Adding some colour to your hair can make all the difference to your overall personality. If you’re getting bored of seeing the same old you in the mirror, it’s possible that you may want to go in for something different.
If you are thinking of getting your hair coloured and are planning a visit to the salon, even before you tell your stylist which colour you are planning to go for, tell them a bit more about the following details.
You Have Used Henna Or Mehendi Earlier
A lot of people regularly apply henna at home because it adds a natural reddish tint to the hair. Not just that, many people feel that using henna on a regular basis can make your hair soft and silky, can improve the length of your hair, and also delay the appearance of greys.

Swagat Jagirdar is a stylist with BBlunt, one of the leading hair salons in India that style not only for regular people like us but also for our Bollywood celebs. He feels that it is important to tell your stylist if you use henna because that could have a massive impact on how well the colour will show up once you’ve applied it. In most cases, the colour does not show its truest shade if you have previously applied henna.
The Last Time You Coloured Your Hair
You may have done it six or even eight months back, but that too can leave behind some residue and have an impact on how much colour payoff you will get. Don’t forget to mention the last time you coloured your hair, whenever it was, suggests Swagat.
What Kind Of Colour You Have Previously Used
Do you know that once you use a home kit to colour your hair, some of the chemicals stay on your hair forever and add a layer on your hair that prevents any new hair colour to show up to its best shade? Do tell your stylist about this for sure, Swagat says.
Any Hair Care Products You Use
Yet another thing that Swagat feels a lot of us don’t give much importance to is the kind of products we use for our hair. According to Swagat, anything that you use for your hair other than the regular shampoo and conditioner should be mentioned.
If you want to best value for your money and want your hair colour to show up as per your expectation, make sure you have this talk with your stylist first.
