Maintenance is a must

Hair colour like Venus Williams’ is accompanied by a lot of maintenance and procedure; much more than one would require when they’re colouring their hair — say, red or brown. You need to first depigment your hair completely, and then apply the pigments. It takes a really long time to get that accurate shade on Indian hair because our hair is rich in red pigments that are naturally resistant. Even after your hair lifts it, the colour will start wearing off after a week or so. You will have to pigment it all over again so that it looks fresh.
