“Your hair hasn’t faded on the ends and it has kept its
tone,” said Liz Edmonds, colour director at Daniel Galvin, as she cast her
beady eyes over my hair. “The overall colour could do with being a bit cooler
and there are certain areas that need being blended through with some tint,
which we will do after the roots have been touched up.”

It was nearly five weeks since I last visited Liz. There were no signs of orange, thank goodness,
and there definitely wasn’t any yellow peering through – the two problems that
she had to deal with on my first visit.
I was pleased with how well it had lasted, but felt it was a
touch too warm, But, as Liz had already picked up on it, I felt quietly
confident that we could be on to a winner this time, even though Liz had warned
me that it will take a few visits to get it perfect.
“Fading occurs naturally through wear and tear. The longer
the hair, the more porous it is as it has been subject to more abuse from the
sun, styling etc,” says Liz. “The colour shouldn’t be taken through to the ends
too often.
“Your problem with too much orange was due to the fact that
the base colour got lighter and the highlights on top faded and gradually went
warmer so the hair ended up looking brassy.”
After all the hassle I have been through, I don’t think
anybody could tempt me to put lights back into my hair.
My roots were done first. After being shampooed, Liz
massaged a gloss through the ends to cool down the overall shade and cover the
areas that had become a bit too translucent.

As I watched Megan, my highly-competent stylist (it looked
amazing for days) blow-dry my hair into soft waves, I couldn’t believe what I
was seeing: a lovely, natural light golden brown. I really was blown-away with
the result. When I got home even the concierge at my apartment block remarked
how great it looked.
This has to be one of the best hues I had for a long time.
In fact, it looks so good people think it is natural!
