The color and shade of your hair can\ndramatically transform your overall appearance. A trendy, bright, or neon color\ncan make you look vibrant and outgoing, a bombshell blonde can make you look\nbubbly and fun, and a luxurious brunette can make you look elegant and\nsophisticated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, get the wrong color for your skin\ntone and what should be an enhanced and enchanting transformation can make you\nlook washed out or unnecessarily harsh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hair designer and stylist Rafi\nKouyoumijian knows a thing or two about dramatic hair color transformations.\nAfter all, Rafi is one of the most sought after hair designers in the United\nArab Emirates and rightly so. His skill\nand finesse when it comes to hair coloring have earned him international\nrenown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The in-demand stylist believes\nhairdressing is both an art and a science, thereby urging anyone considering a\ndramatic hair color change to think carefully and pay specific attention to the\nfollowing points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, under no circumstances should\nanyone contemplating a hair color change should do it themselves. Rafi warns\nthat this is an absolute no-go. The shops may be awash with a tempting array of\ndyes, but there are a host of things that could go wrong if you attempt to\napply it yourself, explains Rafi. Patchy color, the wrong shade, and damaged\nhair are just a few of the accidents waiting to happen for any would-be DIY\nenthusiasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rafi always advises the client to consult\na professional before they make the big leap into the unknown. An experienced\nstylist will tell you the amount of time required and the exact cost of the\nprocedure. They\u2019ll also let you know what is achievable and what is not. Rafi\ncannot stress enough that a dramatic hair color transformation doesn\u2019t happen\novernight. It\u2019s more of a journey and not just a one-off appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The health of your hair before\ncoloring it is also a significant factor. Rafi emphasizes that for a color\nchange to work well, healthy hair is a priority. If the hair is damaged Rafi\nadvises any prospective clients to start working on its health before they\nembark on their color change journey <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rafi explains you should also think\nlong and hard about your natural color and what you intend to change it to. For\nexample, if you are a brunette, you\u2019re choices are limited. Going black or red\nis usually quite simple. Going blonde however, may take a little more time. For\nthose blessed with red hair, it\u2019s easier to go dark rather than light, but it\nis possible to go blonde. However, Rafi always advises to carefully consider\nthe shade of blonde you\u2019d like to be. As for blondes, the world is their oyster\nwhen it comes to color transformations. Even so, Rafi urges caution and to make\nsure you are committed to changing your natural hue before making an\nappointment. For the simple reason that\nalthough blondes can go darker with incredible results, it is often a long and\ncomplicated journey to restore their natural color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rafi explains that time and time\nagain, he has seen women get a new lease of life after undergoing a dramatic\nhair color change, and believes if done right, it\u2019ll be one of the best and\nbrightest decisions you can ever make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
