Teal Highlights in your brown hair
Teal highlights are a great change of look for your brown hair if you are willing to take the risk.
Usually seen as boring and common, brown hair is a great hair color all by itself with all its under tones and natural highlights when it is under the direct sun light, applying teal highlights to it will allow you to dress it up and make it more your own.
Do not pay attention to what other people may say, make your actions and your hair and make it your own and you can also show them how versatile and fun to work with brown hair can be.
Take into notice that you should not automatically assume that the hair look you have in mind will be with the end results, or rather, do not be so sure that the end results you have in mind for your brown hair with highlights is how the teal highlights are going to look because if you think about it, people think that it will look ugly just because it’ll seem fake and unnatural, but the truth is that we believe that is the point of purple highlights, to take something most people believe will look bad and showing them that they are a great option for your change of look.
Another bright side of using this color for your highlights is that little kids are going to love you! They are going to look up at you and actually believe that you are a real fairy.
Brown hair has plenty of choices if you want a change
Having teal highlights can make a huge difference in the way your hair looks but without completely changing it, in short, you can have a makeover without any rash decision of dying the completion of your hair.
You can add a few bright colored teal highlights on chocolate brown hair and you can be sure that there will not be a better color combination as it works with both cool and wars tones creating an amazing contrast, it professionally uses a mixture of the cool tones of the teal highlights and the warmth of the brown hair.
If what you are actually looking for is a ‘more natural’ look, you can try finding a teal tone that matches your natural brown hair, for example, you can use darker highlights that are almost identical to your base color.
These subtle highlights will not completely stand out when you are inside, but one you step out into the direct sun light you will be able to watch them come to life with different beautiful hues.
Black hair can, if possible, look even better with teal highlights
Teal is a great color choice to apply to your black hair, it will allow you to have a great contrast between the two colors and it is also a very well known trend that has been going on for the last few years and without any doubt it would look perfect.
Black hair with teal highlights will reflect a young style, it could perhaps be a little gothic but with great dynamism, strength and will add plenty of light to the face.
Several aspects must be taken into consideration before dyeing your hair. The first is to consider that if your black hair is natural –or virgin- or if it has been dyed before, the procedure will be different with both of this cases.
If you have virgin hair, the colors will be seen just like the advertisement but if your hair has been dyed before then this will make the color to look a little darker and more vibrant. All this has an explanation, it all depends on how the chemicals react to your hair, it will obviously react differently to a hair that has been dyes before to one that is “new”, or has not been dyed.
Moreover, another aspect to take into consideration is the time that the process is going to take, many people have the thought that discoloration and coloration of hair can all happen in the same salon date, or day when it’s not like that.
Professional hairstylist recommend that the discoloring and the coloring are done with 5 to 6 days apart. This recommendation happens because that amount of time your hair should have recovered from the damage that the discoloration process has caused and will be better to apply your teal highlights over healthy hair.

One of the advantages that blonde hair has over any other hair color at the moment of applying fantasy colors to it is that the discoloration process is either not needed, or needed for less time than with other hair colors so the damage is not as aggressive.
Take into consideration that the process can be difficult, and we recommend for you to leave it at the hands of a professional that will take care of your hair, both to keep it strong and healthy as well as to have the best possible results.
Every hair salon should have at least one person that knows about this process and can apply it the correct way, whether you want the traditional foil highlights or a simpler and less intense for the eye technique such like balayage highlights.

For example, you can mix them with purple highlights and this will give you what we call ‘peacock highlights’ it is as simple as telling your hairstylist to alternate applying the purple and teal highlights so they can look even throughout the whole head.
Before dyeing your hair, you should know about some side effects
Nowadays, the hair dyes we use to dye our hair are not exactly known for being good for your hair, actually, they can actually have harmful side effects that you probably did not know about.
Most of these hair dyes have peroxide, which breaks through your hair and bleaches out your natural pigment, stripping away its color so you can on add the color on top, the process essentially damages your hair, literally breaking its structure to eliminate the color.
If you exaggerate these processes on your hair you will be only adding up and end up with a hair that is very easy to break
It can of course be revived, but only to a certain extent. Do not expect to apply hair treatments and for it to be magically in perfect health in the next ten minute. Once you dye your hair there is quite literally not turning back to virgin hair (not dyed hair)
And of course there is always the risk of having an allergic reaction that can lead you to end up with irritation, itching, redness or swelling of the areas that have contact with the hair dye.
And even though this is not technically a side effect, people need to be consent of the maintenance that highlights can lead to. Plenty of people don’t realize that besides taking care of your hair you need to maintain its color and beautiful effect by going regularly to the hair salon to get retouches.
Once it is highlighted, taking care of your hair is the best thing you can do
Now that your hair has beautiful highlights, it is time for you to take care of it so it does not get all dry and numb thanks to the chemicals used during the process of application. Thankfully you have plenty of choices and products to take care of your hair and allow it to be as healthy, beautiful and alive as possible.
The first thing is that you should consider using a special shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for dyed hair, get rid of the old ones and surround yourself with color treatment hair care products.
It is also good to not wash your hair every day, this works in two ways; the first is that it helps maintaining your hair healthy and secondly, the less you wash your hair the less you wash away the hair dye.
Never jump the conditioner step! Your hair will need as much hydration as you can give to him after dyeing, you should also leave it on your hair for a couple of minutes for maximum effect.
