The pros give their verdict on color-flash locks

You’ve made up your mind and are ready to take the plunge; this spring is going to be all about daring styles and colors. What better way to interpret this trend than a flash of color to liven up your look?
 
Brightly colored locks will give your style a unique touch that is acceptable for everyday wear. ‘This distinctive look works perfectly on the catwalk, yet is also ideal for extroverts who like to be the centre of attention with a neo-punk style. However, this color technique can be difficult to maintain due to the splash of color created at the roots. To replicate the runway style, you’ll need to modify your base color; lighten if you have dark hair and darken if you are blonde. After your color has been applied successfully, it’s all about looking after your new shade with specifically adapted products to keep it looking fresh and vibrant.
 
After you’ve committed to your new hue, it will be difficult to reverse the process. ‘This color treatment is fairly complex to achieve and requires several different steps to get the desired end-result. Make sure you go to a color specialist who will be able to manage your hairstyle change with ease. Unfortunately, the end-result is never 100% guaranteed as every person’s hair differs slightly’.
 
Our advice: Whether you opt for red, blue or green roots, you’ll need to commit to looking after your bright shade to ensure it remains glossy and salon-fresh. Try incorporating products from the Color Therapy range into your haircare routine. 2-3 times per week, wash your locks with 100% Color Intense shampoo to nourish your hair and revive your bold color.
