The trend for bold hair color continues into Spring and Summer 2017. Violet Ice is one of the most popular color trends for this season. This icy lilac look is pretty and feminine while it really stands out in a crowd. The color is a pastel lavender with silvery, smoky metallic undertones and works best on cooler skin tones with pink undertones. Here are a few examples of the trend from our designers, Melissa at Cranberry and Olivia at Fox Chapel.
The words “do not try this at home” come to mind when trying to create this soft pastel hair color. Seek out the professional advice of your Philip Pelusi Skill Certified Colorist. They will analyze your skin tone, eye color and hair’s condition to determine if this look can work for you. A personalized color formula and technique will create this unique washed-out purple look and Philip’s exclusive Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock will be blended right into your color formula! Available exclusively at Philip Pelusi Salons; a take home version can be purchased to help maintain the effects. This revolutionary product contains specialized big science micro-emulsions that help prevent color fadage up to 80% in between touch ups. Also, be sure to help preserve your color investment at home with a special prescription of stylist recommended Philip Pelusi products.
The Violet Ice tone is tricky to preserve so we recommend using a super color protecting shampoo and condition containing color sealing Willow Bark and antioxidants Matricaria, Asafetida, Blackberry and Sage that help preserve color. Try P2 by Philip Pelusi Fade de Phy Shampoo and Fade de Phy Conditioner. Plus, alternating with a no-suds cleansing conditioner can help keep color from fading. Try P2 Clenz Crème. It’s cutting edge formula, containing hydrating Organic Baobab Oil, doesn’t lather, adds color protecting ingredients and helps create a lustrous shine.
Add a fast-acting, in-shower hair strengthener after every shampoo containing natural plant proteins to help lock in the color molecules deep inside the cortex. Try P2 DailyHaiRx Xtreme Hair Repair. It’s Gluten Free Corn, Soy and Wheat Proteins help resurface broken keratin sites helping to seal in color molecules within the hair. Often called by stylists a “3 Minute Miracle”, P2 Xtreme works quickly helping to create glossy shine and stronger hair too.
And to help maintain the Violet Ice hue in between salons visits, use a color conditioner that adds a boost of color plus lots of shine. Try P2 Color Boost Conditioner in the shade Violet Orchid. This deposit-only color conditioner stains the hair with liquefied dehydrated violets. To get that lilac pastel effect, mix P2 Violet Orchid in with your choice of any P2 by Philip Pelusi creamy instant or deep conditioner; or better yet have it custom blended by your Philip Pelusi colorist during your salon visit. And apply several times a week after shampooing. Or mix into the aforementioned P2 Clenz Crème and rinse. And depending on the condition of the hair, a drop or two can also be mixed into any P2 by Philip Pelusi styling product and blown dry into the hair for a stronger violet effect.
