Chris Appleton (@chrisappleton1), go-to hair guru for Hollywood’s elite (including Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa) and Schwarzkopf Global Color Ambassador, recently took to Instagram to post himself transforming his daughter Kitty-Blu’s hair from blonde to a new soft, pastel pink color. And while we can all agree it was a gushing family moment, it's impossible for the eye to not be drawn to this new dazzling shade that’s bound to turn heads.
According to Cosmetify's latest Hair Report, Schwarzkopf is one of the top 10 most popular hair brands, and Chris Appleton is the #1 most popular haircare influencer.
Appleton has experimented with fun hair colors before, including giving the Kardashian-Jenner clan their famous unicorn pink ‘dos. This time, however, it seems that Kitty-Blu wanted to take advantage of the color-friendly canvas having blonde hair has given her, going for a softer look.
See below for the video Appleton and Kitty shared and how he achieved this stunning blush color.
To achieve this, all while helping her have a little fun with color, Appleton used Schwarkopf BLONDME Blonde Toning Creative Pastel Tone in Strawberry with a drop of Ice, and Lilac to perfect her tone. During the process, he added these intermixable pastel toners for tone enhancement and endless creativity. Ideal for pre-lightened bases, these pastel cremes offer more clarity of tone and longer lasting color results.
