Juuksevärvimised

Juuksevärvimised is the Estonian term for hair coloring. This practice involves altering the natural pigment of the hair using cosmetic products. The primary reasons for hair coloring include covering gray hair, enhancing natural hair color, or achieving a completely new shade. It can be a temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent change.

Temporary hair color washes out after one or two shampoos, while semi-permanent colors last for several washes, gradually fading. Permanent hair color involves a chemical process that alters the hair's natural melanin and requires root touch-ups as the hair grows out. Various techniques exist, such as all-over color, highlights, lowlights, balayage, and ombre, each offering a different visual effect.

The process typically involves applying a colorant to the hair, allowing it to develop for a specific time, and then rinsing it out. Professional salon services offer expertise in color selection, application, and maintenance, while at-home kits provide a more accessible option. Proper aftercare, including using color-safe shampoos and conditioners, is crucial to maintain the vibrancy and health of colored hair. Considerations before coloring include hair condition, potential allergies, and desired maintenance level.
