Pastel colours have been big on the catwalks this Spring and Summer, with Prada showcasing a delicious 50′s orientated sweet/rock chick look and big campaigns from Louis Vuitton, Mullberry and Stella McCartney plus many other designers all embracing pastels.

And it’s not just in clothing; this season pastel colours creep into hair world and it is proving to be a major trend on the runways and on celebrities with light blues, lavenders, greens, pinks and peaches being seen.

 
Playing with colour is a good way to update your look, but it can take being a bit brave to experiment with  pastel colouring. 

We love this trend in the salon and encourage our clients to experiment with adding bit of ‘candy’ to their hair. 

Our Master Colour Expert Bartholomew loves using Wella Perfecton semi permanent rinses.  They last two washes, meaning you can achieve different tones of blues, lavender and candy pink colours without a long term commitment.

Pastels go perfectly with blondes, a few fine panels through a fringe section or hiding them underneath means they will shimmer through and add interest.  They can also be used to accentuate brunettes and redheads.

 
The soft My-Little-Pony looking pastel hair colours have been seen on many celebrities, with Lady Gaga going for green, Emma Watson choosing pink, Ellie Goulding embracing the look in both pink and purple and Kelly Osbourne sporting lavender.
