It feels like it has been a while since we have that sense of a big hair trend and something which gets everyone excited to try something new. Here at the Murphy Gozzard Hair Community we are always up for creating fresh looks but we always love the added inspo! The latest? Gigi Hadid’s fresh copper locks. Redheads are back and we are here for it.
The Murphy Gozzard team are renowned across Australia for creating the very best colours in every shade of the rainbow and we especially know our fiery shades. 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.
Selecting the right shade of red can be tricky but your Paddington colour experts are here to guide you. 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 experienced team can guide you through.
First up we need to consider skin tone as this will play a huge role in how your final look comes together. For those with tanned, sun kissed skin, you can experiment with softer strawberry blondes which will keep you from looking washed out. For those with cooler tones, you are best to stick with a darker shade like mahogany which is also a great starting point that you can brighten as you get more used to the colour change. You can also play with more mulled wine tones in deep berry and burgundy for warmer skin tones, which are also great a we start to head towards cooler weather. But we also love Gigi’s bold copper change which is definitely a statement maker but can look great on many skin tones.
So, you are ready to make the change? You will also need to think about maintenance as red hair is tricky to keep salon fresh so you want to grab a few key products to keep your colour looking amazing. Our expert colourists have you covered with some professional suggestions…
