02 Why

Why it works.

Hair frames your face. Golden color matches your warm coloring, while ash tones tend to read cooler than the rest of you.

  • Do

    Stay golden and warm. Ask for gold, not ash, in any highlights.

  • Skip

    Ash blonde and blue-black tend to read cooler than this season.

Say it like this

Golden and warm, no ash.

Warm highlights, nothing icy.

Walk in with a shade that has a name.
