Pastel hair has seen its hayday(s) many moons ago, but the latest iteration for Spring is a lot more washed out — in a good way. "Faded pastels will make a comeback, but they will be more powdery and white feeling — think Lady Gaga at the Golden Globes," said NYC-based colourist Stephanie Brown. "Soft blues and pinks will be seen a lot."
"Faded pastels will make a comeback, but they will be more powdery and white feeling."
To pull it off, keep in mind: "This is for the person who has very pale highlights or platinum hair," she said, adding that yellow undertones make you lose the powdery effect. "Since these colours are so pale, they can be hard to maintain, but there are at home-shampoos and conditioners that can help. I like Bleach London, Overtone, and Muvo makes a pretty pink. To make sure the pastel stays pale, mix the formula with a plain shampoo or conditioner so the colours don't come out too vibrant."
