The 10 questions you ask yourself before switching to color with David Lucas
1-Can all women color their hair?
Some scalps can sometimes be intolerant to color. When a woman wants to switch to color and this is her first time, I always make her test Sabouraud. 48 hours before coloringI apply a drop of color in the fold of her arm and see how she reacts. If there is no reaction, I proceed to the coloring.

2-Does coloring damage the hair?
It is obvious that the hair loses a little in quality, even when using micro pigments. The wicked hair will be particularly sensitized, it will absorb odors and it can dull very quickly too. It is therefore important to take care of your hair.
3-What care to bring colored hair?
We must treat her hair as her skin because the most beautiful colors will not hold on a dried hair. It is necessary to make a balance with your hairdresser. He can then recommend care corresponding to the nature of your hair. Do not forget that the hairdresser is here to listen to you.
4-How to choose your color?
The color reflects the personality of a woman. To choose a color, consider the color of the complexion, the color of the eyebrows and how a woman wears makeup. I always advise to choose a natural color. It is important to know what a woman wants to clear as an image. If she is looking for a color with character, I recommend them to choose a color one tone above their natural color. If she's just looking for sweetness, harmony, I advise her a color a tone below.
5-What are the mistakes to avoid?
It is better to avoid things too marked. At first, I always advise my clients to opt for super natural colors, you have to stay yourself first. Often hair colors natural just need to be brightened, just bring a small reflection or an ultra light scan and it changes everything! Also avoid making repeated and radical changes. And above all, choose a good colorist!
6-How to camouflage white hair?
White hair can allow unexpected wick effects. For brunettes, I will coat the white hair with henna, it will give the hair a copper tone without coloring it quite for a reflection effect. For the brown hair, we can create a wicked effect by reinforcing the base and barely hiding the white hair of a small veil that will maroon. For blond hair, I skate with light pigments without actually covering them, it allows to brown the hair and to leave it at the same time.
7-When you get older, should you darken or lighten your hair?
Lighten because it tends to soften facial features. But too much brightening can tarnish the complexion so be careful!
8-After a color, can I find my initial color?
Generally, when a client asks me to regain its original color, I will do a deep cleanse to purify and remove the excess pigment. Then I redo a natural base with an artificial pigment to get as close as possible to its original color. But let's be honest, the best solution will be to wait for regrowth.
9-If I want to be in the trend, what color to choose for fall-winter 2012?
This summer, the trend was at tie and dye. Today, we are seeing the return of more decided colors: a deep red, a brilliant black, or a white blond.
10- Finally, what is "the key" David Lucas?
It's the subtlety of melted sweeps and patinated tones more real than life!
