To bring back the richness and dimension in her colour, I started my applying a permanent colour formula in a rich dark-brown shade at the regrowth.

After cleansing her hair with Maria Nila Luminous Colour Shampoo and Conditioner, I added Oribe Supershine Run-Through Detangling Primer, $50 for added hydration and heat protection. I removed several inches of length, creating a clean, one-length silhouette. I blowdried her hair and finished the style with Maria Nila Cica Styling Spray, $25 for light hold and frizz reduction. The result is a shape that feels fresh and modern, while the rich chocolate-brown gives the hair a luxurious, healthy-looking finish.
