Are you dark?

Go to a salon for a risk-free radical transformation, and trust your hairdresser, they know what they're talking about! Colour-wise, they won't just pick ther first one that comes ot them either: "The ideal colour suits the client's skintone, haircut and wardrobe," says Jon, from Jean-Claude Biguine.
- Remember that if you go for a permanent colour, you'll have to wait for it to grow out to get back your natural colour, it won't fade over a few washes! Be sure before you take the plunge.
- You also have to be prepared to make a commitment to maintaining your new colour. As your roots grow, you'll need touch-ups every couple of months.

Cover grey hair:
How you cover grey hair, depends on how grey you are: - If less than 30% of your hair is grey, ie a few stray hairs spread over your head, they should blend in with highlights.
- Go for thicker streaks or lowlights if you have betwee 30% and 50% grey hair.
- If you are more than 50% grey, you will have to change your all-over hair colour permantently to cover them.

Are you Blonde:

- Highlights will give your hair more movement, but they are permanent, so will take two or three months to grow out, depending on how fast your hair grows (around 1.5cm a month).
- You could also go for lowlights, if you want to go a little darker as you add depth. This is a very natural effect, great for people who don't want to go too far from their original colour. Go for chocolate, golden, copper or honey tones.
- You can also give yourself natural highlights at home, with a lemon juice-based product, which won't change the hair's internal structure like permanent colour, or shampoo in a tint, which will wash out over 8 to 12 shampoos.
- Try a henna mask at home, for movement with a hint of red without the commitment of permanent colour. Try the Body Shop and Boots for henna colour, which is 100% natural and washes out over time. Be careful, if you are very blonde it will come out a dark red, and may take longer on wash out.
