The Houston Chronicle is doing a fun promotion for Prom this spring . . . letting it’s readers vote on the most deserving high school Prom attendee, who’ll get a free makeover, including the dress, hair style and makeover. The whole ball of wax.

It is sure to be a hit with the Houston prom aged girls. It got me thinking that this would be a great hai salon promotion this spring anywhere.

Prom hair styles are a big business and girls that age usually haven’t developed a loyalty to a specific salon by that age. So it is pretty easy far a stylist to get lots of new long-term, high spending clients.

If you know of a young hair stylist just out of beauty school, pass this tip along.

A recently posted question on getting back to your natural hair color

From my perspective you have 3 options:

1. Cut it short and let the color grow out, or bleach and tone.

2. Bleached highlights, as the hairdressers you mentioned suggested but which won’t match your white hair.

3. Bleach up and tone back with a semi-permanent color. (My choice)

Find a reputable hair colorist to do this and you’ll be happy with the results. They’ll bleach your hair up to a pale yellow hair color shade leaving your regrowth untouched.

hair colorist”

Then they can tone back all of the hair with a semi-permanent platinum shade. Bleaching is the only way to get the blonde hair color out of your hair. A semi-permanent tone back will fade in 6 to 12 weeks or more.

You may need to tone the regrowth to even out the color until the old bleached hair is cut out. As the toner fades, you’re left with your natural white hair. Since your hair is very healthy you shouldn’t have a problem going this route, unless you have extremely long hair. It’s more difficult to lift color out of long hair evenly.

Deep conditioning treatments would be good to do beforehand and afterwards. The young men you mentioned seeing on TV with white hair, no doubt had their hair bleached up and toned back to the hair color you’re seeing.
