Can I get my natural hair color back? How long do I need to wait?

Michelle Asks about Natural Hair Color:

“

I dyed my hair a light copper brown and got some blonde highlights. I highly dislike the hair color choice because I wanted a darker brown hair color rather than what I actually had done. I was wondering if there is any possible way I can get my natural hair color back which is a medium brown, and how long should I wait to get it dyed to my natural hair color?

,,

Have you dyed your hair and are unhappy with the results? When it comes to corrective hair coloring, each case is unique, because no two hair genetics are exactly alike. In Michelle’s case she will be doing a tint-back which is an easier process than correcting a hair color that is too dark, but still tricky. These questions need to be answered: Do you have regrowth (roots) showing?

“Getting Back To Your Natural Hair Color”

  • Yes? Then the roots will need to be treated separately from the rest of your hair. It helps for a hair colorist to see about an inch of regrowth in order to match that as closely as possible. Seeing that you want the hair color darker, the hair colorist would use a formula that will work best for tinting back the hair color that exists now. It takes some know-how to get this right, not only in the formula, but also in the application. You could do a lot more damage by trying to correct this yourself. The condition of your hair can only be assessed by someone taking a look at it. My guess is it can withstand a hair color back at this point.
  • No? Then you may be able to get help by calling the company hotline on the back of the box of hair color you bought. They will ask you a number of questions regarding your hair history and it’s present state. They will advise you on the best route to take from the information you give them. Don’t do anything unless you are clear that the information you gave them was correct.

    Hair Loss Treatment Interferes With Olympics

    Hair loss treatment of champions and Olympians? . . . Proscar

    According to Tim Reynolds, A.P. sportswriter, Zack Lund, Americas top skeleton racer, will be allowed to compete in next month’s Turin Olympics. Lund was banned from two World Cup races after failing a drug test in November. Monday, however, the U.S. Anti-Doping agency came to the decision that a public warning was sufficient in Lunds case. He could have been suspended and unable to attend the Turin Olympics. The drug in question is the hair loss treatment Proscar, which Lund was using for the purpose of hair restoration or a hair loss treatment.

    “

    		 Lund tested positive for Finasteride, a banned substance often used as a steroid-masking agent, at a competition in NHair Loss Treatment Almost a Calamityovember and was barred from the past two World Cup races. Lund said the positive result stemmed from his use of a hair loss treatment product.Lund has taken hair loss treatment products since 1999 and has always declared them on his medical forms that get filled out before competition. He is no longer taking Proscar, the pill he was using at the time of the positive drug test, and is even avoiding multivitamins and other over-the-counter products, just to be safe.“I have learned my lesson,” Lund said. “If this was God’s way of telling me that he wants me to go bald, I get the message.”

    ,,

    If you’ve read any of my past posts with regards to hair loss treatments, you know I don’t carry much faith in their restorative powers. Hair care product manufacturers have been selling their magic potions, or bottles of hope, at huge costs to the public, with no definitive results. I believe in the genius of man, and that most probably a pill will contain the magic to end hair loss someday . . . BUT. . . when that day comes, it will be a celebrated moment. It will be shouted from every media source available and not be a drug that is sold as having a potential to reduce hair loss. My advice save your money, and most certainly if you are in a job that might require a drug test someday.

    Hat tip to the Louisville The Courier-Journal for this neat article with celebrity hair stylist tips.

    Celebrity hair stylists share their strategies

    By Christine Fellingham

    Style Matters columnist

    Special to The Courier-Journal

    You rarely spot one-namers such as Angelina, Demi or Jessica looking anything but chic — but that’s not just because they’re geneticalSpill some of their best insider celebrity hair stylist insights forly gifted. It’s also because they’ve got a slew of celebrity hair stylists at their beck and call.

    If you or I could have a big-name celebrity hair stylist running from designer showroom to designer showroom orchestrating our outfits, we’d probably look paparazzi-ready too.

    But why shouldn’t we mere mortals have some of the same fashionable guidance that overpaid celebrities get? After all, we may need it more.

    So I called all my favorite celeb image handlers and asked them to spill some of their best insider celebrity hair stylist insights. Here are six of their great tips to help focus and update your look in the new year.

    GET A BIG HAT

    The fashionistas of the world are following our lead and pulling out the hats for big occasions.

    “I love the drama of a hat,” says celebrity hair stylist Phillip Bloch, who styles Jada Pinkett Smith, Salma Hayek and Sandra Bullock and is a fashion expert for E! Channel.

    “They finish an outfit, they frame your face and they’re having a moment in fashion,” Bloch says. “You can wear them for events and parties, but I love them with jeans and a long sweater or a fitted coat.

    “Right now, the bigger the better.”

    TRADE YOUR BRONZER FOR BLUSH

    “The bronzed look is just about done,” says Michelle Burke, the makeup artist for “Elizabethtown” and the upcoming “Mission: Impossible III.”

    “Everyone is doing it — and not very well. They tend to look either too sparkly and fake or too brown and flat.”

    Burke’s pick for the new year?

    “Not pink, but apricot,” she says. “I use sheer peach on lighter skin and a deeper, more ambery tone on darker skin. But it adds this fabulous ping of color to your face. Just smile and dust it on the apple of your cheeks. It gives you this great healthy flush.”

    BUY A HEADBAND

    What’s over for the new year?

    “Those big hair clamps,” says Enzo Angileri, the celebrity hair stylist who jets around perfecting Charlize Theron’s locks.

    “They were OK when they were just tortoise color. Now you see women with their hair up in these gigantic purple clamps that match their outfits — it’s awful.”

    Instead, he says that we — like Charlize — should tame our tresses with headbands.

    “I don’t like the schoolgirl kind,” he says, “but a skinny black ribbon or simple grosgrain or a clear Plexiglas style looks very clean and modern. I love them whether your hair is down or short or long or even in a ponytail. It works whether you’re dressed up or not.”
