Living Coral Hair: How To Wear Pantone’s Colour Of The Year

To get the look, apply the mixed dyes generously to shampooed, towel-dried hair, massage through mid-lengths, ensuring you have evenly covered your hair, then leave to develop for 30 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and style as you like. 

As for maintenance, expert colourist and internationally acclaimed hair stylist Josh Wood’s advice is to condition, condition, condition – at least once a week depending on your hair type. As for colour top ups, try every one to two weeks for Asian and caucasian hair types, and Koné recommends those with Afro hair to refresh the colour every two to three weeks.

Try the Dizziak Deep Conditioner (£22) for a nourishing, afro-friendly formula enriched with quinoa protein, coconut and argan oils to ease dryness and repair damaged strands – which FYI is a downside to colouring hair. Or try the L’Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Coloured Hair Mask (£5.09) for an equally effective alternative, whose creamy texture keeps coloured hair radiant and soft to touch. 

Below we’ve rounded up the most inspiring ways to wear and style living coral locks.
