Top Hair Colouring related questions

How long a hair colouring service takes all boils down to several factors, including your current hair length, your base hair colour, and the hair colour you're going for. Most hair colouring jobs take anywhere between two to four hours, with the exact time varying depending on the type of colouring technique being applied and the type of dye used in the colouring job.

Simply put, hair colouring that contains chemicals has a certain level of risk. Permanent hair colours contain ammonia and hydrogen peroxide which act as agents that deposit pigment into your hair shaft. These chemicals could lead to drying and brittleness if not applied properly. To ensure your hair's optimal health, avoid changing your hair colour too often, and make sure to use high-quality dyes and colouring products with lower chemical doses.

To ensure the quality and longevity of colour-treated hair, make sure to wait three days after your appointment before shampooing. Also, keep in mind to wash your hair every other day or twice to thrice a week instead of every day to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils and moisture. Lastly, stock up on sulfate-free hair products so you can slow down the fading process and keep your hair colour fresh as long as possible.

Research has shown that it's generally safe to get your hair coloured while pregnant. Chemicals in permanent and semi-permanent dyes don't contain dangerous levels of toxins. Although small amounts of hair colouring may come into contact with your skin during treatment, the amount of chemicals absorbed into your body is too minimal to have any lasting and harmful effect on your unborn baby.

In general, the minimum amount of time needed before a recolouring job is one month, but it's best to wait for six to seven weeks to lower the risk of any adverse effects. If your hair is damaged, it's best to wait until your hair is in better shape or until the roots grow out. If you're already unhappy with your hair colour, you can consult your hair colourist for possible colour corrective options.

Definitely! Through Airtasker, you can outsource all types of beauty and hair-related services. You can hire a makeup artist to help you enhance your features while creating a look that goes well with your newly coloured hair. In case you want to preserve your look through photos, you can also find photographers who can capture images of your brand new style while celebrating a milestone, event, or special occasion.

Suggested reads about Hair Colouring

What do hair colouring services include?

From bold and sassy to cool and classic, hair colouring can definitely make a statement. Whether you're going for a permanent hair colour or trendy highlights or you're looking to mix up your style for a special occasion, hair colour specialists near you can help you achieve the look you're aiming for while bringing out your natural features. Here's what to expect when you book a hair colouring service through Airtasker:

All-over hair colouring

All-over hair colouring is a single-step process that involves dyeing the hair with just one pigment or shade. The three types of all-over hair colouring treatments are permanent, semi-permanent, and demi-permanent, with each process varying in longevity and intensity.

Permanent hair colour employs a combination of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide to darken, lighten, or completely change your hair colour, with the new hue lasting anywhere between six to eight weeks. Demi-permanent colour is gentler on your mane but typically washes out after 24 shampoos, while semi-permanent hair colour is chemical-free and easy to maintain but wears off in as short as three weeks. 

Regardless of which process you choose, all-over hair colouring can help you pull off your desired look with added richness and shine.

Highlights and lowlights

If you're looking for a way to subtly refresh your look without as much commitment as a full-on colouring job, then highlights and lowlights are your best bet. It involves applying bleach to certain sections of your hair and wrapping them in aluminium foil. The results can look as natural or as dramatic as you want, with hair having more depth and dimension than typical all-over hair colours. 

You can even ask a hair colourist near you for special treatments such as ombré and balayage. These trendy styles are defined by hair that is darker at the roots and gradually blends into a lighter hue at the ends, giving you that natural-looking glow without having to spend time under the sun.

Hair colouring for events and special occasions

Got an event or special occasion coming up? With Airtasker, you can easily find a hair colour expert who can help transform your look for your wedding or another kind of celebration. Whether you're thinking of dyeing your hair to a bold red or looking for a softer style such as ombré highlights, our platform lets you find the best hair colourist near you without all the hassle. 

You can even go all the way and hire a Tasker to manage your event for you. They can handle all the logistics, so you can focus on enjoying your big day. We also have plenty of wedding vendors who are ready to supply you with all your catering, decorating, and other wedding-related needs.
