So, what is color correction hair in the first place? This is nothing but the process of correcting your existing hair color or its tone. There are many reasons why you may need one. Some hair colors, like blonde or platinum, are difficult to achieve without them going overly yellow or brassy after the color job. So, you need to resort to additional measures and that is when hair color correction comes into play. Another reason why you may need color correction is that your existing hair color has washed out and you want to extend the time between your salon appointments. Last but not least, you may just end up with a different than expected color as a result of a homemade color job.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The hair color correction process usually takes much longer than actually dying your hair. Depending on the desired result and many other factors, the transition process may last from a couple of weeks to several months. That is why you need to entrust this task to a hairstylist. Not only will they take into account your initial hair color but they will also assess the condition of your hair, its type, porosity, texture and even how permanent the color you already have is. Based on this, they will choose a suitable toner according to the hair color chart<\/a> and determine how long color correction hair will take.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Color Correction By Bleaching<\/h2>\r\n

<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n

For color correction hair is most often bleached, toned or dyed. Bleaching is your way out when your hair color has a brassy or yellowish undertone. This may be a result of a poor dye job or hair bleaching. Because our hair color is a combination of yellow, orange and red pigment, insufficiently bleached hair<\/a> may keep some of them in a greater amount than needed, resulting in a brassy yellow or orange hair color. So, you will need to repeat the procedure but this time, keep the bleach in for the required period of time. Though, not to damage your locks, it is very important to allow a break between bleaches. Also, aftercare should include a revitalizing mask to keep your locks healthy and shiny.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Color Correction With Toner<\/h2>\r\n

When it comes to toner color correction orange is one of the most common undesirable undertones to deal with. A toner will help you to make a blonde hair color cooler or a brown hair color lighter. Choosing the color of a toner, consider the shade of brassy you want to get rid of. Thus, for hair with a yellow undertone, employ a purple shampoo or toner. Orange tones are better removed with a blue tinted product.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Color Correction With Dye<\/h2>\r\n

If your hair is bleached or very light and you are unhappy with its color, then dyeing it is a perfect solution. In this way, you will be able to fix the current hair color without damaging your locks any further. During the first session, the colorist should put back the pigment into your hair so that the color you end up with comes out deep and pure. The second round of hair dye will add the desired color and make it deeper and more dimensional.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

A color correction is correcting any unwanted tones, some unevenness, a few patchy areas, and figuring out how to make it all blend. We need a whole game plan, which can often mean 2-3 appts.<\/p>\r\n

So, when you sit down wanting that pretty Pinterest hair, this is what we, hairstylists, can sometimes see. Breaking down each area always helps figure out where to start and communicating what is most important to fix is where I like to begin along with planning out future appointments and what to expect.<\/p>\r\n

Patience + trust with your stylist is so important when it comes to color corrections. Be honest about what your goals are and all previous color jobs done recently. This always ensures the best outcome!<\/p>\r\n

Here's her color breakdown.<\/p>\r\n

Her main goal was roots and brighter ends, but I knew we’d also have to concentrate on the midsection to blend that out.<\/p>\r\n

Talking out that this 1st appointment would be brighter ends and a better blended mid section was key and agreeing that appointment #2 would be bringing up the balayage to her roots.<\/p>\r\n

I don't like to take 5 hours doing corrections so breaking up appts is how I roll! Every stylist works differently, so be sure to work that all out!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
