LET COLOURED HAIR AND HIGHLIGHTS LIFT YOUR MOOD

- (With inputs from experts Christophe Robin and Melroy Dickson)

Just like you use makeup to enhance your facial features, hair colour can also be used cleverly to complement and enhance your overall appearance. In fact, experts say that one of the easiest ways to amp up your personalit­y or break the monotony is to change your hair colour. Hairdresse­rs and consumers are always on the lookout for new ways of highlighti­ng hair. Here are some options to consider and tips for after-care.

One of the coolest highlighti­ng techniques is the ‘sun kiss’ — a natural result of highlighti­ng, when it seems like the sun has been playing with your Balayage. It is usually better to have a smooth and light result on the roots and a stronger highlight along the length. The colour melting technique looks beautiful on Indian skin tones. Colours blend into each other so seamlessly that one can’t tell where one colour ends and the other begins.

One of the best highlighti­ng technique is hair painting with a brush.

An ideal hair care regimen to maintain highlights would include using a colour protect shampoo.

For shine and longevity of hair colour, rinse your hair with a small amount of vinegar diluted in a bowl of fresh water. Vinegar coats the hair fibre, preventing the colour from fading and boosting its brilliance.

TO MAINTAIN THE COLOUR AND RADIANCE OF HAIR, DON’T FORGET TO USE A COLOUR PROTECT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONE­R
