COLOR IT ONE MORE TIME

Hair-Coloring

Sounds confusing? I know. While it sounds counter-intuitive, this will be effective, especially if a lot of your hair is still dyed. This is a crucial step since the coloring will enhance the natural look of the new growth. This means that there will be a seemingly natural-looking transition in between your natural hair color and your dyed ends.

TRY THE OMBRE LOOK

Have you tried that ombre look just yet? This is another way you can use to get your natural hair color back. And should I say it is very easy to achieve with a low budget and it is very easy to maintain. This will brighten up your hair and make it more comfortable while transitioning to natural hair. Regular haircuts can help level the shade, and if you want the look gone, you can have lowlights shade done on the highlights every 6-12 weeks. The shade should be close to that of your natural hair color. Ensure you do the lowlight shade until the highlights disappear.

INVESTING IN TOP QUALITY HAIR CARE PRODUCTS

Hair-Products

While you work to move back to your natural look, another option is investing in top-quality hair care products. This can enhance the speed at which you get your natural look back while also maintaining your hair’s health and keeping it smooth and silky. Some would not like lighter highlights along the way as they transition to their black color, but products such as color deposit shampoo and conditioner may help. Other products such as hair dryers and wide-tooth comb will help out with the latter helping out to detangle hair and reduce any form of hair breakage.

It is also essential to note your type of hair so that the products you buy match it. Different hair care products are manufactured for other hair types, so what is right for your friend may not be suitable for you. Additionally, as you shop for the products, the most expensive of them does not necessarily imply that it is the best or top-quality.

HAIR TRIMMING


Note that this is not destroying your hair. The longer it is with hair, the longer it takes to get that desired look/color. Some regular hair trimming visits will come in handy to help achieve that natural look. Ensure that the trim happens on the dyed sections. This will speed up your natural hair look process, and another major tip is that having shorter hair is easily manageable. While at it, a variety of short hairstyles you can rock are there to choose from.

LET YOUR HAIR GROW

This is in contrast with those mentioned above, and as you would imagine, this route to achieve a natural hair look will take more time. While you may realize an ‘ugly’ line of difference (line of demarcation) between your dyed hair and the newly grown hair, this is another way you can get your natural hair look if done right.

Some patience will be required to work, especially while waiting for the hair to grow by some inches. You might have to wait for 2-3 months to have your hair grow to the desired length. Only after this point will your stylist understand your natural hair color.

After this, your stylist will recommend you to have a ‘tint back’ to a shade closely resembling your natural hair color. This might seem like a simple process, but it isn’t, and that’s why you need professional assistance here.

The process will see a filler applied to help replace the missing pigments required for your natural hair to look successful. Hair filling will see an even hair tone achieved while preventing you from achieving muddy hair.

DYE YOUR HAIR

Dying-Hair

This is more of a quick fix and by far the easiest method to achieve your natural look back. Instead of going through processes such as letting your hair grow, haircuts or hair trimming, and more, you can alternatively dye your hair to its natural hue.

The hack here is that as the dye grows out, the new growth will be matching up the natural color, and no line of demarcation is noticeable.

A quick one; It is always important to know your exact natural hue so that you do not mess with a different dye.

USE OF ROOT CONCEALERS

This is more of a temporary solution, but root concealers are useful in the process of switching back to your natural hair. You might opt to conceal your roots in different shades.

Red, brown, and dark tone shades are some that you can try. These root concealers will include products such as creams, sticks, powders, and sprays to ensure no damage is done to your hair.

HEAD TO THE PROFESSIONALS

Hair-Dresser

While you can carry most of the processes at home, you might still need to head to a professional stylist for assistance on how to go back to natural hair color without damage.

Aside from the hair mentioned above filling on your new growth, you may need to seek professional help depending on the intensity of your hair lighting, hair’s health, and porosity.

To achieve that perfect hair tone, it may take more time, and regular appointments may help in these cases.

RECAP

Here are some of the dos and don’ts you need to keep in mind while you head to your natural hair look;

DO’S

  • Deeply moisturize your hair and use shampoo (preferably color deposit)
  • Detangle your hair patiently to ensure no breakages or damage is done – This can also be made easier by applying a rinse-out conditioner and using a wide-tooth comb
  • Understand your hair type to maximize the use of the hair care products you opt for
  • Seek professional advice and help if you are not sure

DON’TS

  • Damage your line of demarcation – Where your natural hair meets the dyed or bleached hair
  • Use too much heat on your hair – This can result in dryness of your hair and thinning that might eventually cause damage to your hair by breakages
  • Only go for expensive hair care products – Expensive doesn’t always mean top-quality

QUICK POPULAR PROCESSES

BLONDE TO DARK COLOR SWITCH

Blonde-To-Dark

How fast you switch from blonde to a dark natural hair color will depend on how long you have rocked the platinum blonde look. If it has been long, it’s not advisable to automatically go to black or brown. 

The transition should be slower and systematic as you apply low lighting to your hair. Once the transition is complete, going back to platinum blonde may lead to serious hair damage, which we want to avoid.

DARK COLOR TO LIGHTER COLOR SWITCH

Dark-To-Light-Color

This is another popular switch, and this comes out as more challenging than the switch mentioned above. The transition from a dark color will see you bleach bath your mane, and for that lighter hue natural hair color, you will be required to use a toner to match it.

And with this, a professional stylist will be required. This is not any other simple process. It might take some time to get your extreme light natural hair color, and you might have to settle for a less light version. A further compliment of regular trims will come in handy to correct the damaged ends caused by bleaching.

TO SUM IT UP!

A good plan is all it takes for an excellent natural hair look switch. Know your hair type, what method you need for the transition, and know when to get professional help for a successful transition. Your patience will also be put on a test and while you wait for your complete natural hair look switch, ensure your diet is rich in minerals that will enhance hair growth while at the same time maintain its health.

And ladies, remember the most beautiful makeup any lady can use is your natural beauty and that natural hair!

    and amusing, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the
    head. The problem is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently
    about. Now i’m very happy I found this in my

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.
    However imagine if you added some great images or video
    clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this website could undeniably be one of the best in its niche.

    Terrific blog!

    I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s lovely price enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
