“Very Peri delicately mixes reds and blues to create a periwinkle vanish," says London's Brooks & Brooks Artistic Director Marlon Hawkins on why he loves the new Pantone Colour of the Year. "This mix of cool and warm makes this shade unique and I love it.” Here's how to achieve the look for clients this summer:
- Get a clean canvas with optimum condition, starting with L’Oreal Metal Detox to neutralize any metal build up on the hair to stop breakage and help achieve more accurate color results.
- For the global pre-lighter use L’Oreal Blond Studio 8 levels and lift for 50 minutes. It’s important to pre-tone the hair helping get a perfect target shade. I used Loreal Dia-Light 10.02 to neutralize and vanish the raw lifted blonde.
- Color Formula: Majirel glow, L.22 (18g), Majirel Blue (2g) and Clear (10g) developed for 20 minutes. Glow has a beautiful shimmery finish that really brings this Pantone to life.
- Apply Redken One United and L’Oreal Tecniart Pli and wrap dried the hair with a paddle brush making sure there are no partings in the hair while smoothing out the length and ends. Then gently run a flat-iron throughout for a polished finish.
