Your colorist is essential in maintaining exquisite hair color results. But, at times, a girl’s just gotta do it at home. Here are some tips:

1. Get to know your base color number by visiting a stylist before starting any DIY changes on your tresses. Then you can match your shade from roots to ends with

colors on the shelf.

2. Add depth and shine without permanent commitment by using semi (lasts 4-12 shampoos) or demi-permanent (lasts up to 24 shampoos) formulas in your range.

3. 3.Warm up your strands by adding red accents, or choose the best auburn hue for your skin type. (Hold color strands to your face to test them out.)
