10 facts about color bomb for hair

-

Jun 1, 2020

A color bomb for the hair, or color ball as some say, has become incredibly popular and is super good for keeping the hair color nice between colors.

However, there are some questions and misunderstandings about these so I have now summarized 10 necessary facts that are important to know for you who use / want to use these color bombs :)

10 facts about color bomb for hair:

A color bomb is not a hair color

A color bomb for the hair is not a hair color, but a hair wrap with pigment that settles superficially on the hair. Used to enhance the hair color you already have. It does not wear on the hair at all - on the contrary! The wrap is caring just like a hair wrap.

2. The pigments adhere less well to untreated hair

The pigments are difficult to attach to untreated hair, and will therefore probably not attach to your growth. I recommend not using color bombs at all if you have completely uncolored hair.

3. Enhances blonde shade in light hair

Color bombs for light hair colors are used to enhance the blonde hue. If you want to get rid of a yellow / orange tone without getting a cold blonde color, you can mix a violet wrap with a blonde / beige.

4. Can not be used to lighten the color

A hair color bomb can not be used to lighten your hair color.

5. Color bomb can also be applied to dry hair

If you, like me, have an umbrella dye, it can be difficult to apply the wrap in the shower without it sticking in the lengths - but it is actually possible to apply in dry hair as well! Then it is much easier to see where it should be applied.

6. For the whole hair, it is used as a regular hair wrap

However, the use of a color bomb for the entire hair is done just like a normal hair wrap, in towel-dried hair after shampooing, before conditioner.

7. Wear gloves to avoid smudging on your hands

Wear gloves to avoid having colored hands after using the wrap, it can be difficult to remove from the skin. When I apply to the scalp in dry hair, I use a foundation brush, works great.

8. Apply often if you want it to last

The pigments from the packaging are washed out over and over again, and if you have a colorful hair color, you should supplement with the color bomb every shower. Otherwise, repeat as needed.

9. It is possible to have different colors

You can also "play" with color bombs, you do not have to match your own hair color. If you e.g. have colored brown hair and want a more red tone, then you can have in a red color bomb in your hair.

10. More effect the longer you leave the color bomb in

The effect time is 3 minutes, so it goes very fast. But you get more effect the longer it lasts, so colorful colors (eg red) can with advantage work longer if you want an effective result.

I use a revlon color bomb

For my new hair color I now use Revlon Professional Nutri Color Cream (adlink) in the shade 500 Purple Red which is a purple-red color, just like my hair color. I can also recommend Maria Nila Color Refresh (adlink) in the shade Autumn red which I have also tested, my hairdresser sells both brands and it is also great!

Tips! I mitt andra blogginlägg Blond balayage (naturlig blond hårfärg) har jag använt djuprengörande schampo samt en mildare färgad inpackning för att få fort den gröngula tonen i håret. Så kan man också använda en färgad hårinpackning. Klicka in i det inlägget för produkttipsen! :)

Hope you who are hungry / already use color packaging for your hair became a little wiser by what a color bomb is!

What is my clothing style? It's been a while now but I got the question before ”What is your clothing style? You always post close-ups where you might glimpse a sweater a bit but it would be fun to see your style in its entirety!”

Briefly, I would describe my style as:

Comfortable but not boring
Different from day to day, so I do not just have one style
Very old and used
A lot of colorful, patterned and maybe a little bohemian?
Can get a little odd sometimes because I do not put so much thought into my outfit but put on a mix of garments I like

Since I do not own that much clothing and use mostly old mixed with a little semi-new, it sometimes becomes more basic :)

Lots of holiday clothes too .. You know when you are in an exotic country and pray ”yyyy this is SO I“But then you come home to a gray autumn day in Sweden and realize that I will never use this. Besides that I am one of those who continue to use the holiday style even at home haha.

The other day I was photographed and interviewed by the photographer Lisbeth Spörndly who just started the instagram account @Hello how are you doing where she interviews entrepreneurs about how the pandemic is going.

Here is one of the pictures where you not only see my face but my whole me and my clothing style! :)

The cardigan was actually bought not so long ago (have had it for 1 year type) as I love these that you can just throw over yourself. The rest, both the top, the pants and the shoes are bought on various holidays I have been on in recent years. I borrowed the hat from a friend during high school indefinitely, she would tell me when she wanted it back and now I have had it for 8 years haha.

The biggest difference I've made in recent years is to just dress what I feel like and not ask others "does this fit together" or "does this look weird?" which I always did before and then I always got answers like "njaa" because people usually have more basic style than I have. And then I listened to it.

