How do you like the current state of your hair?
If you have issues with moisture breakage or shedding NOW, you are More than likely NOT a good candidate for color.
Your Hair Must Start at a Healthy State before your first color service
How Committed are you to maintanence?
It is important to have your hair treated and assessed atleast 1-2 weeks before color, and treated 2-4 weeks after color
How committed are you to your curl pattern? - When going lighter into blondes and platinum color, you will more than likely Loosen your curl pattern.
How do I decide What Color to go for ?

When Looking For Color Goals, it is important to look for people who have close to the same skin tone, curl pattern, and length,
Lookin at people that look similar to you will give you those most realistic projection of what the Hair Color will Look Like on you.
Always see your Professional for a Color consultation before booking, pick a professional who has familiarity with coloring, especially hair texture like yours
Know Your Color History, how long ago you colored your hair & what color you have been-- this will most likely leave or be the undertone of your next color
Do You have dark hair & want to be Blond? Unless you have Virgin Hair(hair that has never been colored) You will Most likely have to Book multiple sessions to achieve blond hair.

Maintenance

After Your First Color: Deep Condition your hair atleast 2x a month
Use a Bond Builder and/or Use Protein treatments to restore strength 1x a month
Lower Your Usage of direct heat (flat irons, direct blow drying) Hair color makes the hair more porous-more prone to breakage
Use atleast 2x more moisturizer products; leave-in conditioners, heat protectants, oils, styling creams
Only shampoo and condition with Sulfate Free Products
When washing the hair, use luke warm to cool water to prevent color from fading out quickly
Always sleep with a satin scarf, satin bonnet, satin pillow case
