Light & Bright: These Are Your Summer Hair Colour Must-Haves

From the longer days to the sunshine and gorgeous sunsets, the summer season has always been about light — so it only makes sense that you would want to add more to your hairstyle.

Right now, everyone is shedding their winter layers in favor of summer linens and strappy sandals, and at the same time, booking salon appointments to go lighter and brighter. After what feels like a very long cold spell, we’ve finally reached blonding season. Whether you’re adding a sun-kissed glow or making your blonde extra beachy, these are some of our favourite summer hair colour must-haves.

With the latest in hair colour innovation, you’re now able to get light and bright results in less time and with less damage. While you can chat with your stylist about the specifics, there are a few routes you can take in your blonding journey this season.

The more traditional route involves utilising a bleach like ULTIMATE.LIGHTER — which can lift up to 9 levels and includes bond protection for bright yet protected results. Once the level is achieved, they can then tone using GLOSS.

If you want to try something different, BLONDE HIGH.LIFT is a service that lightens and tones in one. A permanent hair colour option (making it ideal for grey coverage) it can lift up to 5 levels and neutralise to save time and cut down on the use of bleach.

No matter which lifting route you’re taking, GLOSS is a must-have following any service and is ideal as a touch-up between regular colouring appointments. As a colour and a treatment in one, GLOSS is formulated with KM.BOND2 and Vitamin C to perfect tone and reconstruct your strands for stronger, thicker hair with a high dose of shine and condition.

Once your tone and desired level of blonde is achieved, it’s up to you to keep it up between appointments. The best way to do this is by swapping out your go-to hair care for ranges that were created specifically for colour-treated hair like BLONDE and EVERLASTING.COLOUR.

If your biggest complaint is brassiness or yellowing, having BLONDE.ANGEL.WASH + BLONDE.ANGEL on hand is a must. Use this shampoo and treatment once a week or as needed to add a healthy cool wash over your blonde or highlighted brunette, this purple-hued range will leave hair supremely cool and utterly brilliant.

As an everyday addition to your shower routine, EVERLASTING.COLOUR WASH, RINSE and LEAVE-IN are ideal. And for days when your hair needs a little extra strength, think about adding in the TREATMENT as well. With pH sealing and bond-building technology, this range protects your hair from shampoo to finish. The WASH + RINSE gently cleanse, balance your pH and protect against colour fade without weighing your hair down. The bond building EVERLASTING.COLOUR LEAVE-IN strengthens and repairs while protecting hair from environmental stressors that can lead to fading for a truly healthy, shiny finish.
