How to Color your Hair

Veronica Delfino: Hi! I am Veronica with watchmojo.com and today Garnier tells us how to find a color that will look fabulous on you. How do you choose a color that will look great on you? Anne-Marie Boisvert: You actually choose it depending on what you want. For example, if you want to color just to cover your gray hair, you would go with for example the Nutrisse Cream. If you want to lighten it or if you want to darken it, it really depends what you are looking for. Really just choose a color that's not too far away from your natural color, so that it doesn't look weird or too extreme, and you should always go progressively. Veronica Delfino: How accurate are the color guides that you see in a box? Anne-Marie Boisvert: That really depends on your type of color. If your hair has a bit of cover in it or its more golden, this will depend also on how the color will effect. So you need to take that in account when you do it. Veronica Delfino: How do you maintain your color after you have got it? Anne-Marie Boisvert: You need to be using a color resist shampoo, so that it really protects your hair. For example, the Garnier one has a UV filter in it. So especially in the summer it really protects your hair and the color in it. So it doesn't fade out just after a week or two. Veronica Delfino: Do you think that anyone can use a box to dye their hair? Anne-Marie Boisvert: Anyone of course can use it. It really depends on what you are looking for, what's your budget. You should always do a test. If you have tried it already and you had a reaction to it, or you don't like it or something like this, of course then you shouldn't be using it anymore. Veronica Delfino: How many times should we dye our hair? Anne-Marie Boisvert: If you only have like your root to touchup, then you should only use a root touchup because the more you dye and re-dye your hair, that really damages the hair. Veronica Delfino: Is there anything that you should do to prepare your hair before you dye it? Anne-Marie Boisvert: You should wash them about 24 hours before, not just before because that it could itch a bit more, and also because when you wash your hair, you takeaway all this deep in a minute, and this is a natural protector for your hair. Veronica Delfino: What's your favorite item from Garnier for hair color? Anne-Marie Boisvert: I would go with the Nutrisse cream because it's really easy to put on. It's a cream, it nourishes the hair, it's enriched with avocado oil. So it really nourishes your hair, it's kind of a treatment at the same time. Veronica Delfino: Thank you. Anne-Marie Boisvert: Sure.
