COLOURING CURLY HAIR

Mixing up hair colour can be super fun, but it can also be super stressful - especially for those with natural curls. The potential for damage is always a scary prospect, however, with this blog we hope to alleviate some of your fears! 

Truth: Curly hair has a drier texture 

Truth: Curly hair requires more TLC

Lie: Curly hair should not be coloured 

Ultimate Truth: Curly hair should be cut + coloured by individuals who are comfortable and knowledgeable about working with natural curls.

Psssssst…. This is why Salon Society has our designated Curl Specialists! 

Stylists who are educated and experienced working with curls are capable of using colour and lightener to create gorgeous colours with a natural curly canvas. The key to success is the same as any hair service: absolute truth and transparency during the consultation process!! Knowing a client’s hair history guides our planning, our actions, and ultimately the results. We need to know if you have henna in your hair or if you got a full head and then covered it up with black box dye -- consultations are a zero judgement space and we need the truth to safely colour your curls.

Additionally, aftercare is so So SO important for all hair - but especially naturally curly hair. The shampoo, conditioner, mask, etc that your stylist tells you to use only help if used!! If you are concerned about aftercare or the commitment, ask your Curl Specialist and they’ll give it to you straight! 

When looking for colour inspiration we highly recommend looking up inspo photos of coloured curly hair. Find your celebrity hair crush and check out all their looks. We love it all - soft subtle changes to big bright colours. And of course, if you aren't sure what you want but know you're down for a change, book in for a consultation so we can chat and come up with an idea together!
