Hair Color Los Angeles Trends, Lighter Ends and Blonding

I must confess I wasn't a fan at first.  All I could think of was "Oh my gosh, look at those roots."   But before this technique was practiced, polished and perfected, it truly looked like overgrown color rather than something that had a more subtle effect and appearance.  The idea is a beautiful sun kissed "natural wear" to color as if hair had lightened naturally over time on its own.  The right stylist with a talented hand a color genius mind can  help you achieve this result in no time.  Balayage (painted on strokes) is a great method to achieve this look and minimizes processing time necessary as well.

Depending on the desired effect, lightener can be left on for as little as 3-5 minutes for a very subtle effect, or even longer depending on the desired lift.  Consult with an expert colorist before just walking in and requesting this color service.  Touch-up every 6-8 weeks to keep a consistent effect and to prevent over-fading or lightening.
