They say blondes have more fun, but what to do if you're a brunette? Following in the footsteps of your favorite celebs such as Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian or Beyoncé, don't be afraid of change and sign up for these tips from color expert Mauricio Bermúdez (@bermudezcolour) of the Suite Caroline salon in New York's SoHo.
What is the first thing that one should consider when deciding on a shade of blonde?
The first thing I consider is the color of the eyes. There are usually shades or flashes of a color in the iris that can guide which direction or what shade I would like to highlight for the colors to connect. [This way] you make sure that the color will be appropriate and that it highlights the color of the eyes.
What blondes do they wear now for darker skin?
I see a range ranging from coffee latte (oat milk) to a straight almost white blonde from the root to keep a credible point, to baby beige, like a golden version of Teddy Graham cookies.
What is a definitive "No" when you change from brunette to blonde?
For me, a "NO" is trying to speed up any part of the process. If you want to go from brunette to blonde at once, expect to spend ALL day to achieve this goal. If your hair has been dyed before, chances are it will take more than one session, to maintain the health and integrity of your hair. Ignoring the texture of your hair is also a big mistake. If the hair has frizz and strong curls, bleaching the strands will result in sad and dehydrated curls, which in the end is not worth it.
What products do you recommend to your clients to maintain color at home?
I always recommend that you take a number of products home to maintain freshness and color consistency: I love Christophe Robin's Baby Blonde Toning & Conditioning Mask; the shampoo should be from a specific brand for colored hair like Davises Nourishing Shampoo and Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner. Finally, a conditioner that you let act without rinsing, like Oribe's Split end Seal.
