Shine might be the bi-product of this summer’s metallic hair trend but it’s the main reason we’re getting on board. Just look at how glossy tones of opal, pewter and silver can look when expertly weaved through your hair. Impressive right? Already spotted on early adopters such as Nicole Ritchie and Yasmin Le Bon, it’s a look that keeps on giving thanks to a healthy dose of colour and condition in equal measures. It might look like a single shot of colour to us, the untrained eye, but colourist, Vannata, from GRO salon in Clapham assures us it’s all down to the careful blending of a mixture of iridescent shades. ‘Adding shimmer to the hair automatically brings shines and creates a truly beautiful effect, pinks and purples take on an icy glimmer, while blues and greens are enriched with a jewel-like glow.’ The only downside of this dazzling colour trend? It’s best-boosted with an ice cold rinse after every wash to seal in shine for as long as possible. Brrrr…
