Q: What's the best way to change from blonde to brown?
A:
Big changes in hair colour can make big changes in the way you look and feel, so the best approach is a gradual one. If you want to move from honey blonde to chocolate brown for example, we recommend you darken your colour by two shades every two weeks until you get your dream result.
Q: How can I add a little sparkle to natural looking hair?
A:
A shimmering red tone can really liven up your natural deep shade or consider scattering fine highlights through lighter hair to add a little depth and interest.
Q: Which colors best suit my fair complexion?
A:
Your light, pale skin looks fantastic with cooler hair colours that compliment your natural pink, grey or blue skin tones. If you have a tendency to blush, ash tones effectively neutralise any pinkness in the skin. The trick is to avoid gold, yellow, red and bronze tones, which may to make you look sallow and drawn. Ash blondes, dark cherry and mahogany shades work in perfect combination with fair skin.
Q: Which colors best suit my dark complexion?
A: Warm shades of hair colour look fabulous on women with darker tanned skin tones. You should avoid blue, violet, white, and jet-black hair colours that drain you of your natural colour.
Q: My hair is practically all grey, are there colors I can use?
A: Select one of Schwarzkopf's colour products that have been specially formulated to cover 100% of grey hair. There is an incredible range of choice, depending on whether you want to blend your grey or go for a totally new shade.
Q: Is there a way to blend in my grey root re-growth?
A: For grey and greying hair we recommend our Root Retoucher or the Diadem Root-Set but if you want to achieve natural looking colour with no roots then avoid an all over tint. Choosing a well selected variety of tone-on-tone highlights will make re-growth much less obvious.
