Are you getting what you expecting????? How many times have you walked out of a salon feeling less than excited about your new color? Getting the vision in your head to show up, well, on your head can be a complicated process. Here are 6 foolproof steps to ensure you leave the salon with color you’ll love. First, consider your complexion and your eye color. “The human eye is naturally attracted to light colors,” Dark hair brings the focus to the skin, whereas lighter hair brings the focus to the hair. You want to find a balance and draw attention to your best features .To Cut or Color First? If you decide to do a cut and color on the same day, be sure to get the cut first. As a Colorist I believe the color should follow the cut so they can complement each other, “the hair color should accentuate the cut and should add movement to the overall finished appearance. Highlights and lowlights are the means to add depth and dimension.” Pick the Right Colorist. Your colorist should be able to discuss whether or not the look you are hoping for is suitable for you. If he or she is not willing to take the time to answer your questions and can’t give you a straight answer on what you can expect, move on. The key to a great color experience is choosing “someone you trust,” Communicate Like a Pro. When explaining what kind of look you want, think about your lifestyle. Are you more conservative or more creative? Are you looking for something more on the bold side or something more sophisticated? How often can you return to the salon for touch-ups? All of this information will help your colorist. It’s also a good idea to bring a picture to use as a reference so your colorist can see what look you are going for. Damage Control.What should you do if your hair is damaged? Give it a rest! A good colorist will advise you to let your hair heal before attempting to color it. Trust me, you’ll thank him or her later. Conditioning and strengthening treatments are a must to bring moisture and thickness back into the hair. And remember — no color is going to look great on split ends or broken strands. The Final Assessment. @ Eliegante Hair Design My team believes you can judge good color by whether it improves your confidence and ability to go out and be who you want to be. “It’s just like clothing,”. “When you wear a suit or evening gown you feel classy, so you act classy. When you’re in sweats around the house, you feel more relaxed and carefree. Your hair is the same way. It’s like a new outfit. It should always suit the person you are, or the person you want to become.” thank you all

Summer is here and the temperature is rising! Whether you’re planning to sun or swim, your hair is at increased risk for dryness and breakage…gasp! Thankfully, Eliegante Hair Design has come to the rescue!Going for a swim? Salt buildup can lead to dry, hard to manage hair, and chlorine can cause cuticle damage and split ends. That’s because the chemicals strip away sebum, a natural scalp lubricant. To prevent this, treat your mane before or after hitting the water. Elie suggests that prior to the pool or beach, wet your hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner. You can us a special shampoo from PAUL Mitchell will help restore shine and strip away chemicals. Fun in the sun? UVA and UVB Rays have the power to damage your hair, too! I says that signs of sun-damaged hair include brittleness and dryness, broken or split ends, frizz, faded color, and even weakened or thinning hair. I emphasizes the importance of protecting products that contain UVB absorbers, seal the hair shaft to prevent humidity, and moisturize with natural proteins and extracts (Try: Awapuhi Wild Ginger keratin treatment, or PhytoKarite Mask). These days, many Professional Products leave in conditioners, products for styling and hairsprays contain sunscreen – perfect for preventing fading or lightening of colored hair. Just think of it as a sun block for your locks.@ Eliegante we are all about the health and the shine of your hair ,we believe that the are no bad hair ,but poorly treated Hair ,Hair is precious living substance .

How to style Curly Hair Styling is essential here. Curly hair is most prone to frizzy ends, especially during the summer months. To prevent this, apply a curl controller cream From Mitch products Where Is Mitch | MITCH by Paul Mitchell to wet hair and run your fingers through it. While other 2012 hairstyles make great use of it, stay away from hardening gels with this particular hairstyle as they’ll solidify and make the curls look brittle.2011 may have given us a completely fresh decade, but it’s in 2012 that we truly get to explore it. If the last decade was all about buzz terms prefixed by man and metro, then 2012 is all about exploring a masculine edge. Sure it’s refined, but there have been only a few periods in recent history where true masculinity didn’t come with a polished edge. Thus we leave behind a period where men and boy bands alike head to a hairstylist for the latest chemical straightening technique and instead, for those of them with curly hair, can opt for something au natural. Natural, but no less stylish. And natural is, effectively, where the short and curly hairstyle sits in 2012. Entangled, interlocked, and messy, it’s a hairstyle that not only connotes a relaxed lifestyle but is itself relaxed. Visit us www.eliegante.com for all your hair needs.

Don’t confuse low with no maintenance. Gray can be glamorous but requires some upkeep, including extra attention to makeup and accessories.If you’ve been coloring your hair, it takes about a year to grow out grays. “Get lowlights with a shorter hairstyle to make the transition easier,” Gray strands can look dingy because they’re more coarse and porous, so use a gloss to boost shine and a violet-tinted shampoo to correct yellow tones and a big smile.
