Full disclosure: I have never colored my own hair. (Trying Glintz at sleepaway camp doesn’t count, does it?) Maybe I would if I had dark hair, or rather embraced my naturally less-blonde locks, but I firmly believe highlights should be left to the pros. Even if I was open to DIY hair color, the main deterrent would be a one-color result (because who wants their hair to scream single process). Fortunately for all you gals who take hair-color matters into your own hands, Vidal Sassoon has a fabulous new option…
Meet Salonist Permanent At-Home Colour, which is the first kit of its kind to treat roots and length separately (just like at the salon). Here’s how it works… First you brush the color mixture on to your roots (as you would any color). Then you mix the included serum into the remaining color to turn the mixture into a glaze that you smooth through the rest of your hair. This two-step process ensures your roots match the rest of your hair while preventing the brassiness that can occur when you color the length of your hair over and over again. And the formula delivers a variety of tones so you won’t look like a single-process victim.
This brand-new hair color innovation is available in 24 shades at you can find just about everywhere for $13.99. At that price, maybe I should consider coloring my hair myself…
