Editor’s tip: Don’t forget that if you’re colouring your tresses, you should switch your wash and care system to one formulated with coloured tresses in mind.
We love the TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Vibrance Protection Shampoo and Conditioner for keeping your colour looking vibrant for up to 40 washes, so it’s well worth it if you want your colour to last.
4. Ombre
Although a great colouring option for all lengths, those with longer tresses have the advantage of making their ombre look extra amazing.
From golden brown hues on dark hair to bleached tones on blonde hair, and ombre finish could be the stylish update your mane has been waiting for.
