Top Picks for Updating Your Tone This Season
Whether subtle or a statement, the best changes this year are the ones that offer a soft reset. A few additional highlights around the face, a little warmer with your colour, or perhaps a brand-new tone to match your new mood. And whether you’re gearing up for something small or large, healthy hair should always be at the helm.
Some of this is your responsibility, namely picking the right care products, not overdoing it with the heat styling and being prompt with trims. But the other side of this equation comes down to your stylist and choosing the right products and treatments to get you from point A to point B. Case in point: CODE + GLOSS.
Few things in life feel as refreshing as newly coloured hair, which is why investing in quality colour and care are key—they keep you feeling fresher longer. Two hair colour ranges that are essential to all of the above are KEVIN.MURPHY+CODE and GLOSS formulas.
With CODE you can expect high performance results with a new code of colour that uses skincare technology for even coverage, lift, and vibrance alongside shine and repair and a long lasting finish. This permanent colour range is powered by KM.LAMELLAR technology to deliver hair that feels as fabulous as it looks.
If permanent colour isn’t needed, or you’re looking for a way to enhance tones between CODE appointments—it’s all about that GLOSS.
Together, this duo transforms all your “befores” into unforgettable “afters.”
Tones That Should Be on Your Radar
A new season is in the air, and with it comes a fresh wave of inspiration. From bold and brazen to beachy and balanced—here are a few ways to update your tone this season.
Creative Copper
This tone proves there’s a new code for copper this season. With a deep copper tone that works on both warm and cool skin tones, this colour is what copper dreams are made of. Well, actually it was made with +CODE and ULTIMATE.LIGHTENER, but you get our drift.
Beach Blonde 2.0
Less brass more beach. Beach blonde will never go out of style, but looking back to plan for the future there are some notes we would give to our previous iterations. Unlike the beach blonde of yesteryear, this new wave brings with it a clean undertone (whether warm or cool) that glows. While much of that comes from the tone chosen, it’s created and kept with the help of GLOSS. With 25% stronger and 37% thicker results, GLOSS delivers on tone and care in a single service.
Balanced Balayage
Whether you’ve let the time between appointments lapse too long or you simply like the grown-out look, balayage styles are even more blended and balanced this season, proving that natural-looking finishes are still in—within reason. To ensure your hair looks balanced and not faded ask for a few teasylights around the face frame and book regular GLOSS appointments to really step up your shine and strength this season.
