Age beautiful hair color

Since high school, I&#;ve suffered from terribly damaged, thin, brittle, dehydrated, and dull hair.

In the past, I&#;ve settled for boxed hair dye that only accelerated the damage already done. My hair felt like straw and it quite literally looked like all the life was sucked out of it. I was desperate. I thought keeping my hair a lighter color would cover up the years worth of damage, but the bleach only made it worse. This was my hair just three days ago. Still dry, brittle, and breaking.

I recently had a conversation with my mom telling her I needed to accept that I would never have healthy hair again. It may seem like a silly thing to be upset about, but it has been one of my biggest insecurities since the ripe age of fifteen.

I&#;ve always loved getting my hair done. Having new hair makes me feel like a whole new person. I feel more confident, refreshed and rejuvenated.

Unfortunately, it often required expensive, prolonged salon visits and an unhappy wallet. However, it doesn&#;t have to be expensive, difficult, nor time-consuming. You can get a hair makeover in the comfort of your own home (and get your healthy locks back again)!

During this busy season of motherhood, I&#;ve found that easy and convenient trumps difficult and time-consuming. As a mama, I know how difficult it can be to step away from your kids to spend a few hours at a salon. I recently found Zotos Professional AGEbeautfiul Anti-Aging hair color at Sally Beauty and absolutely LOVE the end result!

Replenishing my hair has been one of my biggest goals for years. Not only does our hair experience 5 signs of aging as time passes, but it also needs essential components that are lost with aging. I&#;m no expert, but with my efforts in constantly experimenting with my hair, I&#;ve figured out a color system that truly restores my hair. I&#;m not kidding &#; every strand feels softer and healthier. My hair feels instantly fuller, silkier, and radiates with shine &#; something I never thought was possible!

Throughout the years, our hair loses volume, manageability, moisture, shine and the major one &#; color. This is why finding a hair coloring system to replenish these essential aging signs is so important to me. I want to care for myself, my mind, my body, and my hair, in the best way possible.

Why use Zotos Professional AGEbeautiul?

AGEbeautiful anti-aging hair color is the first hair color developed to fight all 5 signs of aging in our hair. If you haven&#;t experienced these signs yet, there are ways you can avoid them altogether.

I can&#;t get over how healthy my hair looks immediately after coloring it!

This system is a powerful, yet gentle patented conditioning technology that contains melanin, keratin peptide, silk protein to bring life back to your hair. It contains essential components that our hair loses with aging, and quite frankly needs to keep our hair healthy and thriving.

When looking for a change-up in my hair color, I new I wanted to go darker. This unique formula absorbs quickly and penetrates its components deeply to deliver beautiful, rich color.

Step-By-Step Guide to Coloring Your Hair At-Home

Sally Beauty has professional, permanent liquid or liquid creme hair color. They carry a variety of colors, from blonde to dark brunette, to fun colors like red, blue, and purple tones. Find a Sally Beauty retailer near you and ask an associate to help you find the color you are looking for.

AGEbeautiful can be used by applying with a bowl and brush or applicator bottle. The liquid can ONLY be applied with the applicator bottle; the liquid-crème can be applied with either the bottle and/or bowl and brush (because it is thicker). It’s a personal preference.

I used the liquid crème in 4N and really love the color! The 4N is a dark brown color. I do have to say, the color turns out darker than anticipated. The tips of my hair (as seen above) were fairly blonde and the color turned out a very dark brown. I absolutely love it, but I suggest keeping this in mind when figuring out which color you want for your hair.

I found in the past that using the liquid was just too runny for me, so this liquid crème is a great consistency. It applies smooth, easy, and gives incredible coverage!

You&#;ll want to purchase a liquid/liquid crème color (I used color 4N) and a developer. 99% of the time, 20 volume is the correct developer. Make sure to grab a bowl, mixing brush, applicator bottle, and don&#;t forget gloves! You do not want to be mixing and applying hair color without gloves, it will leave residue on your skin that can be difficult to remove. If desired, you can also pick up a leave-in conditioner that&#;s color-safe for washing afterwards.

Step 1:

Prepare your station. You&#;ll want to put on an old t-shirt, invest in a cape, or place a towel around your shoulders and clip the ends together to ensure no hair color gets on your clothes. Next, set your bowl and brush (or applicator bottle) on the counter. Clip 3/4 of your hair up and slip your gloves on. Apply conditioner or Vasoline to your forehead and tops of your ears to prevent color staining.

