This week I’ve chosen a beautiful creative color to talk about called magenta ombre. This is an amazing color. Leaving your roots natural (a medium to dark brown) and blended a magenta red into the ends. The magenta lightens the hair at the same time as coloring it so that means there is no need for bleach! Perfect for keeping your hair in great condition, or on hair that is a little more fragile and you don’t want to bleach it. As you can see it turns out pretty vibrant even on quite dark hair. It is also fairly well lasting. Being an ombre (where the color is only on the mid lengths and ends), this look suits almost everybody!
Maintenance:
NO ROOTS! Yay! However, being a vibrant color, it does fade on the ends after a couple of weeks. You can either come in for a toner and brighten it back up or a better and cheaper option is using Evo Fabuloso in Red, used once a week it will brighten it back up again.
You will need a salon shampoo & conditioner so the color isn’t stripped out in the wash (reds always fade faster anyway so you don’t need to help this along with a supermarket shampoo). Also a heat protection like Davines All In One Milk will be amazing. It does everything (hence the name) but most importantly protects from heated tools and UV rays…the number one hair colour stripper!
Who will it suit?
This color is pretty versatile as the majority is mostly away from your face with the bright bits being down the end of the hair. Being a pink based color it might not be great for someone who has very flushed cheeks but those with just rosy cheeks can get away with it. It also looks great if you have pale skin. It is perfect if you have GREEN or BLUE eyes as it really makes them ‘pop’ (brings out the color).
What to wear?
This probably wouldn’t be the best color or you if you wear a lot of reds or oranges as the color will clash, and not in a good way! Having said that, if you really love this color because the color is down the ends, you can always get around it by wearing your hair up in a cute bun so your hair isn’t near your clothing. As with eye color, this color looks great on blue or green or any darker colored clothing.
