Red Hair Styles In Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate
Red red red!! Red is such a popular request in our salon. I personally LOVE red hair!! It is however one of thee hardest colors to get IN the hair & the hardest color to get 100% OUT of the hair. I know, that kind of sounded like a double negative so I'll explain.
So hair types just don't take well to the color red. Very damaged hair also has a hard time taking to red & the color washes out very quickly due to the porosity on the hair follicle. Now even though its' hard to get in the hair, it's equally as hard to get out of the hair. You will find when you are lifting the color out you're struggling to get the pink out of the hair. Most times you have to use a higher volume developer when lifting or your stuck doing a double process bleach. Which we all know isn't the best for our locks.
For example, meet my client Heather. Heather was a dirty brown color when she came into the salon. She asked me be a candy apple red for Valentines Day. So looking at her hair color then & where she wanted to be, I immediately knew I had to lift some of the color out of her hair so she could get the vibrancy she was looking for. I preformed a Soap cap on her & then proceeded to do a straight up R on her. Let it sit for the 20 minutes. Washed it out. It ALL CAME OUT. NO RED. Why? Because her hair is pretty porous due to the flip flopping between colors so often. Therefore the color wouldn't stay. It was on to process #2 with a higher deposit, & boom it was perfect!!
The vibrancy was AMAZING. Heather loved it, and couldn't get enough of how fabulous she was going to look on Valentines Day with her hunny =]
Meet my best friend & hair client Kim! Kim LOVES red hair color & always tells me her hair doesn't hold red. So initially I didn't listed to her and said I could do it! lol
I used a 6RR with a high volume and a red kicker. Went to wash it off and it was an off brownish color in the sink. Initially I was not happy so I went in the back and took some Redken RED Shades over it & let it sit for 15 minutes. Dried it up & man was it a pretty red!!
I put some red highlights on the top of her hair too. Those didn't come out as red as I had anticipated, but overall she was stunned!! I saw Kim about 4 weeks later and most of the red had washed out like she said it would. I think we are going to do a redo & try to seal it with another product to prolong the lifeline of the red in her hair.
Meet one of my longest clients & friends, Sara! I've been dong Sara's hair for about 5 years now & she has always been a flip flopper. EVERYTIME she comes in she wants to change it up! Which is great for me cause I get to try new things & she's on cloud nine when she leaves the salon.
I went away on Vacation & Sara went somewhere else for a color & cut. Which btw who ever did it did a fantastic hair cut on her <3 <3
But her hair color was far too brown for Sara & She wanted to get rid of the copper & go red. Sara goes red all the time, this is nothing new for her or her hair.
Try #1. I brought Sara in, colored her base color a level 4 & bleached the ends of her hair to a light blonde to deposit a red on top and make it look balayage. - FAIL - Not even the base color changed!!! And then when I washed the red out it barely stained her hair. - FAIL-
Try #2 I went a bit deeper with her base color & tried again on her ends. -FAIL- Ends didn't take. Her hair was so stressed & what ever color that was used prior just wouldn't give.
Try #3 All over color. Wash it out. Bleached the ends. Washed it out. Dried it up. Permanent color over the end blended up. = Perfection.
The vibrancy and the placement of the red is just beautiful! I know it took up some trial & errors with her hair not cooperating, but sometimes that happens. A lot of the time we have clients come in with pictures of Guy Tangs work and think that the style in the photo can be done in 2 hours or one sitting. Not knowing how your hair is going to take to the color has a lot to do with the outcome. Sometimes you have to have a few sittings to get the perfect color you want or you can sit in the salon for 12 hours. Sara's service took all together with trial & error 9 hours.
Having realistic expectations and having a serious detailed conversation with your stylist is VERY important. Make sure you both are on the same page & remember to be open minded. <3 <3
