Unicorn hair continues to be popular with media influencers and celebrities embracing the big, bright, colour hair.
Zara Lynch, colour expert at Salon Services UK & Ireland, gives these steps to get the look.
Preparation
For the pre-lightening mix, mix Blonde Studio Freehand Powder with L'Oreal Professionnel Cream Oxydant 20 vol in a 1:1.5 ratio
For the mid-lengths and ends, you'll need the following colours:
Caribbean Blue
Hypnotic Magenta
Mix of Hypnotic Magenta + Crystal Clear 1:2 mixing ratio
Step 1
To create random pieces of light through the hair, start by applying the pre-lightening mix into areas that accentuate the client's face shape. Leave the pre-lightening mix on the hair to develop up to 50 minutes, or until the desired undercoat is achieved. Make sure to rinse thoroughly, then shampoo but do not condition.
Step 2
Next, apply your three mixes in alternate sections, to create a colour-popping unicorn effect. Leave the colour to develop for 20 minutes, then rinse the hair but do not shampoo or condition.
Step 3
To give the newly colours hair some extra bounce, prep the hair with Tecni.Art Dual Styler Bouncy & Tender, then finish with Mythic Oil.
#COLOURFULHAIR by L'Oreal Professionnel is available exclusively through Salon Services until the end of June.
