Bournemouth & Poole Vivid colour specialists
Vivid hair colours are outside the traditional realm of hair color. Vivids are also known as fantasy colours, fun hair colour, rainbow colours, unicorn hair or mermaid hair. These colours can range from deep jewel tones, vibrant neons and soft pastel tones. Emerald, Rose Gold, Galaxy Hair, Opal, Rainbow, Aqua, Purple, Magenta, Silver, Electric Neons, Lavender, Coral, Tangerine… the possibilities are endless with our Vivid Specialists at our Holmes of Beauty Hair salon in Bournemouth.
Vivid hair is at its best when it is applied to pre-lightened hair. The lighter or blonder the hair is, the truer the vivid will be. We recommend the lightening process should be coupled with a bond builder like Wellaplex, to preserve the integrity of the hair while it is being lifted.
The colors used for this service are semi permanent. This means that vivid colors or direct dyes sit on top of the hair shaft. The color molecules of these fantasy colors are too large to fit in the cortex of the hair like traditional hair color. This means that everytime vivid hair is washes, the color will bleed.
There are colour tones that last longer than others. Deeper jewel tones last longer than pastel and opalescent tones. Warmer tones like magenta and purple last longer than blues and greens. To ensure the longevity of vivid colours, clients need to:
Wash their hair with cold water.
Wash 1-2x a week max for ultimate longevity.
Incorporate a Dry Shampoo.
Use a vivid deposit shampoo/conditioner to keep colour ( we recommend wella colour fresh mask)
Maintain with sulfate free, colour safe products
Use a thermal protectant when using hot tools.
