What else do you need to know?

The result that the girls are counting on will depend on the number of previously performed coloring procedures. The more often any shade is used, the richer and more beautiful each subsequent result will be.
Some beauty industry workers claim that each season has its own shades of hair. For example, for spring, all the tones of light brown are the best suited: from light to dark. But for summer, blond is a suitable shade.
