How to Pick the Perfect At-Home Hair Color

Spring is the perfect time of year to add some color to your wardrobe – and to your tresses, too. With summer weather and activities just around the corner, dying your hair now will ensure that your look lasts long into next season (in fact, coloring hair in summertime is actually one big no-no; salt water and chlorine from the pool are known to suck new color right out of your strands, so dying your hair before summer strikes is truly your best bet). Whether you desire an au naturel shade or something a bit more daring, there’s hundreds of hair color options out there to choose from. So how do you decide which hue is perfect for you? First of all: there’s no expensive trip to the salon required – with the right tips and technique, it’s much easier than you think to choose a hair color and dye your locks at home (and it’s also much more affordable). Watch below as hair color designer AJ Lordet shows us just how simple it is to pick your pigment and achieve fresh, beautiful color in the comfort of your own home.
