Best Hair Colouring Highlights near me in Méry-sur-Oise, Paris

The lifespan of your highlights will vary according to the type of highlights you get, how well you take care of them, and your hair’s natural color. Treat them right and they’ll last 6-8 weeks.

Yes, you can buy over-the-counter highlighting kits to color your hair at home. But, choose carefully: avoid products containing sulphates and silicone, and be aware that the shades shown on the packet may not be the tones you end up with. For best results, we suggest booking into a salon with a professional colorist.

Your highlights may start to dull after a couple of weeks, and by 4 weeks, you’ll probably begin to see your roots. To help maintain the shine and keep your hair in optimal condition, it’s recommended that you wash your it less frequently (1-3 times a week is enough); avoid products containing silicone, ammonia, and sulphates which dry and even break your hair; and protect your hair with a pre-wash treatment designed for colored hair. It’s a good idea to use a deeply nourishing hair conditioner, too, and avoid using heated styling products.

Yes, but the degree of damage tends to be dictated by the product used and the level of color change to your hair. A subtle shift in color will cause less damage than a more radical color change.

Try choosing highlights that complement your eye color and complexion. If you have blue eyes and fair skin, for example, cool platinum is a good match; if you have a warm complexion with hazel, grey, or green eyes, caramel and honey blondes look great; and if you have olive or dark skin with dark brown or vivid green eyes, coffee brown highlights or coppery red can add real intensity. If in doubt, ask your colorist – their experience will be invaluable in helping you decide.
