In this article, I will be taking You through the entire process of coloring and silk pressing Sharifah's hair, as well as addressing some misconceptions about hair types. Let's dive in!
Meeting Sharifah - A Loyal Subscriber
It's always a special occasion when one of my subscribers pays me a visit at The Chateau salon. Sharifah made a journey from New York to Atlanta just to experience our services and get her hair colored and silk pressed for the first time in years. I was honored to have the opportunity to serve her and express my gratitude to all the subscribers who have shown support by visiting me. Sharifah's commitment and enthusiasm truly touched my heart.
Sharifah's Hair Journey
Sharifah has a beautiful kinky hair texture, belonging to type 4 hair category. She Mentioned that due to the recent pandemic, she hadn't been able to care for her hair as much as she would have liked. She had been embracing her natural hair but was ready to try something new. We discussed different hair color options and decided to go with a low maintenance burgundy shade. This would give her the Vibrance she desired without the need for frequent touch-ups.
The Chateau Salon Experience
At The Chateau salon, we strive to provide a luxurious and personalized experience to our clients. Before starting the color application process, we ensure that our clients feel comfortable and well-informed about the entire process. This includes discussing their hair type, porosity, and desired outcome. By understanding their unique needs, we can tailor our services to deliver the best results.
Understanding Sharifah's Hair Type and Porosity
When it comes to hair care, understanding the individual's hair type and porosity is crucial. Sharifah's hair type falls into the category of 4C, but it's important to note that hair health is not solely determined by curl pattern. Factors such as thickness, density, and porosity also play a significant role. We take all of this into consideration to provide personalized care recommendations.
Choosing the Right Hair Color for Sharifah
Considering Sharifah's desire for low maintenance hair color, we opted for a burgundy shade. This choice was Based on her hair's natural porosity, as well as her desire for a vibrant yet easy-to-manage look. By carefully selecting the right shade and formulation, we ensure that the color will fade naturally without requiring frequent touch-ups.
The Color Application Process
To achieve the desired burgundy color, we began by applying a root color using the Matrix 5RR shade and a 20 volume developer. We focused on saturating the roots thoroughly to Create an even base. For the rest of the hair, zones two and three, we used the Matrix 6RR shade with a 30 volume developer. This formulation ensured a rich and vibrant color from root to tip.
Maintaining Low Maintenance Hair Color
When it comes to preserving and maintaining low maintenance hair color, it's important to consider the specific needs of each individual. For Sharifah, we chose to skip the pre-lightening process and opted for a single process color application. To enhance the color's vibrance and provide added shine, we finished with a gloss using the TQ6RR shade. This not only created a beautiful sheen but also made the color fade-friendly, allowing Sharifah to experience various wearable and suitable tones as the color gradually fades.
The Importance of Trimming and Maintaining Healthy Ends
Trimming plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy, color-treated hair. For Sharifah, we took the time to carefully trim any split or damaged ends. Trimming not only promotes a neat and polished look but also helps to improve hair porosity. By removing damaged ends, we ensure that the hair can better retain moisture and nutrients, leading to overall hair health.
Debunking the Myth of 4C Hair Type
There is a common misconception surrounding 4C hair type and its limitations. It is essential to understand that all hair types, including 4C, can be healthy and beautiful with the right care. Focusing solely on curl Patterns can undermine the importance of factors like hair health, porosity, and overall maintenance. I encourage everyone to look beyond the stereotypes and embrace their unique hair journey, seeking professional guidance when needed.
Conclusion
Sharifah's experience at The Chateau was a success! Her hair transformation showcased the power of personalized care and a deep understanding of individual hair needs. Remember, it's not about conforming to a specific hair type or curl pattern; it's about embracing what makes your hair unique and caring for it accordingly.
