Summer trend: dyeing in pastel shades

We have translated for you an article about the relevance of pastel shades in coloring, which was recently published by HJ magazine.

Pastels are a great way to create beautiful color that can be easily customized to suit any taste and style.

Why will pastels be popular in the summer?

Soft “candy” shades create a sugary hair feel that is reminiscent of a patisserie filled with macaroons, scones and cupcakes. Yes, these are the associations that most people have when they see pastel shades of hair.

Pastels are extremely versatile, as they offer many application methods, they can be adjusted in any way you like, and you can search for a shade that suits the client. In addition, these shades are a great option for those who are not bold enough to choose a very bright blue or pink color. These are the shades that won't last long, allowing you to experiment with new colors.

Choose the right pastel shades for your clients

Choosing a style for your client is very important, but since these shades are not very long lasting, you can always encourage the client to step out of their color comfort zone.

Provide a subtle hint of color

If your client prefers a light shade and has a cool blonde, then you can do it from the middle of the length to the ends - this will add a glow of a new shade when the hair hits the light. Likewise, you can introduce pastel shades in alternating sections from root to ends, with the root in a light base tone or blending in a melt from mid-lengths to ends.

If you have a blonde client who is warmer than desired, a pastel shade can also be used as a color corrector.

Experiment with “unicorn shades”

In order for the pastel shade to be strong, you need to work on it. These colors are mostly monochromatic, but there are often combinations of pastel shades to create a multi-tonal variety from pink to blue and purple.

Mono-shades or multi-colored combinations can also go well with the peek-a-boo style, where all the shades will be hidden under a flawless blonde and appear with just one movement of the hair.

Explore Richer Shades

Pastels also work well on a mid-level base tone, bringing a whole new depth to candy shades. Pastels work beautifully on all styles, lengths and skin tones. The shades add fun to short haircuts, mid-length peek-a-boo haircuts and pops of color on long and flowing hair.