Step 2:

Mix the hair color and developer together. Measure the developer first, then add the color. Mixing ratio for most shades is 1 to 1. This means for every ounce of color, you&#;ll need an ounce of developer. AGEbeautiful color comes in a 2 ounce tube and the developer is a 4 ounce tube. If you have long and/or thick hair, consider purchasing two tubes of the hair color. Again, don&#;t forget your gloves!

Step 3:

Consider doing a patch test before coloring to ensure you are not allergic. Pour 2 ounces of the developer into applicator bottle or bowl (approximately ½ of the developer provided). Pour the entire 2 ounce tube of color into the same applicator bottle or bowl as you did the developer. Mix well.

Part your hair into sections. Apply color entirely to each section until you&#;ve completed your whole head. I used a clip and just pulled out a new section when I was finished with the previous one. Then, I just re-clipped the remaining hair back up until I needed to color a new section.

Step 4

Once you have colored every section, let the hair color sit for 30 minutes for a regular application. Another option is letting it sit for 45 minutes for 50% or more gray hair. This ensures optimal coverage.

AGEbeautiful Color does not need to be shampooed out after processing. Simply rinse, towel dry, then apply conditioner.

That&#;s it! You&#;re done! 

I could not be happier with my hair after using AGEbeautiful. I&#;ve colored my hair more times than I can count and I can honestly say there is life in my hair again! It&#;s silky smooth, a beautiful color, and feels healthier than it&#;s ever been.

I will be recommending this to all of my family and friends! Thank you Zotos Professional and Sally Beauty for equally making me feel like a brand new woman!

About AGEbeautiful:

Known for its award-winning gray coverage, AGEbeautiful Permanent Liqui-Crème Haircolor is debuting a series of new “Flash of Color” shades. Artistic Director Mike Petrizzi explains that these new shades give a tone-on-tone effect with a diffused yet brilliant layer of color over seemingly natural base colors. (For example, a rich, dark brunette will transform into a shimmering midnight blue in the sun, or a deep, gorgeous brown will show a glimmer of rich red.) The bold-on-basic approach is designed to give clients a luminous, better-than-natural effect to update their look.

And, now both AGEbeautiful permanent liqui-crème and permanent liquid haircolor are infused with scalp and hair moisturizing Vitamin E. A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Scalp sebum decreases by 50% as we age, causing the scalp to become dry & dull. AGEbeautiful permanent liquid haircolor is formulated with antioxidant Vitamin E, which helps hair stay hydrated & moisturized. Hair feels instantly fuller & silkier, & radiates with shine.

• Available in both liqui-crème and liquid forms

• 45 rich, natural-looking shades leave hair full of dimension & shine

• % unsurpassed gray coverage

• intermixable shades for ultimate creativity & flexibility

My Review:

It&#;s true- I color my hair every month because I would be completely gray if I didn&#;t!   I have used AGEbeautiful Hair Color before and I was excited to try it again.  I chose 2 different red based colors and mixed them together.  I didn&#;t realize HOW RED it really was going to be.  When I saw the red color mixture, I knew it was going to be bright.  

I went ahead and colored my roots and all, let it sit for 30 minutes then showered.  Let me tell you how long it took me to rinse all that red out of my hair!  Twenty minutes and the water still wasn&#;t running clear off my hair.  

Then came the red shocker afterwards!  If you are going for that bright red/purplish color, then this would have been the perfect red for you.  It was a little much for me.  I had many friends say they loved it, but I wasn&#;t convinced.  I was able to add a brown neutral color and tone down the vibrant red.  So now I LOVE it.  The AGEbeautiful Hair Color provides excellent gray coverage and doesn&#;t leave your hair dry and damaged.  In fact, the color even smelled better than most that I use.

I love AGEbeautiful products!  They are my ultimate favorite shampoo and conditioner.  Yes, I&#;m over 40 and I need to take care of my hair as well as my skin.  Did you know that all AGEbeautiful formulas are designed to fight all 5 signs of aging hair: loss of volume, manageability, color, moisture and shine. And they’re still packed with the same powerful ingredients to combat these issues: melanin, keratin peptide and a conditioning technology with silk protein that helps replenish hair with the essential components that are lost with aging.

These AGEbeautiful Formulas can be found at  Sally Beauty.  Visit SallyBeauty.com to find a location near you.

Today, on Redhead Mom, I&#;m sharing about How to Color Your Hair at Home
with AGEbeautiful Permanent Hair Color in partnership with Zotos Professional.

