Why quality color is the real bargain for your hair, wallet, schedule, and the environment.

Is it possible to have healthy-low maintenance hair if you currently receive frequent chemical services? The answer is yes.

We like to think of low maintenance hair as a lifestyle: a “hair-ecosystem.” Putting in that extra dedication upfront makes it possible for low maintenance hair to really thrive. You’ll experience these benefits in many other areas including your wallet, schedule, Mother Earth, and—ultimately—a healthier you. 

To preface, begin with a stylist you trust who stays up to date on education— one who will do their best to deliver the best possible results without wasting your time, money, and compromising the health of your hair. The importance of quality hair maintenance must be stressed, especially when professional chemicals are involved. It can be a big leap to spend more time & money on a single hair appointment, and that is understandable. 

Heres Why It’s Important:

By committing to spend more money upfront you are allowing your stylist more time to do their very best while serving you. You’re giving your stylist the ability to stay up to date with new education, focus on your needs, and to choose naturally sourced brands/chemicals/products(more gentle on your hair/environment[supporting other small businesses]).  It may cost more upfront, but the results equal longevity. Knowing what you’re comfortable spending before scheduling and getting an estimate before your appointment can help avoid surprises. A stylist who believes in their work will be more than happy to explain their menu and create a plan that works from both of you or recommend a stylist who can.

By committing to a longer hair appointment your stylist is able to focus on safety and balancing methods that protect your hair. This additional time allows your stylist to concentrate on details that allow your hair to grow out more effortlessly. Your “roots” will not show as quickly, giving you more time between appointments creating less waste and chemicals going into the environment, more free time, more hair growth, more healthy hair, more longevity of color, and more satisfaction with your results. Focusing on the quality of your hair appointments rather than frequency gives your hair opportunity to grow and improve over time. At DHC we are all about growth, and not just with hair! What are you going to do with that time you could free off your calendar? A girl can use a few extra free Saturday’s am I right?

Pro Tip: For longer appointments bring a book or your favorite snack and refreshments as salons are not able to provide refreshments with current pandemic regulations.

Not only does your investment in your hair benefit YOU, but it benefits your stylist, too, and their ability to provide a higher level of service and healthier more natural products, as well as broadening their education to continue their growth. Their ability to provide you with the best all relies on your dedication to yourself.  If you have been enjoying our blog series or have questions/ideas to share we would love to hear your comments below or shoot us an email!
