Simon Cox, managing director of Clipso St Albans and Sara Stockley, colour specialist at Clipso St Albans, share their top tips to recreate Vanessa Hudgens new fiery hue, perfectly suited to the new season and clients looking to amp up their look for Autumn.
Colour
1.Starting with the roots, use more of a natural depth colour and apply by dragging with the edge of a tint brush, as this allows a softer edge and encourages the colour to blend.
2.With the mid-lengths use a dark red colour. Start applying the colour with a tint brush then start twisting the colour with your fingers through the hair. Start from where you have applied colour on the end of the roots to the beginning of the mid-length section.
3.For the ends, use a pre-lightener and repeat the twisting effect so all colours naturally blend. Finish by applying a red toner for maximum brightness.
Cut
1. The baseline of this look will have blunt cut. It's after when you can add the softness and shattered effect on the ends.
2. I would do this by lightly razor cutting to create the shattered effect; I would also repeat this with longer layers, still using a razor to keep the length. This will also allow you to keep the weight in shape without losing the heavy top shape.
