Why Hair Color Fades
Have you ever wondered what makes hair color fade so quickly and what can be done about it?
According to Candice Whitman, a Redken Certified Colorist at Elle & Elle Salon in Peoria, Illinois, hair color fades for two reasons: either the color didn’t penetrate the hair properly, or something allows it to escape.
LUXE BLONDE
When the sun comes out, or you’re contemplating your summer holiday, thoughts very quickly turn to hair color and one hair color in particular - blonde! In fact, there are so many shades and tones of blonde that there’s one to suit everyone, giving every skin tone and hair color the opportunity to lighten up. No one wants to have a brassy blonde or lightened hair that looks dull and tired.
“A recent trend with blondes has been the Luxe Blonde,“ says Editorial Director Tina Farey of Rush Hairdressing.

Elie Kashi, stylist and color expert at Royals Hair Castle Hill, Sydney, Australia is all about embracing the dark side.
Fall Color Scene
With the change in the season, so too is a shift in hair color. In a recent conversation ColorProof Education Director Erica Conan broke down what's on-trend for fall. Here's what this color expert had to say:
Surveying Haircolor
Are you a better blonde than a brunette? Is red really right for you? We surveyed 50 women who have proudly sported color from both ends of the spectrum and asked how they were treated by others and, more importantly, how they felt wearing each color. Some of the answers were surprising. Here are some of the top responses.
Fun-Loving Hues
For years we‘ve all heard the adage, blondes have more fun. Visions of light-haired beauties dance in our heads, frolicking in the sun, flirting with everyone in sight, and catching the eye of others, seemingly without effort.
Keep Your Color Longer
Anyone who has had salon color done knows that it is a major (but oh so worth it) investment. To protect everything that you put into your hair, color safe aftercare products are highly recommended. According to color expert Tawny Pierce, director of education for ENJOY Professional Hair Care, using sulfate-free and pH balanced products are a must to keep salon color fresh.
