Sun-kissed colour
Love Jen’s colour and want to get the same look? Rescu. spoke to colour expert and three times Australian Colour Technician of the Year, Dieter Mersmann of Wildlife Hair Origin, to find out how to ask for Jen’s gorgeous colour in your hair.
Expert Insight
“To achieve Jen’s pale golden locks ask your hairdresser to apply classic foils using a mid-level golden blonde, leave the colour slightly off base or away from the scalp to give a gently grown out look.
As this colour has a lighter or more concentrated look through the mid-lengths and ends you will need to add extra colour around the foils, this is best done by hand painting or using a baliage technique to gently add the lighter colour to those areas.
To finish the look ask for a Colour Gloss, this is always a good idea to give added shine and condition to lightened hair keeping your colour salon fresh.”
