For Blondes
Go for... golden 'lights, opting for a shadow at the roots so that it's slightly darker than the ends. That'll allow you to get longer wear from your new hair.
For Brunettes
Go for... heavy metal. Copper highlights look bold, not brassy, when you ask your stylist for "pieceier" chunks.
For Noirettes
Go for... jet black. Raven-haired beauties benefit from the rich, luxe look of deep, dark, shiny strands.
Whatever color treatment you choose, take care of it with EVER. EVER Recovery oil combines rich marula oil, sustainably-derived squalane and rare crambe abyssinica to create an ultra-luxurious oil with the ability to penetrate the hair to seal, coat and smooth the cuticle, repair split ends, deliver nutrients to repair damage, protect from color degredation, increase elasticity, reduce thermal damage and enhance shine.