Now I do not care at all but just wear something. I go much more on feeling than thought :)

Follow the account @Hello how are you doing on Instagram if you want to read the interview with me - and see how others entrepreneurs have it of course!

Spring tip - think of the cleavage in time!

Spring tip - think of the cleavage in time!

You have to be careful sun protection all over the body, of course, but in the way of make-up, the cleavage is an important issue that I have to address in time now in early summer.

Darker (and often red) tan in the décolleté

It's starting to be the time of year when it's tricky to test foundation shades on people and I'll explain why. If you are careless with sunscreen and spend a lot of time out in the sun, the cleavage will usually be much darker because it is exposed to the sun most of the whole body. When you are dressed, the cleavage is often open anyway, and if you sit in the sun you often have sunglasses, make-up and do not look straight at the sun all the time so the face does not get the same color.

On many, the tan on the décolleté also gets a very red tone, because even if you do not feel that you have burned yourself, the skin is very sun-damaged there.

Difficult to choose foundation shade

If you have light skin tone and slaves with the sunscreen as I wrote above, you often get a light neck, a tan tone on the face and a darker reddish brown tone on the décolleté. Not a completely easy combo.

If you then match your foundation with the cleavage in the dark, it will feel too dark on the face. In addition, almost all foundations appear to be the wrong undertone to compare with the red cleavage.

And if you match the foundation exactly with the color of the neck or face, it looks too bright compared to the décolleté.

What do you do about the above problems? Use sunscreen on the cleavage already at the beginning of the summer! :) Then you avoid that makeup problem completely.

Bronzer in the décolleté

A quick and easy trick if you want extra tan is to use bronzer in the cleavage! It does not take much and it goes SUPER FAST with a large, soft makeup brush. Then you can use spf 50, you avoid damaging the fragile décolleté skin and still look tanned and fresh! Good, is not it? ;)

This is what I do every day now, sweep on quickly with sun powder on the neck and décolleté (not too dark, it should blend in with the rest of the body as well) and then a little up on the jawbones so that it blends in with my contouring in the face. An extra large brush makes it go faster, I use Nanshy Powder Brush, a blush brush takes longer.

Tip! We rear out the bronzer palettes from Pixi in the webshop! SEK 299 for 6 shades (ordinary price SEK 369) in both shimmery and matte tones, so luxurious to vary I think :) Eg. has one of the shadows gold shimmer in it, so nice!

Permanent hair before & after - How does it work?

You who have followed me know how extremely long I have been longing to perpetuate my hair! Curly permanent hair is so beautiful!

I've been thinking about this for two years now. I made a permanent failure 10 years ago and have wanted "revenge" since then haha. In the blog post, among other things ”A nicer 2018“In the New Year 2017, I wrote that I wanted to permanent my hair before that summer.

It has taken a while to get to the shots if you say so;) meeen guess what I did yesterday !!!

Permanent hair wavy or curly?

So happy with permanent hair! You must not blow dry the curls afterwards so I have no styling or volume stuff in my hair at all in the pictures in this post. This is the result after the hair was completely wet, then self-dried and then a little leave-in conditioner in the tops only :)

How to make your hair permanent?

Gunilla on Creative Zone made permanent hair on me with the brand Hårologi. It is a slightly different way compared to other permanents, thanks to a substance that it does not contain (do not remember the name) which makes it more gentle on the hair.

First you check the quality of the hair, partly in a device but also by pulling a straw between the fingers / nails and see how the elasticity is and how it curls. Partly to see that the quality can be done the treatment on but also to assess the choice of coils. I needed quite large coils even though I wanted small curls.
Deep cleansing of the hair in the shampooing
Haircut, I had to cut my hair a little so as not to have more curls in the tops than the rest of the hair.
A constructive protein spray is sprayed on the hair to maintain hair quality.
The hair is rolled up on spools, then the permanent liquid is applied
After the effect time, you go to the shampooing and another liquid is applied. A liquid that is not used for ordinary permanents but only for Hairology.
Then you rinse your hair thoroughly and apply the last liquid that will ache for a while as well.
Then you take out the coils, rinse the hair thoroughly and finish with conditioner.
The building protein sprays are sprayed on again
You are not allowed to dry your hair with a blow dryer so I sat in a dryer (took quite a long time) and dried myself.

How long does it take to permanent hair?

For me, it took approx. 2-3 hours at the hairdresser, but it depends on how thick your hair is and how many coils you use.

A large part of the time does not necessarily have to be at the hairdresser, because you are not allowed to blow-dry your hair afterwards, so I air-dried in a heating machine and it took quite a long time.

Why permanent hair?

