Hair Care
The Low-Maintenance Hair Color MakeoverWith a new baby to juggle and two-toned hair color, Total Beauty reader Colleen needed an update -- fast. See her transformation |
We all make sacrifices for various reasons, but the biggest one (as most moms will attest to) is the sacrifice made when you decide to bring a new life into the world. With that responsibility comes the giving up of time. Time to go to the gym, time to shower, time to apply lip gloss, time to eat dinner and, of course, time to have your hair color done and hair cut (among many other things). Because of this fact, many new moms end up with inches of obvious roots and so many split ends that cutting off the non-split strands would take less time.

This was definitely the case with Total Beauty reader Colleen. She had lots of highlights and about three inches of obvious growth. But, instead of going back in to have her sun-kissed hair color freshened up via foils, she decided she would go with a darker shade in hopes it would be less maintenance and more affordable. We were happy to help her out and hooked her up with Ricardo Rojas, eponymous owner of the New York City-located Ricardo Rojas Salon.
Together they came up with a gorgeous new hair color hue for Colleen that plays up her fair skin tone and really makes her blue eyes sparkle. See her speedy transformation and how you can copy it too.

Color and M/U look gorgeous now ... that color fades like crazy. Also, fair's with dark hair can sometimes look sallow, but with warm colors, she looks beautiful. Love the Wella hair color...salons only.

Brilliant !! Just went thru a similar process of updating my many-hued blonde-ness. The addition of a light auburn to the blonde coloring makes my blue eyes shine like they never did before. Thank you for this reaffirming article .. I'd been quite nervous on new color, but it's really an updated look.
