Is a Drastic Hair Colour Change Right for You: Key Considerations to Keep in Mind Before Booking - Amore Hair Plymouth

Embarking on a journey to transform your hair colour can be an exciting and liberating experience. Whether you're going from blonde to brunette, brunette to redhead, or embracing a bold fashion colour, changing your hair colour can have a profound impact on your overall look and self-confidence. However, before you take the plunge into the world of vibrant hues or dramatic shifts, it's essential to consider a few key factors to ensure you make the right decision for both your hair and your lifestyle.

Hair Health: 

The first and foremost consideration before changing things up is the current health of your hair. If your hair is already damaged or prone to breakage, a drastic change might exacerbate these issues. Always book a consultation and strand test before making any decisions so your stylist can assess the condition of your hair and discuss whether your goals are achievable without severe damage. 

Compatibility: 

Secondly, not all hair colours complement every skin tone. Before choosing a drastic hair colour, evaluate whether it will enhance your natural features or clash with your complexion. Your stylist can provide valuable insights and recommendations based on your skin undertones, ensuring that the new hue harmonises with your overall appearance. Often, clients will find a photo of hair online they want to achieve but don’t consider the potential differences in appearance between themselves and the model in the picture. This doesn't diminish the usefulness of inspirational pictures; it's simply a factor worth considering.

Maintenance: 

Vivid and bold hair colours often require more maintenance than traditional shades. Consider the level of commitment you are willing to make in terms of regular salon visits, touch-ups, and specialised hair care products. Some colours may fade quickly, requiring more frequent attention to maintain their vibrancy. And you may need to consider what this looks like financially. For example, blondes may need returning appointments every 6-12 weeks. Whereas, Brunettes can have longer between visits and their spending is usually lower. 

Don’t let any of this stop you from changing up your style. These factors are simply just considerations before making a dramatic change. At Amore Hair, we’re all for big transformations but we will always recommend a consultation and strand test beforehand, to keep your hair’s health a priority.
