There are those hair days when everything looks alright but still, where's the oomph? Now is the time for a magical transformation. A new hair color can certainly do that miracle!

You may not feel like surprising family and friends alike but rather prefer approaching the new hair color in baby steps. Some streaks may be well worth a try and a good way to find the right color to improve on nature.
Semi-permanent hair coloring kits are a safe way to find your new hair color as well. This is true especially if you don't like streaks or your hair is naturally light. The semi-permanent hair color washes out quickly and you find out whether the color did anything for your style and complexion.
The popular two-tone look is another terrific way to experiment with hair color without coloring your entire head of hair right away. Only the ends of your hair change color.
Have fun testing! Only after you have found the hair color, which looks and feels right to you, should you reach for the permanent hair color.
