#1: Orange Color Melt

Consider dyeing your hair with an orange color(4) melt for a unique, vivid result. I recommend using a mix of green, yellow, and blue(3) peekaboo highlights. They will create subtle pops of contrasting hues. To achieve the best results, specify your desired look to your colorist. That way, they can customize the shades for you. To maintain these shades, use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. There are ones specifically designed for colored hair. Also, do regular deep conditioning treatments. If you can, finish each style with a product that has UV protection. Try Paul Mitchell’s Color Protect Locking Spray.
