Why You Need to Do a Strand Test, and How

Master Colorist Chelsea Smith shows us how to do a strand test at home, and why you need to. Strand tests are particularly important when switching to a new color, coloring for the first time, or lightening your hair. Doing a strand test for lightening your hair is a little more involved than for regular permanent hair color, but it’s still relatively easy (and oh-so worth it). To show you just how easy it is to do your own at-home hair strand test, we talked to Chelsea Smith, Master Colorist, about why a strand test is important, and how to do one for our Light Works™ Balayage Highlighting Kit.
