Global hair colour is one of the most popular salon services today. Whether you love natural brown, rich chocolate, glossy black, ash tones, or blonde shades — global colour instantly gives your hair a polished, uniform, and refreshed look.
But while the treatment is simple, small mistakes can ruin the final result — leading to brassiness, patchiness, dryness, or unexpected shades.
In this expert guide, Kapils Salon reveals the top mistakes to avoid when getting global hair colour, so you achieve long-lasting, salon-quality results every time.
1. Choosing a Shade Only Because It Looks Good on Someone Else
One of the biggest mistakes is picking a colour from Instagram or Pinterest without considering:
- Your skin tone
- Your undertone (warm, cool, neutral)
- Your natural hair colour
- Your hair history (bleach, henna, colour)
A colour that looks stunning on someone else may look flat or too warm/cool on you.
✔ Expert Tip
Always book a colour consultation at Kapils Salon. Our stylists help you choose the perfect shade for your skin tone and lifestyle — so you never regret your colour choice.
2. Ignoring Your Hair’s Past Colour or Chemical History
Your previous treatments affect your final result.
Mistakes include:
❌ Not mentioning henna use
❌ Previous black/box colour
❌ Rebonding or keratin history
❌ Bleach done at home
❌ Colour done at a non-professional salon
These can cause:
- Uneven colour
- Unexpected undertones
- Patchiness
- Faster fading
✔ Expert Tip
Always be honest about your hair history. It helps your stylist decide the right formula, base shade, and processing time.
4. Choosing Shades That Don’t Match Your Undertone
Warm skin + cool ash colour = Greyish, washed-out look
Cool skin + warm brown colour = Orange/brassy result
✔ Expert Tip
Your perfect global hair colour should match your natural undertone.
At Kapils Salon, our colourists perform a skin undertone analysis before selecting shades.
5. Not Doing a Patch Test
Skipping a patch test can lead to:
- Allergies
- Scalp irritation
- Redness or itching
Even premium colours can cause reactions if you have sensitive skin.
✔ Expert Tip
At Kapils Salon, patch tests are recommended for everyone — especially new clients or first-time colour users.
6. Washing Hair Just Before Your Appointment
Freshly washed hair removes natural oils that protect your scalp during colouring.
Mistake:
❌ Washing hair the same morning
❌ Using harsh shampoos beforehand
✔ Expert Tip
Avoid washing hair 24–48 hours before your global hair colour session.
7. Expecting Permanent Results from Global Hair Colour
Global colour eventually fades — especially lighter tones.
Factors that speed up fading:
- Frequent washing
- Chlorine in water
- Heat styling
- Over-sun exposure
✔ Expert Tip
Use colour-safe shampoo, sulfate-free products, and schedule regular toning sessions to maintain vibrancy.
8. Doing Global Hair Colour at Home
Box colours are unpredictable. Risks include:
- Uneven application
- Incorrect mixing ratios
- Hot roots
- Brassiness
- Overprocessed ends
- Patchy finish
You may end up paying more for a colour correction later.
✔ Expert Tip
Visit a professional salon like Kapils Salon for controlled, safe, long-lasting results using premium global colours.
9. Skipping Aftercare
Even the best global hair colour won’t last if aftercare is poor.
Common mistakes:
❌ Using sulfate shampoos
❌ Not hydrating the hair
❌ Excessive heat styling
❌ Not using UV protection
✔ Expert Tip
Our colourists recommend a personalized Colour Care Routine based on your shade — ensuring shine, intensity, and longevity.
10. Not Choosing the Right Salon
Your final colour result depends heavily on:
- Stylist expertise
- Professional products
- Correct shade formulation
- Proper processing time
