Jessica Punter on why adding a dash of colour to your
hair needn't be a radical change - or break the bank

BRIGHTEN YOUR LOCKS

When I noticed my own dingy roots approaching 'dull-as-dishwater'
on the colour spectrum earlier this month, I headed to Buller +
Rice in E17 (bullerandrice.com). The Tottenham outpost is the
second eco-salon from Anita Rice and Stephen Buller. Rice predicts
that 2020 hair is all about "natural roots and a filtered hue effect

'Scandinavian' hairline, as

she calls it - a natural baby
blonde used to frame the
face. For afro hair, she says, "The look is about brushed-on lights and
a softer approach, so the colour gives an impression like the light
is hitting it."
Two of the main detractions from adopting coloured hair are time
and money (especially when bank accounts might still be looking
a little lean after the festive blowout). Anita's solution is to use
purpose-cut foils, which reduce wastage, on her clients and then
"shadow the roots with toner to blend the seam, then glaze the
roots for longer-lasting results". The result is very natural-looking
regrowth that doesn't require regular maintenance.

WORDS Jessica Punter

H

airstyles may come and go but "colour is always in" says
Josh Wood, the visionary colourist behind countless
catwalk creations for Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Marc
Jacobs and Celine, as well as the Global Colour Creative
Director for Redken. His prediction for 2020: "Colour is going to be
all inclusive. It's become such a big conversation, it overtakes what
the 'trends' are and it's more about bringing out one's personality
using hair colour and getting a colour that really suits you."
If that means reaching for the pink hair dye, go for it, but Josh says,
"There are classic techniques we use in the salon which will still
update your colour: balayage (a freehand, paint-on colour technique
that gives a blended natural look) has been around for a long time
but still gives an effortless highlight. A technique that adds to any
base colour is usually a winner for most clients and flatters most."
