Party season is just around the corner. We're here to help all social butterflies sashay their way through their many invites with the hottest, most-covetable hair hues available. Be inspired...
Multi-facetted colour is a HUGE trend for the coming season – blondes should be looking to add dimension to flat colour with lashings of warm honey and cool ash tones. “I was inspired by a girl’s favourite jewel; diamonds,” says Colourists Rae Palmer. “I love the magical sparkle and the dreamy romantic way a diamond can have some many beautiful colour prism dimensions to it.”
