A little less than a year ago I entered a drawing at a new salon for a day of beauty. I won and I received a haircut, style and color using Davines hair color (lowlights). My fashion stylist then recommended Davines conditoner and line of professional hair care products..

It was the first time I had my hair professionally colored so I really didn’t know what to expect. I live in Florida and am in the sun often so I expected the color to really fade at the three month mark.

That Davines Illuminating Cream Conditioner with tomato extract was so amazing. Just using it in the shower was such a treat because it smells so great. My hair was super soft and shiny as well and it really brought out the color and added serious shine. These attributes I expected because that it what my stylist said it would do.

What was really amazing though was that every three months when I went back to have my hair trimmed the stylist was really happy with how the color was lasting. She knew the Davines line of hair products were great but it was a surprise even for her.

If you get your hair colored I encourage you to buy the Davines conditioner if you want to extend the life of the color.

Coarse textured hair has more cuticle layers. This type of hair is more resistant to coloring. Coloring on any type of hair can damage it if the wrong level of peroxide is used or you are over-processing your hair.

If you constantly change your color you must regularly use deep conditioning treatments. Over-processing is the main reason if your colored hair looks dull.

One of the most important elements of hair coloring is determining your hairs’ underlying pigment. When you combine underlying color and artificial color in the right way you get the desired result.

How to Test Hair Color
You should always test for allergic reaction on your skin. Here is how:

• Place a small amount of the color on your skin.

• Wait 20 minutes.

• If there is allergic reaction, do not use the color.

Test the product on a few strands
