Great Hair Color: Inspiration & Formulation for Illuminated Coral



Soft, translucent hues of copper, rose and crimson add sparkling warmth to bouncy curls. This look combines a rich, warm base with ribbons of pastels to add shimmer and dimension. The combination of tones ripples and shines for a look that is distinctive and exotic, like a tropical flower. A variety of red tones creates balance and emphasizes movement while the rich background hue grounds the softer colors, for a pallet that works on both light and dark skin tones. For professional tips for a the perfect formulation to attain this hue, see the below style tips below. 
Tips: Hand painted highlights is the best way to get the lighter pieces to merge seamlessly with the base shade. Apply the base color first, using an alternative virgin application. Apply formula 1 to roots, and immediately pull through formula 2 on the ends. Process, shampoo and blow dry. Then, beginning in the front hairline, take diagonal sections and paint individual tendrils of formula 3 down each section, uniting them into a point at the tip. Keep sections separated with plastic wrap. Repeat, working up and back in diagonal sections. Process to a level 8. Shampoo and towel dry. Apply formulas 4 and 5 to alternating sections. Process until desired tone is achieved. Rinse and style as desired.
