Pulp Riot Artist Heather Shaw offers her top tips for creating picture-perfect pastels:
● To create the perfect pastel result you need to properly pre-lighten the hair –ideally to a level 9 or 10.
● Always pre-tone when needed. It’s so worth it and will truly elevate your results. By not pre-toning, you’ll find that soft lilacs can end up neutralising your base and almost disappearing.
● Trust the process and let your colour develop; rinsing too early will mean the colour may not have taken properly, causing it to fade.
● When choosing pastels for your client, think carefully about their character: Will fun colour clashes work with their personality or does a classic global application seem more appropriate?
Dopamine Hair Colour is set to be the hottest hair trend in 2023, and what’s the best thing about it? It’s all about YOU! Dopamine is the hormone that allows us to feel satisfaction and pleasure, so this trend is all about tapping into not only what makes you look good, but what makes you feel good too.
Think bright, bold colours applied all-over, combined with eye-catching panels and vibrant pops. Right now, pinks, corals and lilacs are certainly having their moment in the salon; already this year, we have seen an enormous increase in Pantone’s Viva Magenta, an incredibly saturated, dopamine colour!
“To create this look, I did back-to-back babylights with foilayage, using Olaplex throughout the process. I then applied a moisture treatment and toned the hair with Pastel Pink from Directions. To finish, I applied two packs of lilac coloured tape extensions”

“Playful and lively, this disconnected layered cut contrasts its softly-cut lengths with the eye-catching shorter hair on top. Cool blonde shades have been added as highlights just below the parting, providing more structure to the longer sections; the consistent colour also has a calming effect on the layering on top of the head.”
