Bronde has proven itself to be one of those trends that’s here to stay. As colorist Daniel Mora of the Jon Michael Salon proves with this gorgeous look using multi-dimensional tones of both blonde and brunette, bronde is the perfect look for any time of year, especially the summer to fall transition.
Summer blondes looking to go darker for the fall can incorporate deeper, richer shades without losing their blonde pieces, and brunettes who want to add lighter locks and more dimensional can more easily maintain their natural, darker roots.
To make his bronde beauty even more unique, Daniel added a metallic touch using PRAVANA’s ChromaSilk ColorLush on his client! ColorLush is a demi-color that creates a gentle color experience.
To create this look, Daniel used the following: 2 parts ColorLush 5S (Silver Lining) + 1 part ColorLush 6N (English Toffee) on previously lightened level 7 hair.
ColorLush is both ammonia and MEA-free and delivers beautifully translucent color through new, nurturing technology found in the proprietary Omega-9 Oil Delivery Complex. Derived from avocado, grapeseed oil and olive oil, the Omega-9 Oil Delivery Complex works synergistically to infuse hair with nourishment while embedding pure color pigment without added stress to the strand.
The line comes with 27 colors, including four Boosts and Clear, for ultimate customization. ColorLush is super-fast and easy to apply; the no-lift, true demi-color creates rich color that incrementally improves the integrity of the hair, leaving it feeling healthier, while imparting shine.
To use, combine one part Demi Gloss to one part ColorLush Activator and process for 20 minutes to refresh, gloss, neutralize, enhance, correct and/or blend grays.
ColorLush is available now at SalonCentric and State| RDA Pro Mart stores nationwide.
