Keeping Your Hair Healthy During Every Big Change
Why Hair Health Comes First
A dramatic color shift, brand-new extensions, or a major chop should feel exciting—not stressful. But if the hair’s internal structure is weak, bleach won’t lift evenly, bonds can slip, and ends can fray.
That’s why every glow-up at Ella Rose starts with an Integrity-First Plan: science-backed treatments, smart scheduling, and take-home care that protect your investment long after you leave the chair.
1. Multi-Session Color: The Safe Route to Big Changes
| What We’re Talking About | Examples | Typical Timeline* |
| Dark-to-Light Blondes | Black ➜ Beige, Brunette ➜ Ash | 3–5 visits, 6-8 wks apart |
| Gray Blending / Silver | Solid brown ➜ Salt-and-pepper | 2–4 visits + toners |
| Vivids & Pastels | Copper ➜ Lilac, Brown ➜ Teal | 2–3 visits (pre-lighten, tone, vivid) |
Every head is unique; consultation required. In some cases, previously applied color can make certain results impossible until that color has fully grown out and been cut off.
Your stylist will guide you on what’s achievable for your hair and create the safest plan to get you there.

FAQ: Hair-Health & Major Makeovers
Q1. Can I do K18 and a Brazilian Blowout on the same day?
A. Space them at least two weeks apart so each can fully bond and your cuticle can reset.
Q2. How many K18 treatments do I need before a big blonding?
A. We recommend one in-salon treatment + 3–4 at-home uses (every other wash) prior to your first lightening session.
Q3. Will DreamCoat make my extensions slip?
A. No—our stylists avoid the root area; product stays mids-to-ends only.
Q4. What if my budget won’t allow all sessions at once?
A. We create phased plans—spreading appointments 6–8 weeks apart and prioritizing hair health
