5 Things Your Colourist Wants You to Know

From rainbow dyes to smoked peach strands, colourful hair is everywhere right now - and, if you’re thinking about taking the plunge, the best way to do it is always in a salon. No one will be able to take your hair from blonde to mermaid blue like a pro colourist, but before you book up, here’s your pre-appointment need-to-know…

2. Pinterest is your friend

Reaching your perfect hair hue is as important to us as it is to you. Saying you want pink hair is fine, but visuals are key if you have a specific shade in mind. That’s why it’s always best to put in a little bit of research, and Pinterest is brimming with inspiration – as is the @WellaHair Instagram.

5. Aftercare is key

Specialist shampoos for coloured hair exist for a good reason: they are the colour insurance you need to maintain your look in its optimum condition. Ask your colourist which products are best suited to you to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Share your enviable colour creations with us on Instagram. Follow @WellaHair and tag #WellaHair #StylistsDoItBetter – the best ones could be chosen for a feature across our channels.
