It’s been the most buzzed about Super Bowl of all time. What are we talking about? J.lo’s hair of course. Although the style (by Chris Appleton) was flawless, it was the color and shine that picked up the light and has tongues wagging.
HereRedken Celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham (@traceycunningham1), J.Lo’s colorist, shares the details:
“J. Lo has always been a honey brown. Her perfectly highlighted hair has remained consistently gorgeous throughout every stage of her career,” Cunningham says. “Sometimes I add in some more blonde highlights, which blend in so well with the honey and light brown, but I really love her both ways. Her skin is so perfect, creamy and golden, so the lighter colors add depth to her overall color. To maintain this look, I suggest seeing your colorist every six weeks for a touch-up and Redken Shades EQ Gloss to keep your color looking fresh, bright and with fabulous shine.”
