The main hair color trend of 2019: living coral shade

The Pantone Institute named “Living Coral” the main color of 2019. Cheerful and optimistic, soft and warm, gentle and airy - he has already won the hearts of many girls around the world. It cannot be called a simple shade - it intertwines notes of many colors, which makes it sophisticated, lively and incredibly interesting. Colorists very quickly found the use of the “living coral” shade in our hairstyles to make them unusual and certainly noticeable. In 2019, in hair coloring, we pay attention to muted pastel shades instead of very bright and catchy ones, and “living coral” fits perfectly into this trend. Coral hair color is perfect for girls with light hair - blondes and light brown. But owners of dark curls will have to first lighten their hair or individual strands (depending on their wishes). Since the shade is warm, it will be most harmonious with warm skin undertones. Dyeing in the trendy shade “living coral” will not only help refresh your hairstyle, but will also give the image carefree, freshness and lightness. A warm coral shade will soften facial features and make its owner visually younger - another point in favor of a fashionable color. To understand how to use a trendy shade in hair coloring, what technologies to use and what color variations to prefer in 2019, we turned to international-class hairdresser-stylist Irina Zaitseva .

The color “living coral” is suitable for warm blondes. There are many variations on this theme - these are warm shades from apricot, peach and strawberry to salmon. To properly use a trendy color, you need to prepare a hair base. Lightness level from 7 to 10. Warm blonde. Depending on the client’s wishes (how long he wants to wear this color), we choose a dye. Permanent will give us durability for 3-4 weeks. Demi-permanent or semi-permanent – 1-2 weeks. It is very important that the hair is of good quality - then the color lies evenly and lasts longer. To do this, before dyeing it is worth performing a hair reconstruction procedure. About the choice of technology. The best option is to stretch the color with depth at the root and pastel shades at the ends of the hair. For those with curls, I recommend the strand technique. They can be of different thicknesses and even different shades in this range, the main condition is pre-bleached hair. Photo: Instagram @wellahair
