People have coloured their hair, rouged their cheeks and painted their bodies all over the world for thousand's of years. While you may feel you're the first one ever to take the big plunge into a new hair colour, this couldn't be further from the truth.
What is the reason for this? Because colour is attractive, men and women have sought to attract each other since Adam and Eve. That's why I'd enjoy to see more people experimenting with colour. It's enjoyable. It's sexy, and it's risk-free.
The Victorian idea that self-decoration was somehow arrogant now belongs to the dark ages, and should be given the cold shoulder once and for all.
Colour shouldn't just be an instrument to cover up grey hair, it should be used inventively to improve your look and to make you feel good.
You may not like the astonishing pinks and purples of the early eighties, but I believe that the young people who have recently experimented with limelight colours have done us all a lot of good by shaking up the hairdressing business so that in the salons we've been forced to take a fresh look at colour.
You may not fancy a bright green or orange crop of hair, but you may well want a attractive rich auburn or chestnut shade - and it really is very easy to achieve these colours.
Many people would benefit very much from having colour added to their hair. It would enhance their cut or hair style and lift it out of the realms of the boring into something truly eye-catching.
Colour also lends warmth to the hair (particularly if you add a touch of red to the mixture) and various products give the hair extra shine. Even blonde hair, which tends not to glow as 'glossily' as dark or auburn hair, can be made to shine and sparkle.
Highlights help, but you can also use a hair spray which contains silicone so that once the light hits it the shine bounces back.
So act toward hair colouring light heartedly don't be frightened of it, lighten up your life and lives of folks around you.
