You have decided that you want to make a change to your hair, but at the same time you hesitate because you have to pay the price of increasing your salon visits for you best haircut and colour technique result.
Also, repeated lockdowns is another factor that avoids your hair salon visits.
After several weeks without a salon appointment, you ask yourself what's the reason of reviving your hair look since you probably won't be able to freshen it up.
There is a reason!
The main reason to make a change to your hair is first of all for yourself. You'll be rejuvenated, you'll see yourself with different eyes and you enhance your mood.
The hair experts of B.A.M. hair salon recommend you manageable hair changes for either a haircut or colour where the result will be as close to your natural hair as possible. Especially if you afraid committing to a haircut.
What does the term "manageable hair" mean?
It refers to haircuts or colour techniques that do not require frequent touch-ups and salon visits.
Let's have a look at some suggestions from the hair experts of B.A.M. Hair salon
Haircuts
The haircut should be selected according to your hair type. This is something that can only be done after a diagnosis by our hair experts.
An experienced hair stylist will be able to recommend the ideal haircut for your hair type so that it can behave and lengthen properly over time.
Just to be clear, we do not recommend skipping haircuts, as this goes against our ideal of healthy hair even if you want to lengthen your hair. But a great quality haircut is going to last even during lockdown periods.
Colour techniques:
The balayage technique is a modern and trendy way to change your hair colour.
With this technique, your mids and ends of your hair are dyed without affecting your root.
Even if you grow your hair up to 6 months later, the result will still look beautiful!
However, don't be afraid to try colour in your balayage in this case.
Coloured balayage can be a more temporary option as the technique is essentially based on lightening and then applying the tone or colour you want to the hair.
Compare this technique as a painter who uses colour creatively to perfect his work.
Over time, the colour will fade away and the blonde from the technique will remain.
Also, with appropriate and special shampoos you will be able to keep your colour fresh and vibrant!
For manageable coloured balayage choose pastel shades!
Total hair colour:
If you dye all your hair and don't do any special things like highlights or balayage, we recommend choosing shades close to your natural colour. You can lighten or darken your hair 2 to 3 tones from your natural hair. In that way, when your hair grows long at the roots there will be no big difference in you hair colour
Grey hair:
If your hair is grey or white hair is too much, we suggest you not to cover it with any colours, even the colour you used to have as natural.
Instead, we encourage you to try to fix your existing grey hair by adding highlights to create an even grey colour all over your head.
When we talk about manageable hair, we don't mean that you can't do anything at home or that you'll never have to go to the salon again. But what you can do is extend your time until your next visit to the salon or even try something new if you've never done a technique on your hair before!
Don't forget to have a hair routine with the right products for your hair type.
Balayage technique is the most popular trend in hair colouring since 2017.
The untamed, natural result of this technique is achieved when the hairdresser, according to your needs creates beautiful colour shades to your hair. Specifically, the hairdresser applies colour to your mids and ends of the hair avoiding colouring your roots. In such way the result looks natural and creates a gradual change effect from your natural colour to the one you prefer.
The reverse balayage is based on the same philosophy – the gradual change effect of your hair colour. Only this time the lighter tones are on your roots and the darker on the mids and ends.
So, colour application is performed in reverse.
Reverse balayage in order to create the ordinary balayage
We can apply reverse balayage in order to create the original balayage in highligheted hair or all fully dyed blond hair.
The hairdresser applies the same technique, only this time focuses on your hair roots and mids to create this gradually change effect close to your natural colour.
We are not sure if Greek girls will prefer the reverse balayage trend, but we know for sure that this trend is here to stay!
(Do you remember the emo culture from previous generations?)
If your child's change in hair doesn't violate school rules and they're between 16 to 18 years old, we suggest experiencing their first hair color change together!
There are many hair colors and dyeing techniques available now, with plenty of choices, but the most important thing is that they're safe for the hair.
If your child wants a drastic change (e.g., from blonde to black), it's good to do some research or even talk to a trusted expert to suggest less damaging alternatives, perhaps opting for a semi-permanent dye or an ammonia-free one.
What we definitely want to avoid is hair damage, so don't let your child change their hair color alone at home. Instead, see it as an opportunity for a mother-daughter bonding experience where you'll spend quality time together and share another first experience with your daughter.
Directly suggest to your child to go to a good salon where their hair will be properly taken care of and they'll receive advice. Explain the risks that may be involved if they attempt such changes at home. The most significant risks are:

Health is what makes us radiate confidence and charm.
Romantic Chic Style
Hairstyles
If you are this type of girl who prefers more romantic style, dresses with comfortable dresses, selects floral prints and pastel colours, then we recommend you sparce curls and wavy styling for any type of hair length.
Not to mention that sloppy buns provide a certain romanticism to your style especially for long or medium length hair.
