The Hair Color That Looks Good On Everyone: Extreme Magenta
It’s no secret — metallic jewel tones and pretty pastel shades have been trending for a while. Although we love to see it, where are all the big, beautiful, and bold hair colors?
Spotlight on: Extreme Magenta — a versatile color making waves in various tones. It packs a powerful punch with a gorgeous marbled combination of warm and cool tones, making it pop on a range of starting colors. But this trend is far from new. In fact, it’s come full circle and is, dare we say, better than ever? JK, we’re not worthy of the early 2000s, Kate and Gwen. *Take us back*.
You might have spotted Extreme Magenta on celebrities like Megan Fox or musical artists such as Lizzo, or perhaps seen your favorite influencer rocking this poppin’ pink hue. What we love about this expressive color trend is that it’s done right by people of all ages, skin tones, and hair textures. From blunt bobs to chic curls, the magenta hair color trend has no limits. No, seriously, it looks good on literally EVERYONE.
Just ask @lynettejoselly, a Miami-based fashion, beauty, and lifestyle blogger turned small business owner who used oVertone’s Extreme Magenta Coloring Duo to breathe new life into this Y2K color vibe. From dusty, dark blonde to marvelous magenta, read on to see how Lynette added a serious jolt of color and rich undertones to her bodacious curls.
WHAT’S NEEDED:
Alligator Clips
Reusable Gloves
STEP 01: Use alligator clips to divide your hair into sections neatly. @lynettejoselly went with two messy space buns, perfect for her big, beautiful curls.
STEP 02: Use reusable gloves to keep your hands mess free when applying color to your hair.
STEP 03: Scoop a TBSP amount size of Extreme Magenta Coloring Conditioner into the palm of your hand and start adding color to sections of hair, starting from the roots and working the color to your ends.
NOTE: @lynettejoselly started from the bottom layers and worked her way up, first on the right side and then continuing the process on the left. There is no correct way to apply color. Do what feels right to you.
STEP 04: After completely saturating the bottom layers, carefully apply color to the top layers and hairline.
STEP 05: Embody @lynettejoselly vibes and do a little happy dance while you wait for your color to set (10-15 minutes).
STEP 06: Rinse and style. Because of her big, gorgeous curls, @lynettejoselly applies leave-in conditioner by combing it into her hair. This method can help curls appear healthier and more defined with less frizz.
STEP 07: BOOM! Jaw-dropping, magenta madness serving a serious pop of color that compliments her eye color and skin tone. STUNNING!
