MARBELLA LIGHTS
2017 was the year for platinum-ashy blondes. This summer is a complete contrast… 2018 is the year for warmer, golden-honey tones, giving a glossier and richer look to all over colour or highlights. Don´t be afraid of a warmer-blonde tone. People think they can´t pull off warm colours or think they are “brassy”, but just like any colour, there are so many variations. If you are looking to go for the change, make sure you´re diligent about the up keep. Maintenance is key when revamping your colour. It is important to continuously use a colour-safe conditioner that moisturises hair. Salon Director Bryan of London & Co, The One recommends “Davines” MINU Illuminating Protective Conditioner for Coloured Hair.
OMBRE
It seems to be as popular as ever, with multi-variations of depth, tone and blending through the hair´s length… Hello once again to the ombré. However, this year, there seems to be a lot more caramel tones about. Embracing rich, darker hues and complementing them with just a touch of lightness. A mélange of dark browns and light browns is great for warming the complexion without the commitment of a full colour… and the best thing about it? You don’t have to retouch it as much as you would a full colour.
BRAIDS & PLAITS
Braids and plaits are so versatile, from the neat and classic chignon types to the messy, beachy, hippy, mermaid styles. An unbelievable amount of different styles are being seen all over the globe with more and more variations being invented all the time. “Here at London & Co The One For Her we have been doing a lot of wedding hair, so a classic chignon updo for the brides. For the rest of the group who want to look their best for the day we have been doing bouncy blows and beachy type braids and soft, loose chignons,” Bryan added.
