Hair Color Correction – Warm To Cool Tones And Vice Versa

Quite often it happens that our hair dyes fail to give an even distribution of color across the head. Therefore, patches of uneven color distribution become noticeable. Also, sometimes our hair naturally develops some pigments that do not give a natural look of the color no more. For example, at times blondes develop a tint of yellow, whereas brunettes develop an orangish shade. It also happens at time that gray hair starts showing with time and in order to evenly put all these colors and give a unique appearance, we need color correction.

It can be used to darken a light shade of hair or lighten a darker shade in hair. It works both ways. Take an example of brassy blonde hair shade, which can be turned into something ashy. However, for lightening a dark shade of hair color, we may need more than one sitting.

This process of color correction can be expanded over weeks but it all depends on how long it takes to fix your hair or to create the look that you desire. There are some factors on which the time period depends as in hair type, hair texture, hair porosity, the condition of your hair, the permanency of your current hair color, and the choice of toner to be used.
