Explore Hair Color Shades for Different Looks

Hair colour is available in a wide variety of shades, allowing you to choose something that complements your natural appearance or creates a completely different style.

Popular colour choices include:

• Natural Black
• Black
• Dark Brown
• Medium Brown
• Light Brown
• Natural Brown
• Burgundy
• Red
• Blonde
• Ash Shades
• Fashion Colours

Many professional hair colour ranges use colour codes to identify specific shades. Checking the colour name and code on the product packaging can help you choose a shade more accurately, especially when purchasing online.

Permanent Hair Color

Permanent hair colour is designed to provide longer-lasting colour and is commonly used when covering grey hair or making a significant colour change. Permanent formulations work differently from temporary or semi-permanent colours and are generally selected when longer-lasting results are desired.

At Watsans.lk, you can find permanent hair colour options from recognised brands such as Keune, Wella, Bigen, and Revlon, subject to product availability.

When selecting a permanent hair colour, consider:

• Your current hair colour
• The desired final shade
• Existing colour on your hair
• Amount of grey hair
• Hair condition
• The manufacturer's instructions
• Whether a developer is required

For professional colouring products, always follow the specific instructions supplied with the colour.

Choosing the Right Hair Color

Selecting the right shade is not only about choosing a colour you like. Your current hair colour, previous treatments, and desired result can all affect how the final shade appears.

For Grey Hair Coverage

Natural black and brown shades are popular choices for covering grey hair. Products specifically designed for grey coverage may provide more suitable results depending on the formulation.

For a Natural Look

Natural black, dark brown, and medium brown shades can provide subtle changes while maintaining a familiar appearance.

For a Lighter Appearance

If you want to move significantly lighter than your current hair colour, additional steps such as lightening may be required. The result can depend on your starting colour and previous colouring history.

For a New Fashion Shade

Burgundy, red, blonde, and other fashion-oriented shades can provide a more noticeable transformation. The final result may vary depending on your existing hair colour.

For Regular Root Touch-Ups

If you regularly colour your hair, choosing the same brand and colour code can make future purchases easier and help maintain consistency.

Understanding Hair Color Codes

Hair colour codes are used by many professional and retail hair colour brands to identify specific shades. A colour code can provide more precise information than the colour name alone.

For example, a product may be identified using a number such as 3N, 4N, or another brand-specific code. However, colour coding systems can differ between brands.

When buying hair colour online, check:

1. The brand name.
2. The shade name.
3. The colour code.
4. The product image.
5. The product description.
6. Whether the product is permanent, semi-permanent, or another type.
7. Any developer or mixing requirements.

If you have previously used a particular shade and want a similar result, keeping a record of the brand and colour code can make it easier to select the same product again.

How to Choose Hair Color Online

Buying hair colour online is convenient, but checking a few details before ordering can help you choose more confidently.

Check Your Current Hair Colour

Your starting hair colour can affect the final result. A shade shown on packaging may appear differently depending on your existing hair colour.

Check the Shade Code

If you have a preferred colour, use the shade code in addition to the colour name when searching for the product.

Consider Previous Colour Treatments

Previously coloured or chemically treated hair may react differently to a new colour. Consider your hair history before selecting a new shade.

Check Whether a Developer Is Required

Some hair colour products include the required components, while professional colour systems may require a separate compatible developer.

Read the Product Instructions

Always check the instructions before applying hair colour, particularly when using professional colouring products.

Hair Color and Hair Condition

Colouring can change the appearance of your hair, but the condition of the hair is also important. Hair that has already been bleached, chemically treated, or exposed to frequent heat styling may require additional care.

After colouring, consider using suitable:

• Colour-care shampoo
• Hair conditioner
• Hair masks
• Leave-in treatments
• Hair oils
• Heat protection products

A suitable post-colour hair care routine can help maintain softness, shine, and manageability.

Hair Color vs Hair Building Fibres

Hair colour and hair-building fibres serve different purposes.

Hair colour changes or enhances the colour of the hair and can be used for purposes such as grey coverage or creating a new shade.

Hair-building fibres, such as Dexe or Toppik, are cosmetic products designed to make thinning-looking areas appear fuller. They do not permanently colour the hair.

Understanding the difference can help you select the right product for your particular requirement.

How to Use Hair Color Safely

Always follow the instructions supplied with your selected hair colour product. The application process can differ between brands and formulations.

Before colouring:

1. Read the complete product instructions.

2. Perform the recommended allergy or sensitivity test.

3. Check the required development time.

4. Confirm whether a developer is required.

5. Follow the correct mixing ratio if applicable.

6. Protect clothing and surrounding surfaces.

7. Avoid contact with the eyes.

8. Do not exceed the recommended processing time.

9. Rinse thoroughly according to the instructions.

10. Follow up with the recommended conditioning treatment.

If you are making a significant colour change or are unsure about the process, consider consulting a qualified hair professional.
