Unlock a Colourful World of Potential
Hair colour often says a lot about someone’s personality and attitude to life. Hair colour can emphasise skin tone and eye colour, make hair look fuller along with adding texture, and can even help your clients to express their true personality.
NXT can help you unlock a world of potential, with lots of online resources, which are freely available on the NXT website.
With a range of over 115 vegan friendly permanent colours and over 42 ammonia-free, semi-permanent colours, NXT has the colour that will enable you to embrace natural hair colour by simply adding highlights, or going further by creating ombres or balayages. Our metallics range will also let you access shades inspired by stones and metals and explore even more subtle shades of soft colour.

Copper This shiny mineral has been a glint in the eye since 8000 BC. With so many practical uses, its workability, conductivity, durability, anti-bacterial properties and recyclability, it’s no wonder this iconic material is used in so many areas of modern life – the beauty and splendour of its colour has been adopted in the hair industry too. Using various hues and shades of copper to create striking, powerful looks - this one will never become extinct! Classic Blonde We’re always striving for the perfect blonde - but what is the perfect blonde? Well, for the blonde of the moment think classic, old school glamour. Not too platinum, not too ash, and never yellow; look to create a softer, more delicate colour that compliments skin tone. Blonde that is pretty and timeless, where the colourist uses placement of the hair to frame the face. Walnut The spectrum of colour between blonde and brunette is, to the trained eye, a medium to dark blonde; and to the untrained, a light brown. In contrast to a deep brunette, a medium blonde that echoes the colour of a walnut shell which lifts and lightens to give a multidimensional presence. This delicate colour used in combination with a peekaboo balayage placement technique gives an edgy, exciting, contemporary look.
