Hair Color

MatrixMan · 09-16-2005, 11:36 PM

I am a relatively new tanner, and I just had a quick question about the color of my hair. In the winter time my hair is a medium red, but in the summer, my hair turns to a light and bright blonde with some light red highlights. (not doing anything different to my hair in the summer) So I was wondering, will the tanning bed do the same to my hair, and keep the bright blond, or will it fade back to red? THANKS!

I have naturally blonde hair and ever since i started tanning it has turned plaitnum blonde..I think the uv rays just like the sun tend to lighten your hair

sure does...

I've been a hair stylist for 22 years and the uv rays will for sure lighten your hair, if you want to keep it darker just use a cap. Of coarse tanning in a bed in the winter should keep you the lighter of the two.

My hair always stays "highlighted" blonde from the tanning bed and tends to get darker when I don't tan BUT the tanner also seems to really dry out my hair!

Well my hair isnt getting dry, but it sure is getting lighter!

if you dont want to lose your color or keep hair from drying out...purchase a tannie cap ...from your local tanning salon.

I have a client that puts her color on, comes down and tans in the stand up. She swears it helps the color to be better. Go figure.

I have naturally strawberry blonde, and when I am tanning quite a bit my blonde tends to get brassy. I have to use the shimmering lights (purple shampoo) to keep the blonde blonde.
