Turns out, glossy black is the new black — especially when it comes to hair colour. "This sounds easier than it is since most people think of glossy black as one colour, but there are actually multiple tones involved to get the right shine and movement without looking inky and solid," said celebrity colourist and Matrix expert George Papanikolas. "Hair colour comes in 10 levels and half of them are in the dark family, ranging from Level 1: Black to Level 5: Medium Brown. Glossy black incorporates all of these."
Hillier agrees, and added, "Jet black is a vibe, it's a whole commitment. Cool tone black gives off an eclectic feel helping any artist get into the groove. Be sure to specify with your colourist what tone you want the hair to shine in the light to nail it exactly."
The easiest way to achieve this is when colouring your dark roots, Papanikolas says, is to have your stylist give you a gloss with a sheer acidic brunette toner. "Maintain this look at home with a green based shampoo and hair mask to neutralise unwanted red tones in dark hair."
