Q:  What is a common concern you face with hair coloring in the spring?
A:  In the spring and especially in the summer, many of my clients choose to brighten their color.  This usually requires more chemicals, so it is important to make sure that the hair is healthy.  Also, as the humidity rises, people tend to over blow-dry their hair which causes split ends and dryness.  Sun, heat and chlorine are harsh on the hair, especially color-processed hair. 

Q:  What are the special issues that arise with hair coloring?
A:  In general, color-treated and highlighted hair tends to be drier and duller.  Single color processing requires color to be applied to the roots.  The chemicals touch the scalp and can cause irritation and itchy scalp. All of this results in severe dryness, lack of shine, poor manageability and split ends.

Q: What about curly hair that is color-treated?
A: When people with curly, color-treated hair, use a flat-iron to straighten and de-frizz their hair, they may overwork the ends which will lead to more split ends and decreased shine.

Q:  With a client roster of celebrity clients with hair we all wish for, what are the secrets you can share?
A: First, in the salon, for immediate results, I recommend a 4 step process by Nigelle to moisturize and seal the hair. But, this lasts only for a couple of days.  Anything that protects and strengthens the hair, conditions the scalp, adds shine and enhances moisture on a long-term basis is obviously a better choice.  BeautyScoop is doctor-developed and clinically proven.  It works from within to give noticeable results.  This will leave hair healthier and with enhanced color.
