From the choice of tone to care; check out the expert’s tips for conquering the hollywoodian tone
If you’re a movie fan, you’ve certainly heard that the actress Blake Lively will play florist Lily Bloom, in the adaptation of the book It Ends With Us, for the cinema. Maybe you’re wondering what this has to do with today’s column and I’ll answer you: everything. To play the character, the actress had to change her locks, which are naturally light and have some strands, to a reddish tone.

In a story (print), the actress briefly showed the nuance, a more closed and intense red, a color option that adapts more easily to different skin tones. As the artist already had lighter strands, one of the ways to achieve this color is with toners, but on dark hair, you will need to go through a discoloration process. Want to go red like Blake Lively? I bring some tips.
How to choose the ideal tone?
To understand which redhead will look best, you need to know what your skin tone is (warm, neutral or cool). Blake has the pinkest tone, which harmonizes orange and lighter reddish nuances. However, a good conversation with your hairdresser helps in this matter, since for the film, the actress used a darker hue.
What care should I have with red hair?
Those who opt for the color should keep in mind that it will be necessary to retouch the root monthly. You need to invest in a care line suitable for dyed hair, and especially in a toning mask, to restore the pigment lost during washing or excessive sun exposure.
Treatments cannot be neglected, even more so by those who needed to discolor, so pay attention to the hair schedule and set aside some time to carry out a protocol at the salon.
What’s more, dyed highlights should stay away from long and very hot baths and exaggerated exposure to the sun. Also opt for a capillary sunscreen when exposing yourself to the sun and/or a CC Cream, with thermal protection, before using heat tools. At the end, use a repair oil on the ends and a shine spray.
