Platinum locks with vibrant tangerine tips provide an unexpected mix of soft coolness with vibrant warmth. Bright tips are fun, but they’re also functional. The vibrant color makes hair seem thicker by drawing the eye to the perimeter shape. We especially love vibrant hair paired with glossy lips in a sheer version of the same tone as shown here. Read the style notes for tips on achieving the look and professional color formulations. 



FOR THE HAIRDRESSER: 
Tips: Start with pre-lightened, level 10 hair. Touch up roots in necessary, then paint formula 1 through ends, working in horizontal sections. Saturate at the ends and blend into the mid-shaft with gentle, vertical brush strokes. Isolate each section with saran wrap or foil. Process according to manufacturer’s instructions, then glaze blonde with formula 2.
