After discussing my perfect hair cut and color with Kevin Mancuso at the Nexxus New York Salon last month I shared this inspiration board with my hair stylist during my last visit in hopes of heading more in that direction (just need a few more inches for that edgier front angled lob!). We both agreed that a lighter brunette with carmel and apricot highlights would be a fun change for me, and we’re in the process of making it happen! As I gradually transition into this new shade I’ve been relying on Nexxus New York Salon Care Color Assure line that helps preserve the hair’s vibrancy with 100% elastin protein and wild orchid extract.
We lifted the darker brunette shade at and around my roots and went lighter all around. My hair has the tendency to naturally pull red so hints of apricot can already be seen when in the light and we’ve since gone even more noticeable (stay tuned!). Prepping my hair pre-shower with the Nexxus New York Salon Care Color Assure Primer that provides a shield of protection to my hair from water and washing with the Nexxus New York Salon Care Color Assure Rebalancing Shampoo and Restoring Conditioner has really helped preserve this lighter shade over of the past few weeks while keeping my hair soft and healthy.
After washing, I’ll towel dry my hair and mist with Nexxus New York Salon Care Color Assure Glossing Tonic (it smells so good!) before styling. It’s amazing what a difference the products really make in helping to maintain your color!
