Stylists know that when clients come in requesting creative color, brunette beauties can be a bit more challenging than their blonde counterparts thanks to the necessary pre-lightening involved in the process. Thankfully, rainbow hair isn’t just for blondes! With the oil slick hair trend, even dark-haired beauties can rock the VIVIDS look without having to do extreme lightening from roots to ends.
Oil slick got its name from the iridescent, intertwined rainbow shades found in spilled oil on the ground. The look, with its dark base and less-extensive required lightening, is an ideal technique for brunettes!
PRAVANA Guest Artist and colorist at Sally Hershberger LA Jessica Gonzalez (@jesstheebesttcolor) created a gorgeous, soft, spring version of the oil slick hair trend using the new VIVIDS jewel-toned shades combined with pastel colors. By incorporating deep, inky strands into the softer shades, the final result is a perfectly colorful, multidimensional transition into the warmer spring and summer months! Mix and match the shades of your choice for your best oil slick yet!
