Small or big changes? Two blonde looks for spring 2022

HOW TO

If you need some encouragement to change your look, we can suggest two colours: one is stronger and the other is more subtle, both achieved with the Graduated Blonde in-salon service

Sometimes small changes help us make big decisions. Buying a plant to breathe new life into our home, adopting a furry friend or getting a new haircut. If you are in need of a change that can help you make a difference, today we have two looks for you: a stronger one – to instantly bring out your personality – and a more subtle one, to guide you through every decision. Bear in mind that real change starts from within, but your appearance can help you express it.

Pearlescent Blonde Look

If you need someone to encourage you to take a big step, we can recommend this look: a geometric, structured haircut that can be styled either straight, for a more elegant look, or messy, to reveal the darker inner texture, for a more contemporary vibe.

The shade is pearl blonde with more intense hues at the base, which suits all skin tones as the shades can be recreated to suit both warm and cool skin tones, especially if your trusted Davines hair salon uses The Century Of Light premium bleaching product line.

The key aspect is personality: if you want to wear this look, don’t be afraid to wear it casually!

Care tips at home

If you want to express every shade of pearly purple – from soft pink to lilac – apply the Dede Hair Mist all over your hair after towel drying. This spray provides a layer of moisture, which makes your hair soft and evens it out.
You can then also use a shine-enhancing product and heat protectant such as the Heart Of Glass Sheer Glaze, which is perfect especially to protect bleached hair and make it glossy.
When drying your hair, brush it using a flat brush to keep the base smoother.
Finish off by lightly spraying This is a Shimmering Mist, which will add a beautiful shimmer to your hair, bringing out texture or enhancing movement.

Bronzed blonde hair

Even if you only have a small change in mind, this look is perfect for you: a slightly asymmetrical shoulder-length bob, a classic haircut with magnolia and bronze blonde reflects.

To create the soft waves that characterise this classic look, the hair was styled into soft waves by curling the hair in opposite directions. If you have wavy hair, this style suits you naturally, but it can easily be recreated on any type of hair.

Who would we recommend it to? To those who like simple haircuts, or who don’t have much time, but always want to look their best.

How do I recreate the look?

Apply a base of This is a Blow Dry Primer, which helps your hair stay in place as you want it.
Then apply the Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze: not only because it provides extra shine, but also to detangle your hair before it dries.
If you would like a more defined look as in the photo, use a straightener to create loose waves by wrapping your hair around it and curling each section in opposite directions.
For a softer look, turn your head upside down and spray a generous amount of This is a Shimmering Mistall over your hair. Not only will it soften the waves you have created, but it will also add movement to the ends, revealing the colour and asymmetrical shape of your look.

Graduated Blonde: try this new service at the salon

The two colour proposals we have just told you about were created by Tom Connell, Davines Hair Art Director, for his new 2022 Sunlight Hours hair identity campaign.

They are two “variations” of blonde achieved thanks to the new Graduated Blonde service, which gets its name from the fact that it creates a gradual transition from the base – where the blonde is darker and dusty – to lighter, brighter ends.

Graduated Blondeis an extremely adaptable hair colouring service, which allows all shades of blonde to be playedwith to achieve a more classic look – such as bronze blonde – or a more edgy look – such as pearl blonde. As hair is gradually exposed to different shades of natural light, the haircut itself reveals other shades of colour.

In synergy with Graduated Blonde, The Century of Light bleaching and View toning were also used to create these looks. In a nutshell,Graduated Blonde adds depth and dimension to your hair, giving it movement.
