Color Trends 2023: Achieving the Latest Styles with Life Color Plus

Introduction to Trending Hair Colours

Trends move every season, but the colour work behind them does not: rich naturals, warm coppers and reds, cool ashes, high-lift blondes and toned pastels. This post shows how the Life Color Plus range of 160 shades, correctors and toners covers each one in the salon.

Showcasing Life Color Plus's 160-Shade Range

Life Color Plus has 160 shades, correctors and toners, all at one price, so the choice of shade is never a cost decision. Here is how the range maps onto the looks clients ask for:

• Pastels: Life Color Plus has no pastel shades as such. Pastel results are built in two steps: pre-lighten to the right level, then finish with a toner. The correctors and toners guide explains which does what.
• Rich Naturals: Deep browns, blondes and blacks come from the naturals, which also form the base of white-hair coverage.
• Warm Tones: Golds, coppers, reds and mahoganies for the warm end of the trend cycle.
• High-Lift Blondes: The 900 and 12 series lift and deposit in one step, at their own 1:2 mixing ratio.

Tips on Selecting the Right Shade for Different Skin Tones

Skin tone is a starting point for the consultation, not a rule:

• Fair Skin Tones: Cooler shades like ash blonde or light brown often complement fair skin.
• Medium Skin Tones: Warmer colours like honey blondes, coppers or rich browns tend to work well.
• Dark Skin Tones: Deep reds, burgundies or dark browns add a strong contrast.

Techniques for Applying Life Color Plus for Optimal Results

Life Color Plus is a professional product for salon use only. In the salon:

• Testing: A skin test 48 hours before every colour service, plus a strand test on any hair with a colour history.
• Mixing: 1:1.5 for standard work (50ml colour to 75ml developer), 1:1 for heavy white hair, and 1:2 for the high-lift series.
• Sectioning and Application: Work in clean sections. On virgin hair apply the lengths first, then the roots, because roots process faster from scalp heat.
• Timing: 30 to 45 minutes depending on the developer. On 100% white hair, give 20 volume the full 45.

Encouraging Experimentation with Colour Trends

A wide range lets you say yes to more of what clients bring in, provided the consultation is honest about what each look needs: pre-lightening for pastels, the right developer, and realistic aftercare. With 160 shades, correctors and toners at one price, you can mix bespoke colours for each client without the formula costing more.
