Get Your Warm Glow On

Think brunette is boring? Think again. Blondes can’t hog all the fun

Brunette is one of the most versatile colors of all. It has so many shades and nuances and it can easily go from warm to cool. Plus, it’s one of the easiest colors to maintain.

Whether you’re a natural brunette and you want to bring some radiance to your hair or you’re something other than a brown-haired bombshell (we won’t tell!), here are some ways to get your warm glow on and keep that color popping.

Get High, High, Highlights

With just a few strokes of balayage you can bring in so much dimension to your brunette color. You could go warm with all the warm tones of the sun like cinnamon, chestnut or caramel. You could go cool with ash, cacao or burgundy.

You could go for a full highlight, a partial highlight or all over color. Brunettes, it’s a great year to be you because 2021 is full of possibilities. Non-brunettes, maybe this is your year to experience the thousands shades of brown.

Get Your Glaze On

If you’re finding that your color is fading or going brassy too soon after your salon appointment, you can try out the miracles of glazes. Glazes are a non-permanent color treatment that can stop your color from fading and bring out that much desired shine and glow. Glazes can also reduce fly-aways and frizz and even prevent hair cuticles from tangling.

General ways to enhance your brunette beauty

·      Keeping that gorgeous glow is about more than just highlights and glazes. You can protect your color with a number of products, treatments and general hair care tips. Here are a few to keep in your hair care routine.

·      Check your products’ ingredients. You can look for the general catch-all “safe for color treated hair” but you may need to investigate your products even further. Just say no to sulfates, silicon and parabens.

·      Shampoo and condition with care. You may think you’re keeping your hair healthy and clean by washing every day but you could be stripping out the color and robbing your scalp of the oils it needs. Shampoo every few days or once a week depending on hair type and use a dry shampoo on the off days. And use the right conditioner for your hair type. We have the highest quality hair care products only available in our salon – and we can recommend the best products for your hair when you come in for a consult. 

·      Beat the heat. Blow dryers, hair straighteners and even hot water can be damaging to your hair and your color. Applying heat can make your hair more porous which makes it lose color faster. If you must use these types of styling tools, always apply a heat protectant.