Haircuts
If you prefer very short hair we recommend you to allow some lengths on top of the head just to have more styling options. Fringes can also support this look, as they make your face look more charming.
Colour
Short blonde hair dyed according to your skin tone or pastel colour applied with the appropriate technique will fulfil your personal style.
Chic Corporate Office Style
If your lifestyle is defined by your career and your dress style is blazers, suits and corporate look, then simplicity on your haircuts will enforce your professionalism.
Hairstyles
To enforce this professional look, we suggest you to try wear your hair sleek and shiny. Also, hair pulled back in a strict bun combined with parting your hair (sideways or in the middle) can provide a corporate look. Furthermore, to cement the professional look, you can try loose but not sloppy curls and blow dry styling providing volume on top and ends slightly turned.
Colour
You should opt for natural blonde tones, dark brown and copper red tones.
Fashion colours are not the best option for this look.
Haircuts
Medium length haircuts and short frames in strict lines fit perfectly to the corporative look.
Contemporary Style
By Contemporary we don't just mean the modern woman,
but rather the woman who embraces class, minimalism and her unique sense of fashion and style.
She loves monochromatic and neutral natural colours in her outfits and always enhances her style by wearing jewellery.
Hairstyles
Wet look, smooth and low buns, minimally styled hair, and of course the use of clips and subtle hair accessories.
Colour
Natural tones, close enough to the natural colour of the hair without complex techniques.
Haircuts
Everything from long, and very short hair to shaved all over the head.
The haircut is a key styling element and if done correct and to the spot it will look like it has come off the catwalk.
Student style
If you are from 18 to 25 years old, and likely a student, then you probably try different styles very often. You always try something different with your hairstyle and make-up as you follow the fast-changing fashion trends.
You are in that period of your life where you can support literally everything!
Hairstyles
You can support everything from cute space and sloppy buns to your natural hairstyle. However,every hairstyle must align with your mood!
Hairstyles
Since you can support literally everything, why not try something a little more extreme and fashion forward? Cut your hair like in a fashion editorial and stand out for your great sense of style.
Colour
You are in that age that you do not have to dye your hair to cover any unwelcomed white hair. So, do it right!
Try intense colours or complex techniques to cement your personal style and personality! However, always seek professional help when dying your hair, especially for the first time, as any accidental mistake on the technique might have a negative effect in case you want to try some hair techniques in the future.

Is there really a plant-based hair dye? The answer is yes, and it's called Henna.
Henna is a 100% plant-based hair dye, containing pigments directly sourced from nature and free from ammonia.
In contrast, other hair dyes marketed as natural have a base of plant ingredients but undergo chemical processing.
The differences between plant-based Henna dyes and ammonia-free dyes are significant.
Pharmacy hair dye products often fail to deliver promised results.
Inadequate coverage of grays, short color duration, and hair dehydration are some essential differences.
On the other hand, our recommendation is ammonia-free hair dyes.
They are cosmetic without compromising hair quality and health.
They ensure 100% coverage of grays and offer an extensive variety of shades, including popular red and copper tones.
These are the key differences between plant-based Henna dyes and ammonia-free dyes. Remember that a pharmacist specializes in drugs, while for your hair, you always trust your hairdresser, who knows precisely what your color needs!
Blonde hair is a favorite color for many women, but proper care requires the right routine.
If you have dyed blonde hair and want to maintain both the color and the health, follow the tips below for a proper care routine.
The moment you dye your hair blonde, you should immediately switch to products specifically designed for dyed blonde hair. The shampoo and conditioner you choose should be scalp-friendly, highly moisturizing, and help remove unwanted color tones.
Using Purple shampoo is crucial in your routine, or you can opt for a milder purple shampoo that can be used as regular shampoo.
Hair treatments are essential at least twice a week at home. Use a hair mask for blonde dyed hair and follow the package instructions for the best results.
Professional hair treatments at the salon by experts should be done at least once a month.
Frequent washing doesn't help in maintaining color or hair health. Limit washing to a maximum of 2 times a week to preserve the color.
Straighteners and curling irons can damage hair, especially when it's been colored, especially when not used correctly. For blonde hair care, minimizing or avoiding the use of heated styling tools is crucial.
This doesn't mean sacrificing your hairstyle. You can easily create heat-free hairstyles like wavy hair without using heat, braids, or hairstyles with scarves to protect your hair while looking stylish. Don't forget to apply a heat protection product when using heated styling tools!
Blonde color is challenging to achieve, especially when transitioning from dark to blonde hair. This transition requires proper diagnosis from a hair expert and technical expertise.
If you're thinking of going from brunette to blonde for the first time, try foilayage. Have patience. Transitioning to a very light blonde should be done gradually for consistent color and hair health.
This will give you a uniform color and keep your hair healthy.
