And if to liven up the winter silhouettes, try the technicolor hair rather than the usual fuchsia blouse? Many will doubtless be skeptics. Between "we do not have this look," "my hair will not resist" and "it's a thing for magazines" resistance is strong. Emilie, colorist at Christophe Robin, brushes all his objections with a color brush stroke and explains how we can all strut with lavender blue, candy pink or mandarin on the head.

Where do I start to get a pretty pastel head?

Emilie: Make sure the hair is healthy and healthy. Whether they are colored or not, do not wash them the week before your date with the colorist. To know: the pastel which is obtained after a fading is not possible on the raven black hair or dyed with henna .

Once out of the barber what to do?


Emilie: If you do not take good care of these colors, they fade quickly. The fault formulas always semi permanent and porous hair following the decoration. You will revive your pastel every three or four shampoos with a dye for the general public while waiting for the visit to the hairdresser as soon as your roots are more than one centimeter.

What are Do's and Do's in care?


Emilie: The nourishing masks are always done before the installation of the pastel. Otherwise they accelerate the disgorging. Before each shampoo, consider moisturizing and nourishing your hair with Christophe Robin's lavender oil (or organic coconut oil ). A moisturizing milk without rinsing is a daily must.

What advice do you give to those who want to get into the pastel?


Emilie: It is essential to have a nice cut, well structured and to do regular maintenance. Crazy colors do not tolerate sloppiness. For example: on long hair, make a few strands of five centimeters thick. Arrange them to give a touch of your usual hairstyle. The other big trend this year is a band of color under the neck that is seen intermittently.

A blue or green pastel border three centimeters high over the length modernizes any square, even that of Louise Brooks. Short hair is the one that needs the most attention. The pastel must be uniform and the roots retouched regularly. Another solution: discolour and color only the ends of the points all over the head.

I hesitate between yellow, green, purple etc. How to choose the (good) color?


Emilie: Being ephemeral colorations you can change easily. Generally :

  • No green for very clear complexions.
  • Yellow is reserved for young people in their thirties as it marks wrinkles.
  • The rose goes to all because it softens and illuminates the complexion.
  • If you have blue eyes Lavender and sky blue will suit you perfectly.

And especially wear lipstick.
