Colour theory

As the saying goes, blondes have more fun, but experts say otherwise. ‘There’s no way to tell anything about anyone who chooses a particular hair colour,’ says Ess. ‘Over the years, I’ve heard it all – lighter highlights make them feel happier; darker, richer colours make them feel more powerful; warmer tones make them feel sexier.… and I’ve heard the complete opposite – people tell me they never knew their authentic self until they had pink hair, because seeing themselves that way was a catalyst for an internal shift.’ Bottom line: be you. Try new things, have fun, and you’ll learn in the process what feels right.
