to say. BE REALISTIC 2 You know your hair length, texture, and condition better than anyone else. Talk to your hair stylist about your hair concerns, how much time you can dedicate in taking care of your colored hair and other factors. This will help your stylist decide what’s doable and what isn’t. Therefore, make sure you discuss these details with your stylist. WORK WITH YOUR SKIN 3 Your complexion has everything to do with the hair colors that will look best on you, and those that won’t. Lighter skin tones can carry rich chocolate brown or sandy beige hair very well. To make it easy for your hair stylist to assess your skin tone, avoid going with make-up for your hair stylist’s appointment. HAIR CONDITION 4 Even though modern hair colors contain so many conditioning and nourishing ingredients, it’s still a chemical treatment. This could alter your hair structure while you change the shade. So if your hair is starting out damaged, there’s only one way to go and that’s more damaged. If your stylist suggests conditioning treatments or adding one of the new bond-strengthening systems to your service, do as they say. CREATEDBYTONI&GUYNORTHINDIA

2. HOW TO REPAIR AND FIX YOUR DAMAGED HAIR? AVOID USING TOO MUCH HEAT ON YOUR HAIR For many of you, curling iron, flat iron and blow dryers are magic wands 5 that transform your ordinary or unruly hair into luscious waves and curls or voluminous, blown-out goodness. However, this heat can cause damage such as dryness, brittleness and flyaways. TAKE CARE OF WET HAIR 6 When your hair is wet, it is at its most vulnerable state, which makes it extremely prone to damage. If your wet hair is fine, curly or fragile, it can further aggravate damage. Avoid pulling a brush through your wet hair, unless it’s a brush specifically designed for the task. It is better to use a wide-tooth comb to detangle. Avoid vigorous rubbing, and gently blot your hair with a fluffy towel after coming out from the shower. GET A GOOD HAIR MASK 7 Hair masks are essential for conditioning your hair. They contain high concentration of moisturizing ingredients like vitamins, oils and naturally-sourced elements.They’re also thicker than regular conditioners, so when you apply them to damp hair, they stay put. GET PROFESSIONAL TREATMENTS Sometimes, your hair may need expert care to treat damage. 8 Professional, in-salon treatments available at Toni&Guy North India target any type of hair damage – from strands that are over-processed or weak, to hair that needs an infusion of moisture.
