L’Oréal Professionnel’s Majirel recently underwent a massive image revamp with new packaging and presentation styles that truly bring out the essence of the brand. However, technology, shades, and colour code of the hair colouring product remained the same. Beauty Launchpad was invited to experience this exciting new change at the L’Oréal Professionnel Academy in New Delhi. Isha Gakhar had all the fun, in getting her hair a brand new L’Oréal Majirel look. Trying out the Style My Hair Pro app made this quite the day to remember and she settled on a fiery colour for a Balayage finish. The process began with a ‘Before’ picture of her hair colour, followed by a detailed discussion with the team on hair history and colouring habits. Due to frequent hair colouring sessions, Isha’s hair was dry and frizzy — transforming it into a completely different colour was next to impossible. The team suggested sticking with the red colour family that her hair was already in, rather than pre-lighting and changing the colour tone which could damage the hair further. As she was keen on highlights, the experts suggested a red balayage. The transformation was executed by Lucky Sambi and Ranjan Kumar Roy of Hair Masters Luxury Salon - Rajinder Nagar, mentored by Sonam Passi from the LP Technical Team. The colouring process was combined with a SMARTBOND, as Isha colours her hair often. Red colour is expected to bleed after a few washes, and so, it is advised to use the right shampoo and conditioner to retain the vibrancy. *These views are personal of the author.

Top 5 Hair Colouring Techniques to Try in 2020 Everyone loves looking good — it shouldn’t be difficult to commit to a new hairstyle. This decade begins with a new definition of beauty — ‘Bold’. Time to try something new and step out of the comfort zones. So, instead of the usual ‘just a trim’, step into the salons and introduce your hair to hair colour! And, here are five hair colour techniques that you should know about: Balayage: Right at the top of our list is the free-hand hair colouring technique that gives you a natural finish. No wonder it is the current favourite across age groups. While it may sound simple, this is a salon service you would want an experienced hairdresser to take charge of, as it is quite artistic as much as it is technical. Highlights: If you like to keep up with trends but don’t want to over-indulge, try the tried-and-tested highlights that never seem to go out of fashion. Also, it is the ideal hair colouring technique to enhance your natural hair colour and make it look fuller. Lowlights: While highlights involve lightening a few strands of hair, lowlights is all about using a darker tone on a few strands of your hair. Baby Lights (Baby Blond Lights): This delicate, white-blond highlights created using a fine colour technique to mimic a blond hue, works well on all hair colours and types. Ombré: Ombré, as you might already know from make-up and fashion, is blending one hue into another – usually lighter tints into darker tones. It is usually darker at the roots and then, gradually gets lighter from the mid-shaft to the ends. — Report by Sushmita Mathur
