Working with color this season isn’t just about picking a shade. The placement is paramount as well. In the spring and summer months, 2023 will see a resurgence in pastel tones and fashion shades. The modernize the look, we’ll see color used in new, creative ways like the gorgeous result International Artistic Director at Rainbow Room International Suzie McGill achieved. As an ideal tone for spring/summer, Suzie is predicting lavender hues as a huge trend this season. She suggests pairing them with clean blondes or ashy tones to create a finished look that really pops. Read on to hear exactly how she made the look.
The Steps
- The first step in creating this look was pre-lightening the hair to help achieve a clean, even blonde. The hair was pre-lightened with BlondME 2% to create a beautiful platinum base.
- We then toned it down using 9,5-1 Vibrance to create a super ashy, almost grey/silver tone with no signs of brassiness.
- I dried the hair into spikes to elevate the hair and to allow the colour I was about to apply, stand out even further.
- I carefully and visually toned the ends of the spikes with BlondMe toning lilac and ice to finish off the look creating a chic/punk image.
- I then finished by setting the hair with a strong hold hairspray to lock the look in place and add extra shine to the hair. One of my favourites for achieving ultimate hold is the Schwarzkopf Osis+ Freeze Fix Strong Hold Hair Spray.
