Having been out in the sun and roots showing it was time to
pay colour supremo Daisy Twyman, at the legendary Daniel Galvin salon, a visit.
“We will keep the same root colour,” said Daisy “And then
take it through the ends for five minutes to refresh the ends. This way we will
tone down the warmth, and you will have plenty of tones running through your
hair, rather than a solid colour which looks fake.”
Also, if you are out for long periods of time in strong
sunlight, wear a hat. Hair that is dry tends to soak up moisture from the air
causing the hair shaft to swell making it go puffy. So use plenty of hair
masques. Louise Galvin’s range is worth checking out and is particularly good
if your locks are fine.
“You may also find that you have to tweak your natural base
colour at this time of year,” says Daisy. “Blondes tend to go blonder, while
warmer blondes may find that they need to use toners more often to keep their
hair looking good.”
Daisy also points out that brunettes may also go slightly
redder than normal Something you will definitely want to avoid, if you
have a lot of pink in your skin as it will make you look flushed as opposed to
having a healthy glow.
Her advice is to stick to neutral tones or something with
some cool in it to keep people guessing has
she or hasn’t she been in the hands of the colourist.
If you are thinking of having a dramatic change of hue,
Daisy says this is not the time of year to be experimenting as the colour fades
quicker in the summer. “It is not just the sun, but the chlorine in pools and
the salt in the sea which expedite the loss.”
Another tip from the colour wizard is not to use too many
heated appliances, as they also help strip the dye from the hair.
My hair was really soft and pretty, the signature of a
Daniel Galvin colour.
