How to choose a single process color treatment

If you're considering a single process color treatment, there are several things to keep in mind to ensure you choose the best option for you. First, think about your desired result. Do you want to cover gray hair, enhance or neutralize a tone, or change your overall look?

  • Grey Coverage - is typically done every 4-6 weeks. Uses a permanent color to deposit pigment into the hair to cover grays and add color back into the hair

  • Glossing / Toning - this service is typically done with a demi-permanent color. Results will last in the hair for up to 6 weeks depending on how well you maintain your color at home. Allows a slight level change in the hair that will gradually fade back out of the hair over time for a temporary change that will need to be maintained

  • Root Shadowing - This service can be done with either permanent or demi-permanent color. It is a great option for blending out old highlights or to create more depth in the root area while not making your color darker all over.

 

Finally, don't forget about maintenance. Be sure to ask your stylist how often you'll need to come in for touch-ups and whether there's anything you need to do at home to prolong the life of your color treatment. With these factors in mind, you can choose the best single process color treatment for you.
