Caroline flack goes platinum

Love it or hate it, Caroline Flack's new 'Scandi' inspired shade is certainly causing a stir!

We spoke to Claire Chell, Creative Colour Director at the Francesco Group to find how to get long lasting results for your client;

'Caroline is a cool skin tone and typically suits an element of depth to her hair colour, so this is a really daring new look for her.

With most clients preferring to toe things down for the colder months, this look makes her stand out from the crowd and the sharp wavy bob is perfect for her face shape. 

Heavily lightened hair can show up a multitude of sins, so when Caroline revealed her new blonde look on Saturday night heavily gelled and slicked back, I'm sure every hairdresser would agree, our hearts were in our mouths as it revealed uneven tones and looked like her condition can been comprised.

However, faith was restored on the Sunday night show where her hair had been re-toned, conditioned and dressed out into a sophisticated style.

If you're looking to recreate this look in salon, the first thing to take into consideration is the effect on the hairs condition.

Emphasise the importance of regular conditioning treatments to the client as well as the upkeep and repeat appointments.

Honesty is the best policy when going lighter, and condition can really effect the final outcome.

If you’re unsure if the hair condition can take intense lightening, always test the hair first and give your client a full at home maintenance routine to ensure they get long lasting results.

Blondes reveal warmth easily so always recommend a silver toning shampoo for any blonde to use at home.'