I thrive best in released hair but I think it's so boring to fix my hair. Without styling, my hair is flat like a pancake against my head, very difficult to get volume and just looks very boring (I think myself).

So the reason I wanted permanent hair is to get life and volume without having to fix so much with it. So the most important thing is not the curls themselves (even though I love them too of course) but I want the volume and the lively :)

Can one permanently bleach hair?

The reason why most hairdressers say no to permanent bleached hair is because bleached = worn. Even though you have a good permanent, it obviously wears on the hair.

But I am so careful with my hair because it is a bit of a hobby, I love lying in the bath with hair wrap or walking around and cleaning in wrap and face mask. I wash my hair once a week and always have hair wrap every wash. I use really good products without silicones and rarely use heating tools.

In addition, I always bleach with Olaplex so the hair does not get so worn out either. So even the hairdressers say that I have good hair quality and am an approved customer for permanent hair :)

Choice of hairdresser to permanent hair

Most hairdressers find it boring to be permanent, I have talked to several people. They say "it is the only thing that has not developed since the 80's". But it's mostly about the fact that there are so few customers who make permanents today, then the hairdressers will not be good at it. And what you are not good / sure of, you do not think is fun.

Hairology has a developed permanent fluid and works with training on new ways to roll the hair. One can e.g. make one permanent with only 8 coils!

Gunilla wants more people to permanent their hair. She was so careful and knowledgeable when she stood with my single strands of hair and did tests to determine coil and technique. Professional at your fingertips literally haha :)

Is it starting to become trendy to permanent hair again?

A question that I have received from several now that I have permanent hair is "jahaa has it become trendy again?”. The answer is no but I trooor it will start to come back but with a more fancy word, maybe texturing or something like that :) Do not you think it can be so?

Now when I told my client that I was going to permanent my hair, I got the answer "jahaa are you inspired by Carola?”And I had completely missed her new hair haha! Our cool if hair permanent becomes a trend now :)

Style a permanent hair

The pictures above are, as I said, completely without styling, just self-dried. You are not allowed to wet permanent hair 48 hours afterwards, but I LONG until I can wash my hair myself. Since the deep cleanser washed out all the color packaging and silver shampoo, I'm not really happy with the blonde tone now. I have withdrawal symptoms after my cold rosé color which I mix in my hair wrap :) Read more about that wrap in the post Milk_Shake Direct Color Review

In addition, I am very eager to test volume products, sprays and stuff to find "my way" to style it. Because there is no right way, some hug with mousse, some with a caring spray, some do nothing at all.

I was advised to wait to buy new styling until I felt for myself with the products I have at home. But there are some tips to keep in mind:

Moisture - Curly hair loves moisture! I will be more generous with moisturizing products.

Conditioner & water - You can mix conditioner and water in a spray bottle and spray in between the washes if you want to bring out the curls more. Conditioner has a low pH value, which causes the curls to contract and become more defined.

Curl booster - Hairology has a spray that has an even lower pH value. I have seen live on a curly hair how much difference it makes, the curls came out immediately when it was sprayed on! However, Gunilla did not think I would need it.

Wide-toothed comb & self-drying - To blow dry and brush the hair as usual is big no no now, then the hair will be a great frizz!

Oooh I want to shower and play now! :)

Hair quality after permanent hair - permanently wears on the hair?

Even if you bleach with Olaplex, you feel that the structure of the straws has changed a bit. But after the permanent treatment, I feel no difference in quality at all, it feels just like before!

The biggest difference for me is that I can now not sleep in a braid, because then the curls will be a little strange then. And sleeping with released wears more on the hair.

How long does permanent hair last?

Durability for permanent hair if you have good quality, are careful with wraps and do not wear the hair unnecessarily, the permanent can last for several years! Gunilla herself had her hair permanently 1.5 years ago and it was still very nice even though it has grown out a bit :)

How long hair do you need to make your hair permanent?

The length does not matter much, as long as you can thread the hair around the spool, that is enough.

Hairdressers usually recommend shoulder long hair, but I think it is probably because longer hair takes so long. :)

How much does it cost to permanently curl your hair?

The price for permanent hair is between SEK 1500 - SEK 3000 and depends on how long you have hair.

Permanent short hair is cheaper than long and you often get what you pay for. So it's not always worth going for the price, find someone good through reviews! :)

What do you think? :) Was it good? How it will be with styling and such, you can follow later when I get to wash it myself! Whether you want curly permanent hair or permanent wavy hair, I recommend Creative Zone, so good!

Do you want to book an appointment Creative Zone so you can call them on 018 141000 because permanent is not bookable online in their booking system :)

Note our company has nothing to do with that hair salon, it's just a coincidence that both are called Creative haha.
