COLOUR ENHANCEMENT
I love the vibrancy of this look and the colour element plays a major part in this. I used a variety of shades, but, while the overall
effect is extreme, the individual colours are actually quite muted, so there are no jarring clashes where the different shades meet. I
used Colour Sync from Matrix to create an almost transparent, pastel effect. It’s somehow simultaneously soft and bold. The different
shades also enhance the fabulous texture and volume of the hair. It’s an image that represents beauty, femininity and confidence.

RISK TAKER
I love that this look takes risks, playing with the concept of what constitutes gorgeous colour. The colour has an almost self-done look
about it. It appears simple and effortless, when in fact it took a lot of creativity and skill. The finished look is edgy but beautiful. Hair
was pre-lightened all over, then ends were coloured using a golden topaz tone. The colour creates a striking contrast with the bleached
crown. It borders on being harsh, but is ultimately beautiful. To add to the ‘real’ nature of this image, the photographer Jenny Hands
captured it in one take.
