How many times have I had the dye from the supermarket in my hand in the last days and I have put it back on the shelf! Like many of you, I do not like to see myself with roots - in my case, gray hair - because it gives an aspect of neglect that does not help, precisely, to raise morale. But I have delayed the moment to the maximum because I had never dyed at home. What if it is very dark and I don't like it? Or even worse: how do I make sure that the dye will cover my gray hair well?
If you are one of those who are very clear about the tone to choose, congratulations! Because, fortunately, there are excellent dyes with natural ingredients, which do not contain ammonia or cause allergic reactions and can be found in the supermarket or pharmacies.
But if you are one of mine, one of those who are starting out in the world of coloring at home, I want to share with you what a great discovery has been for me. I have decided to pass the ball to another roof. In other words, trust, as I have always done, in the judgment of the experts.
In this sense, a few days ago I found out about the initiative being carried out by the Backstage BCN hairdressing and beauty center. And it is none other than sending an SOS Color Maintenance Kit at home to the home of the person concerned . Where is the advantage other than not having to travel? Here it comes when I got up from the chair in front of the computer and made them the wave: they offer you the possibility of receiving the personalized tone, the one that when you put it on and look in the mirror you recognize yourself perfectly and do not look like a distant cousin yours.
WHAT IS THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO DO
Send a photo of yourself in which you can perfectly see your hair color and in what phase your roots are in the daylight. Where? To the following WhatsApp number: 722 13 34 70.
AND WHAT WILL YOU GET
A kit consisting of a Color.Me dye from Kevin.Murphy in the most suitable shade for you and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. The guarantee is that it will have been chosen by the Backstage BCN team of color experts , after making a personalized diagnosis.
If the Kevin.Murphy brand is not familiar to you, I'll give you a little background. It is an iconic Australian brand in the world of professional hairdressing, paraben and sulfate free, offering exceptional permanent color with natural ingredients. I am a fan of the firm's products because of their texture and good results, and I am not the only one in CLARA! Does it sound like the dye is going to come out of one eye of your face? Well no, it will be cheaper than what a coloring service at the hairdresser would cost you. They ship once a week for the modest price of € 22. Depending on where you live, you will receive it in 24-48 h or a little longer, because shipments are made to all of Spain, including the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands.
And here comes the icing on the cake. If you are thinking that when you have it, you don't know how you are going to put it on, Meritxell Llos, from the Backstage BCN hairdressing team, teaches you step by step in a tutorial how to mix the product, what precautions you should take and how to apply it.
WHAT IF I WANT TO CHANGE THE COLOR?
If instead of covering roots or covering gray hair, you want to go one step further and find the ideal color , the one that would suit you best –and you have never dared to try–, you can contact the esalon online service.
- How does it work? You create your "Color Profile", explaining what color you would like to try, the color of your skin and eyes, if you have gray hair or not, etc., in addition to uploading a photo with your current look. From here, a team of colorists will assess the data and create an exclusive dye for you , which they will send to your home, with the application instructions. More information: esalon.es
So yes. Girls, suffer, what is fair and what is necessary. It is not that I have to go very far, but for a few days I have already "attended" video calls and I go to the supermarket without being tempted to put a mask on my head to cover my gray hair.
