7 Hair Colors, Care Collections To Go Bold During Last Month Of Summer

Time will fly by the month of August. Summer will be over in a month, and in a blink of an eye is Holiday season again. You probably had a great time so far, but maybe there are still some things you said you would do during your New Year’s Resolutions that you haven’t done yet.

Do something that scares you or something that is out of your comfort zone, like changing your natural hair color for something more risky. During the last month of summer, celebs are going bold with their color. Shakira, known for her blonde long locks went for a bold red shade for her new music video, “Pierro Fiel.” Lady Gaga went two-toned with waves of orange and blue while Gigi Hadid added some pink and purple flare, and Sarah Hyland dared to go dark with a subtle mahogany.

To achieve these color shake-ups that encourage and inspire you, Garnier Consulting Celebrity Colorist, Millie Morales, shared with Latin Times her expert tips & tricks on how to switch up your look and how to maintain it.

If you are looking for something Semi-Permant, Morales suggests:

• L’Oréal Paris Colorista Semi-Permanent Hair Color

The brand’s 1^st trend-setting, semi-permanent hair color formulated with pure pigments for unlimited color transformation: COLORISTA. The collection includes 12 shades that can be mixed or used alone, paired with special-effects bleaches and applied all-over or placed intentionally for punchy pops of highlights and peekaboo hues. As a semi-permanent process, results can be visible for up to 12 washes – unless the urge for a color swap occurs sooner, in which case Colorista has you covered with a toolkit of fading options. Available here.

For a all-over color Millie says: “It’s important to always read and follow the instructions provided in the box. While you are looking for a color, always refer to the side/ back of the box to make sure you are a good fit for that shade.”

• Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color

​

Introducing four new intense colors that nourish hair while delivering vibrant shades for perfectly on-trend tresses. Unapologetic and intense, these stand-out shades go beyond brunette and blonde; Ultra Pure Platinum, Ultra Bold Indigo, Ultra Bold Red and Ultra Bold Violet. While other hair coloring systems damage hair, drying strands and leaving them breakage-prone, Nutrisse Ultra Color boasts a trifecta of nourishing avocado, olive and shea oils, so you can embrace bold self-expressions without compromising on care. Vivid color is achieved in just one application.

New shades include:

1. Ultra-Pure Platinum: Cool and extreme platinum with zero brassiness and high-shine intensity.

2. Ultra-Bold Indigo: Dark, intense blue with high-power color.

Fore care and maintenance Millie suggest: “Applying hair color to the hair, can dry out the ends. I always recommend my clients to use a hair treatment or oil, a couple of times a month – this will help strengthen our hair.”
