Even if you haven’t yet been away over the summer, I’m sure
you have noticed that as
you go about your everyday life your hair changes colour in the
sun.
Just a slight difference in your hue can have an effect on
your complexion. One day my hair was fine and the next, it had too much yellow
coming through which didn’t exactly compliment my skin tone.
So, it was off to see the wonderful Daisy Twyman, at the
Daniel Galvin salon, whom I hadn’t seen for around seven weeks. That my hair
had lasted so long was a testament to her prowess.
How your hair will lift depends lots of factors including
the dye you are using and the natural colour underneath so a good colourist
will have to adjust your “prescription” on each visit.
Daisy also suggests, if you are spending time outside even in this country –
September can have plenty of sunny
days – to use a product such as Philip Kingsley Swimcap (£11.50,
Daniel Galvin). “This cream will help to protect against sun damage,” she said.
“Don’t just think of these things for holiday.”
Dependent which lighting you are in, your hair will also
appear a different colour.
Another fact to remember is that summer light is warmer than winter’s so that
is another key consideration when dying hair.
“Your hair needs to be cooler this time,” Daisy said. “We
will do the usual colour on the roots and then tone the rest with a shade that
will take down the yellow tones.”
Daisy diligently checked the toner every couple of minutes
to ensure that we got the right result. Then it was off to see stylist, Emma
Mitchell. As she started blow-drying, I could see my hair once again looked a
gorgeous rich hue.
At an event that I was attending a couple of hours later, a
lady whom I had not seen for a year, came up to me and said: “Your hair looks
amazing. It is darker than I remember, it suits you much better.
Well, I have the dream team, as I am now calling Daisy and
Emma, to thank for that!
