When you visit the Colour & Co website, you have the option to take the colour quiz or have a free consultation with a colourist. I got to do both.
Colour Quiz
The colour quiz asks you a series of questions to then recommend a colour for you. During my colour quiz, I went through a series of questions about my current hair colour, the history of what colours I've dyed it in the past, and the colour I wished to have before showing me a grid of hair-colour options, which highlighted the Colour & Co recommendations. Throughout the quiz, I hoped I would be suggested a blue-black, and I was!
Consultation
For the consultation, I got to speak with Troy, who has 30 years of hair-colour experience. We met virtually with cameras on so he could see my hair. After we spoke about our love for fashion colours, I mentioned that I wanted blue-black hair but didn't really get as much blue as I wanted. That's when he recommended something I'd never thought of. He recommended I use two packs of colour. For my curly hair, it made perfect sense. Usually, I feel like I have to squeeze the product to get to the very last drop to make sure it covers all of my hair, so having two packs of colour made perfect sense. He also recommended that I use a colour gloss to maximise the amount of blue I could get and the replenishing conditioner to keep my hair hydrated.
Tip: Troy let me know that the only way to get two packs of colour in one order is through a consultation, so if you have a lot of hair (especially if it's curly), you might want to do a consultation with a stylist.
