Limp Hair? Color It
Friday March 14, 2008
There are so many things I love about highlights, but I have to remind you of my favorite: If you have limp, blah, stringy hair, color it. There's something in bleach that changes the structure of hair and plumps it up. When my hair has grown out too long it feels flat, stringy and oily. Highlights magically transform them and I swear plumps up the strands. Today at the salon I told Antonio's assistant Meaghan this and she said, "Oh, everyone says that." I'm sure there's a scientific reason behind this, so if you know what it is, please weigh in.
Watch my stylist Antonio create a sophisticated ponytail, then check out his blog which is full of great hairstyling tips only a stylist of so many years could know. Which reminds me, I asked Antonio once why hair is so much fuller after coloring, and he had a great answer but I can't remember it. Note to self: Ask Antonio about this.

Hair is porous and absorbing the colorant does give the hair more texture, a slightly plumper texture. As a makeup artist, let me say also that hair color does affect - not change - your skin tone. It can bring out more natural glow and life to your skin when done in a flattering shade, or it can highlight sallow tones in skin and “wash out” the appearance of your skin when your color is missing the mark!
