Hair colour has been a touchy subject over the last year. With salons being forced to close as we all sheltered in place, many were left with few choices for maintaining their colour. For the bravest souls among us, this year has meant getting comfortable with DIY box dye, but for a lot of folks, limited or no access to professionals meant abandoning their hair colour maintenance altogether, leading to overgrown roots, dull highlights, and generally unkempt colour that’s likely now in need of some serious TLC.
Thankfully, we’re almost out of the woods, and salons are finally open again so we can book in with our trusty colourists to make hair colour magic once again.
