Hair Colour Ideas For Afro, Multi-Textured & Curly Hair at Afrotherapy Hair Salon, North London

When it comes to colouring afro hair, choosing the right shade and technique is essential for maintaining the health and integrity of your curls. Afro hair tends to be fine and more fragile than other hair types, meaning extra caution is needed to avoid damage. At our salon, our expert team has the skills, experience, and professional techniques to ensure your colour is applied safely and beautifully, leaving your hair vibrant and healthy.

From bold blondes and fiery reds to quirky oranges and fashion-forward hues, our colour specialists can help you find the perfect shade to complement your style. Whether you're looking for subtle highlights, lowlights, root touch-ups, or a full-head transformation, we tailor our approach to suit your individual hair type and desired result. Since afro hair is naturally black or dark brown, achieving lighter tones requires a gradual and careful process to avoid excessive damage. Our team will guide you through the best options, ensuring your hair remains strong and nourished.

Colouring Afro Hair

Every colour journey starts with a consultation.

We'll look at your current colour, curl pattern, hair condition and any previous chemical treatments. We'll also talk about how you normally look after your hair and how much maintenance you're comfortable with. If you've saved photos of colours you like, bring them along. They are a great way to show your stylist what you're drawn to, even if we need to adapt the look to suit your own hair.

Most importantly, we'll tell you what we think is achievable. If getting from dark hair to a much lighter shade needs to happen gradually, we'll explain why and talk you through the options. Our colour gallery gives you the chance to see examples of colour we've created on different hair textures, lengths and styles.

A skin test is required at least 48 hours before colouring services.

What Hair Colours Can You Have?

There's no single colour or technique that works for everyone, so we look at the shade, technique and condition of your hair together.

Covering Grey Afro Hair 

Whether you want to cover your grey completely, blend it into your existing colour or start transitioning towards your natural silver, we can help you find an approach that suits you.

You might prefer regular root touch-ups for consistent coverage, or you may be ready to embrace your natural salt and pepper hair and gradually reduce the need for colour. Grey blending can help soften the contrast between your natural growth and coloured hair, creating a more seamless transition.

Depending on your hair and the look you're after, we might use techniques such as highlights, lowlights, glosses or carefully chosen colour to blend your natural grey with your existing shade.

Lightening Afro Hair

Going lighter can be more involved when your starting point is naturally dark hair, particularly if your hair has been coloured or chemically treated before.

Rather than promising that every shade is possible in one appointment, we'll assess your hair first. If your desired colour needs to be achieved gradually, we'll explain what that process could look like and how we can help keep your hair in good condition along the way.

Your hair's condition comes first.

Colouring Relaxed or Chemically Treated Hair

If your hair is relaxed, has had texture release, or has been chemically treated in the past, it's important that your stylist knows its history before colour is applied. Previous chemical services can affect how your hair responds to colour and lightening. That's why we'll ask about what you've had done, when you had it done and how your hair has been cared for since.

If we feel your hair needs some extra preparation before colouring, we may recommend a suitable conditioning or strengthening treatment first.

FAQs

How much is it for a full head tint?

Do you offer hair colour correction services?

«

Yes, we are experts in corrective hair colouring. No matter if you have unwanted brassy tones, warm tones in the hair or have had a bleach dye gone wrong.

How can I prevent colour fading in my Afro hair?

«

To prevent colour fading in Afro hair, follow these tips:

  • Use sulfate-free shampoos, which are gentler and less likely to strip the colour.
  • Schedule regular touch-ups to maintain colour vibrancy, especially for bright or bold shades.
  • Protect your hair while swimming. Chlorine and salt water can strip colour, so wear a swim cap or rinse and condition your hair immediately after swimming.

Can I dye my natural Afro hair without damaging it?

«

Yes, you can dye your natural Afro hair without causing damage. We highly recommend you visit us for a hair colour consultation prior to your appointment so we can discuss the look and shade you desire.

How do I maintain my hair colour and keep it vibrant?

«

To maintain vibrant hair colour, use shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for colour-treated hair. Your Afrotherapy hair stylist will happily suggest the best products for you and your hair type.

Wash your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot, as hot water can cause the colour to fade faster. Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment once a week and use leave-in conditioners or colour-protecting sprays. Avoid excessive heat styling and always use a heat protectant when you do.

Why choose Afrotherapy for afro hair colour?

«

While it is possible to dye your hair at home, it is advised you visit one of our professional hair colourists, especially for complex colour changes. We have the skills, knowledge and experince to deliver a range of looks using both traditional and modern techniques.

 

My afro hair is damaged, can I have hair colour?

«

If your afro or textured hair is damaged it is importnant to have treatments to strengthen your hair and deep conditioning masks to replenish moisture. We recommend you pop into the salon for a consultation to chat with our experinced hair stylists. they will then be able to give you realistic expectations of what can be achived.

Can I go from black or dark brown hair to blonde?

«

It is possible, but it may not be best done in one appointment. Lightening dark hair can take several stages, especially if it's been coloured or chemically treated before. We'll assess your hair and give you realistic advice before starting.

Do I need a skin test before hair colour?

«

Yes. A skin test is required at least 48 hours before colouring services.
