The Murphy Gozzard Hair Community are renowned across Australia for creating the very best colours in every shade of the rainbow. Working alongside luxury salon colour brand La Biosthetique, our hairdressers are highly trained in all colour techniques, with our Director Brett Albury also an esteemed Colour Ambassador for the brand, travelling the country helping to train other salons to provide exceptional colour skills. While we love a bespoke balayage, adore a rich brunette and can’t get enough of a sleek platinum, at the moment we are all about the diversity that is becoming a redhead.
Red hair is fiery, fun, bold and exciting and everyone should have the chance to experience it at least once. Selecting the right shade of red however is tricky- while most shades of blonde and brunette can work across the board, red is a more dramatic change and there are a few rules to follow when choosing yours, that our experience team can guide you through.
The most important thing to be mindful of is skin tone. For those blessed with tanned, sun kissed skin try softer strawberry blondes to avoid looking washed out. For those with cooler tones, you are best to stick with a darker shade like mahogany- a great entry level start point that you can brighten as you get bolder. We also love mulled wine tones in deep berry and burgundy, working together to create a multifaceted colour, plus they are ideal for warmer skin tones looking for a more subtle update. For the boldest change, bright cherry shades are best for those with olive and deeper skin tones- this look is the most attention getting of all and requires a shift in your whole look as it will affect your make-up and styling choices as well.
Once you take the plunge be sure to maximise your colour by selecting quality maintenance options which can be personally recommended by our best hairdressers in Paddington. One of the products we may suggest is:
PROTECTION COULEUR CONDITIONNEUR COPPER-RED .45
UV light and a stressed hair structure often cause the sparkling reflexes of red to fade prematurely. The reason: the red pigments are extremely small and can be lost in damaged hair structures. To ensure they remain stably anchored in the hair, it must be healthy and well protected. Protection Couleur Conditionneur Copper-Red . 45 restores warm vibrance to red hair. It intensively conditions red hair, balances out structural damage and pampers the hair with maximum moisture. Both elasticity and softness are significantly improved by the Conditionneur, the La Biosthétique colour protection complex effectively protects against fading and undesirable loss of reflexes. Deactivates the aggressive free radicals in the hair that are caused by UV radiation. The small, sensitive red pigments thus remain in the hair for much longer. The result: up to 73% higher colour stability – after 15 washes. Glamorous warm shades of red, from pure copper to coppery red to clear red, are intensified and given a new lease of life with colour-refreshing special pigments.
