Good hair Wednesday: Naturals vs. Color f/master stylist Fawnne Smith

Self expression can be the light that your soul needs to shine. People feel like the very thing that makes them so special is their ability to share a little of themselves with the world. Some people use tattoos, others use piercings, in the natural hair community it is hair color!

@jd_winters shows us just how dope being a red head can be!

One of the biggest topic surrounding the natural hair community is color. Naturals wonder is this healthy for their hair, so many questions before they commit to taking that step. Well today I am happy to bring you an interview talking specifically about color with master stylist Fawnne Smith of Solan Noa in Virginia Beach, VA.

 

Q1. As a professional how do you feel about coloring natural hair?

I feel that it will enhance your hair, create volume, appear to give more length and dimension. It will take your natural hair to the next level.

 

Q2. Are there certain colors that should be avoided?

The lighter the color the more damaging the color can be to your hair.

 

Q3. What do you think is the number one contributing factor to the fear of color? 

THAT IT WILL BREAK YOUR HAIR OFF  which is not true, you must moisturize your hair to avoid it from being dry.

 

Q4 . Is it ever ok to use box color? 

No  Please do not use BOX COLOR  seek a professional.

 

Q5. Should you always consult a professional before coloring your hair?

YES.  You will need a consultation to see what color choice will look great with your skin complexion, eye color and what makeup choices will complement your new hair color.

 

Q6. What advice can you give about maintaining colored treated hair?

MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE AND MOISTURIZE

 use moisturizing products on a daily basis and cocktail (add) with styling products. Also add moisturizing treatments on a weekly or biweekly schedule or add it to your hair care regimen.

 

Q7. What brand(s) can you recommend for color?

Any professional brand will work great.  I prefer pure pigment colors, they will last longer.  At Salon Noa we use Pravana, Redken, Clairol, Ion,  and Goldwell.

 

Q8. Is color damaging to your hair?

Permanent Color is not damaging.  Lightner or Bleach can be damaging to the hair, softening your texture and also affecting your curl pattern.

 

Q9. How often should you color your hair?

As often as needed to change or enhance color choice but no earlier than every two weeks.

  

Q10. What final words of encouragement/advice can you give naturals out there struggling with whether or not they should color their & how to care for it afterwards.

Having color can be temporary or permanent but seek a professional to give you a healthy color service for great results.
