Feel the warmth

Ok so let us now finally discuss some current color trends. The main overall theme? Warmth. The days of ashy platinum are sort of gone. I say sort of, because it isn't completely dead, and some may still prefer it. But what you now see a whole lot of are beautiful warm tones. Caramel, bronze, and and other sunset inspired tones are everywhere you look. This is wonderful news as far as the health of your hair is concerned. That platinum color requires far more bleaching, meaning far more damage.

Technique has also changed. No longer is it necessary to get those right to the root perfect highlights. Melted hair, and ombre hair are still kicking and only getting bigger! This is when you hair gets gradually lighter as it goes from root to end. It almost looks like you just have regrowth, but better. I am sure you have all seen it. This is my FAVORITE. I love the look. It can vary from natural to extreme. I love it all. There are also ways of doing a variation of this look an short hair by putting some caramel underneath towards the ends. So don't think only long haired beauties get to have the fun. This is also wonderful because it is lower maintenance, and more natural.

I always promote dimension. Whether you get it through highlights, melting, or even some fun panels, you should have some dimension going on. It is beautiful and will enhance your features a million times! Overall we are in a season of warmth, dimension, and a more natural look. Have some fun with it! Try something new! Branch out from your solid all over color of perfectly placed highlights. There are endless ways to spice it up this summer.
