Colour correcting isn’t just about makeup

It wasn’t too long ago that colour correcting took over our makeup kits – from the foundation-like CC creams that can even out skin tone in one fell swoop, to the pastel colour correcting primers and concealer palettes that work to neutralise redness, dark circles, pigmentation and sallow skin, we’ve pretty much been spoilt for choice when it comes to ensuring our skin is nothing short of flawless. 

And it seems like the colour correcting trend is going one step further and moving north of our faces to our hair. Yep, you can now head into a salon, have a personalised consultation and customised colour correction service that can enhance your existing hair colour, neutralise any unwanted tones and highlight your best features. 

Using the same principles of makeup colour correcting, the new L’Oréal Professionnel Color Correction service doesn’t rest on the laurels of traditional hair colouring techniques, but rather focuses on the individual’s hair colour, condition and tone – as well as their facial features and skin tone – to neutralise, sculpt or illuminate your hair. 

Here’s how it can work for you: 

If your hair is dull and lacking shine

Try: #MyFlashLuminizer 

If your hair doesn’t quite have the glossy finish you believe it deserves, ask your hairdresser about the Color Correction #MyFlashLuminizer service – a quick professional colour service that will add an incredible shot of shine to your hair. 

This service typically involves adding a few subtle touches of glittering gold colour to frame your face through the front sections of your hair, as well as boosting overall illumination by lightening specific areas of your hair (much like you’d use highlighter on certain areas of your face to enhance your features.) 

If your hair is looking a little brassy

Try: #MyReflectsNeutralizer

Anyone with blonde tones in their hair will know how quickly a bright, vibrant blonde can turn a bit yellow or warm if not looked after properly.

The #MyReflectsNeutralizer is the perfect solution for blonde hair that needs a bit of a helping hand. This express professional service works to zap unwanted brassiness and any copper or yellow tones by neutralising it with cool shades, adding luminous shine and restoring natural-looking hair.

If your hair is too dark or monotone

Try: #MyColorSculptor

If you’ve ever looked at your hair colour and thought your dark or block colour could use a little bit of a makeover, your hairdresser can help get you there with some tactically placed colour.

The #MyColorSculptor service utilises techniques like contouring, babylights, root smudging and the like, to use light and shadow to create a customised colour, focussing on specific zones or strands to highlight your best features. The end result? Added depth and dimension that still looks totally natural.
