The keys to Meghan Markle's cool black hair
If you are thinking about darkening your hair, take note of everything Meghan Markle does to maintain it, take care of it and achieve that magnificent color. His dark hair is the most envied of the moment
Have you always lightened your hair color by two tones or have you worn highlights since you reached the age of majority? Despite that, surely you have ever been tempted to return to your tonality and stop worrying yourself, or it may be that when you see results as dazzling as the Meghans - Meghan Markel and Meghan Fox with the last name -, you are thinking very seriously about recover your original color and even intensify it.
If you get one of those outbursts to darken your hair, at least keep things clear. To begin with, you should know that black hardens the features, so if yours are already quite marked, we recommend that you think about it for a couple of days and consult it with your pillow and with a trusted friend before emptying the dye over your head.
Think of it this way: instead of remembering Snow White, you may end up looking like Morticia Addams ... Another thing: if you have little or very fine hair, it is not convenient to play it, because the scalp can be seen between the hair, creating the sensation bald or sparse hair.
And, finally, if you are very pale and on top of that you have crystalline blue eyes -you are lucky-, keep in mind that black will accentuate the nuclear white of your skin ... and it may give you a sickly air. If despite this, or precisely because you do not meet any of these characteristics, you want to go ahead with the coloring and do a DIY, we give you some guidelines that will help you achieve a good result.
Make the mixture of the permanent coloring product at home, before going to work, avoid suffering the “worker fresh from the coal mine” effect for the rest of the week. For this, you will only need to take the precaution of putting on, prior to applying the dye, moisturizer on the ears, forehead and temples.
As Carlos Olivera, founder of the Oliveras Hair Spa salons, recalls, this is the darkest pigment and, therefore, can be superimposed on any other. Now, one of the most horrifying effects of this color is that it tends to be artificial, at least when we do the coloring at home. How to avoid it? The specialist advises opting for a more cold shade: "And if it can be, not to choose a pure black, but a dark brown in order to remove the sensation of a wig, of false hair."
In any case, the first time it is better to put yourself in the hands of a professional and look for a good brand, if you decide to wear this color, since black, due to the type of pigment it carries, is very allergic, according to the stylist.
And if you have bleached hair, wait for it to grow back, because this process alters the structure of the fiber and you can end up wearing a reddish tone.
"On the other hand, it is a color that loses a lot, so it is important, between applications, to put a mask with natural pigments to refresh the tone, so that it does not look aged", suggests Oliveras.
Another of the unpleasant characteristics of the jet tone is that impression of matte hair that it leaves. “This is more of a repair issue, of having healthy and hydrated hair, which will look shiny. In any case, it must be remembered that black dye is the most damaging to the hair fiber.
It is the one that causes more hair loss and sensitivity on the scalp, since it usually contains lead salts or silver nitrate, whose components are toxic. On the other hand, we must also bear in mind that later, if we want to change the tone to lighter, it will be a long process, not just once, since this tone costs more to eliminate ”.
Well, things like this, we still have to rethink about going back to the origins ...
