Deeper in the winter, lighter in the summer — each season, we abide by this cycle as we follow what the sun naturally does to our hair. For this reason, it’s only natural that we experiment with brighter and sometimes bolder colors during the summer months. This year, as we’ve seen an increase in the use of fashion or pastel shades, we’ll see blushing pink tones taking over — especially this Platinum Rose shade created with Wella Professionals BlondorPlex and Blondor Permanent Liquid Toner. Below we’re discussing why we love this trend and even letting you know how to get the look.
Achieve The Perfect Blush
While we could easily argue that pink is a shade that looks stunning year-round, we especially love the look to instantly brighten your summer style. From bolder renditions to a touch of rose, pink is sure to make anyone blush. The key to getting the look is by pre-lightening the hair. For this reason, utilizing Wella Professionals Blondorplex is ideal. With built-in bond-building technology Wella Professionals BlondorPlex provides up to 9 levels of lift and with up to 97% less breakage*. Its anti-yellow molecules also help prep the hair by cutting down on orange/yellow undertones, leaving you with a neutral base so that your platinum rose really shines! *When using Wellaplex N°2 with Blondorplex, versus Blondorplex alone.
From here, Wella Professionals Blondor Permanent Liquid Toners perfect, enhance and adjust the tone after a lightening service to neutralize warmth and the perfect blush. With its non-progressive color that won’t over-deposit, simply develop up to 10 minutes for pastels (with 1.9%) and up to 30 minutes (with 3%) for base toning.
Get The Look: Platinum Rose Step By Step
Step 1: For extra care apply Wella Professionals Marula Oil Scalp Primer before application.
Step 2: Pre-lighten using Wella Professionals Soft Blonde Cream 40g + 60g 6% on the roots and Wella Professionals BlondorPlex: 40g + 60g 6% throughout the mids to ends. Bring the entire head to yellow or up to 50 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse, and then treat with Wella Professionals WellaPlex No. 2. Then, Shampoo.
Step 4. On damp hair apply toner formula Wella Professionals Blondor Permanent Liquid Toner /05 60g + 120 1.9%.
*pro-tip: As an add-on service or to enhance color and shine between appointments, apply a Wella Professionals Shinefinity treatment with a touch of sheer pink or simply in clear for up to 250% shinier hair* and a luxurious finish! *vs. untreated bleached hair.
How to Care for Pink Hair:
After achieving the look, a degree of upkeep is required to keep the color looking its best all season long. Because lighter colored hair can become discolored with exposure to UV rays, salt, chlorine and even heat styling, regular Wella Professionals Shinefinity treatments should be scheduled.
