People often tend to describe hair in simple terms:
black, brown, blonde, and so on. However, it’s rarely actually that simple
thanks to underlying pigments.
Pigment molecules called melanin create the color of your
hair. Ultimately, the shade and tone of your hair depend on which types of
melanin you have and how much. Consider: two brunettes may both have brown
hair, but one may be a darker shade or have a warmer tone. The difference is
all about the pigments!
When stylists formulate hair color in
Westchester County, NY, to lighten your shade, they must take your
underlying pigments into account to achieve the results you want. For example,
if you’re a natural brunette with underlying warm tones and you want to dye
your hair cool blonde, the stylist will need to add blue and green base colors
to the formula to counteract those warm tones. Conversely, if you’re lightening
your naturally cool-toned hair, the formula will require red and orange for
counterbalance.
When you’re going from warm to warm or cool to cool, your
underlying pigments will help the hair color
process, so there’s no need to counteract the tone. Furthermore, if you’re
darkening your hair from its natural shade, there’s no concern about your
pigments affecting the formula. To learn more about how the process works, talk
to your stylist.
