Rich hues of colour are the go-to trend for the season. Be they rich reds or bright blonds; accelerate your resolutions this year by taking some hair risks. Be sure to consult a hairstylist on the right shade of hair colour for your skin tone and hair type. The perfect colour pick can transform any look from mediocre to extraordinary in seconds. Tap into the trend with your Under the Dryer team this week as we join hairstylist Vonessa Smith from Vonessa’s Hair Salon, who shows us how to get the look.

STYLE TIP:

Stretch your colour:

One day before: Pump moisture into hair with a hydrating mask. When your hair is hydrated, the colour takes more evenly, which means it’ll look vibrant longer.

The day after: Use a colour-protective, sulfate-free shampoo (sulfates are lathering agents that can strip your colour).

One week later: Pamper your hair with weekly deep conditioning treatments.