For years, I&#;ve gone to the salon to have my hair colored and trimmed. This was my very first time coloring my hair at home&#;on my own&#;and I was nervous! Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind was Frenchy who colored her hair for beauty school on &#;Grease&#; and it turned out pink. I did NOT want that to happen to me.

Before coloring my hair, I did my research (thank you internet and YouTube), as well as visited Sally Beauty and asked a few questions there and looked at hair colors. I also gained a little bit of confidence remembering my mom who always colored her own hair at home. Plus, I have a sister who colored her hair at home, so she was able to give me a little advice too. I have to tell you that the process was not as scary as I thought it would be and I was super impressed with the results afterwards. I did it on my own and it looked good!!! I will definitely be using AGEbeautiful from Zotos Professional in the future!

HOW TO COLOR YOUR HAIR AT HOME

SUPPLIES

STEP 1 &#; PREPARE

• Put on cape. I didn&#;t use a cape, but made sure I didn&#;t have colored hair hanging down and dripping everywhere (plastic clips are essential).
• Brush hair. I really like the Wet Brush for brushing my hair. It doesn&#;t pull, but gets out tangles effectively.
• Apply barrier cream to edges. Conditioner works well. I did this my first time and found a few spots that could easily be missed due to the barrier cream or conditioner. I would suggest having some NeutrogenaMakeup Remover Wipes on hand as they removed the hair coloring quickly and easily.
• Put on gloves. This is a very important step as you don&#;t want your hands staining from the hair color.

STEP 2 &#; DEVELOPER

Pour 2 oz of developer into a bowl. I used the 20 Volume Developer and poured it into the plastic bowl. Be sure to always use a non-metallic bowl.

STEP 3 &#; PERMANENT COLOR

Add 2 oz of permanent color and mix well

STEP 4 &#; APPLICATION

Divide hair into sections. Use non-slip croc clips to hold the hair. Apply application to dry hair, starting with the roots. Be sure to apply to resistant grays first &#; usually the hairline and part. If you want to color all of hair, add solution and clip. Set timer for 30 minutes

**TIP &#; 45 minutes for 50% or more gray hair

PROCESSING TIME TIPS

• Clip hair up with plastic clips versus metal clips
• Don&#;t use a shower cap
• Clean up hairline right after application

STEP 5 &#; CLEAN UP HAIRLINE

I use the NeutrogenaMakeup Remover Wipes and remove any hair colors streaks or spots that may have landed on my face or neck while waiting for my hair color to set.

STEP 6 &#; RINSE

Put on gloves prior to rinsing hair. Rinse hair until water runs clear.

STEP 7 &#; STYLE

Shampoo, condition and style.

AGEbeautiful anti-aging haircolor is the first professional haircolor developed to fight all 5 signs of aginghair. It’s also the first color with melanin, keratin peptide, silk protein, and a patented conditioning technology to help replenish hair with the essential components that are lost with aging. Plus, all AGEbeautiful permanent haircolor is infused with a boost of moisturizing vitamin E for healthy scalp and hair. I loved the way my hair felt and looked after coloring with AGEbeautiful permanent haircolor!

What are the 5 signs of aginghair and the AGEbeautiful Haircolor results?

1. Thinning: instantly fuller and thicker hair
2. Wiry gray: dramatically softer, more manageable hair
3. Turning gray: % gray coverage for up to 8 weeks
4. Dryness: significantly more conditionedhair
5. Dullness: visibly more radiant, shiny hair

AGEbeautiful haircolor is infused with Vitamin E, which is an antioxidant rich ingredient known for its anti-aging properties. Zotos Professional has infused their AGEbeautiful permanent liquid haircolor with scalp and hair moisturizing vitamin E, which helps maintain hydration, resulting in hair that instantly feels fuller, silkier, and radiates with shine!

AGEbeautiful haircolor will give you better results than boxed color because they use professional hairdye formulas for better gray coverage than boxed color. Plus, their unique anti-aging formula with melanin, keratin peptides, and silk proteins replenishes the hair with essential components that are lost with aging. Hair feels instantly fuller, silkier, and radiates with dimensional shine.

When selecting a shade, be sure to choose a shade that is 1 or 2 levels lighter than the desired color. If hair has been previously colored, apply to the root area ONLY. Always follow directions for proper timing. I chose the shade 7RC (Dark Strawberry Blonde) and it is a gorgeous redcolor. I&#;ve also used the shade 8RC (Strawberry Blonde) and love that one as weel. Plus, I&#;ve received a LOT of compliments on both!

I loved my experience with AGEbeautiful permanent liqui-creme and will be using it again in the future! It made my hair feel and look fabulous!
