It’s time to freshen ourselves up as we jump into spring! The flowers are blooming, the sun is attempting to make an appearance, and we are coming out of our hibernation. Nothing makes you feel better about yourself than a fresh color, covering up the old or brightening the drab. So you ask, What’s hot? How do I choose? What do I do with my existing color?
Always do your research by scanning this seasons hottest magazines for some color ideas. You always have to remember that a lot of editorial pictures can include extensions which allow the color to pop more which is unrealistic in natural hair. Bring several options with you to show to your stylist because all may not be suitable for your skin tone. Your stylist may have some great ideas for you with new techniques or color palette choices from a recent color class or hair show. Always trust your colorist in choosing the correct tones that will be perfectly matched with you.
Big changes can be made in steps, making it a great transformation over a span of several seasons. So get to the blonde, blonde, blonde at the end of summer. Be the ever changing blonde combining tones to include different dimensions, reaching it’s full potential by the end of the season. The same can go for any color. Red heads can change all hues from honey tones to copper tones and plan your deep winter red, red tones. By working towards a goal you can have so much fun in the process, be ever changing and treat your hair in a gentle manner.
What’s hot? Brightening your browns with warm hues of honey to create an all over lighter golden hued brown. Take your left over winter blonde to a warm vanilla blonde to soften and tone your look for spring. Banding- brighten the front section around your face with a lighter shade of color blending it with highlights to the back or using a complimentary color. Whatever you do, freshen yourself with a new pop of spring color and you will feel renewed!
