In-Salon: Solid Colour
Solid colour does not have to be dull and boring! As we see more people revert back to basics, McMahon agrees that "solid, all over colour is going to be huge".
"It will still need to reflect light with lots of gorgeous gloss, but we'll see more of that solid finish. This will be a combination of balayage and babylights melting together - it's bringing those two together and creating what the consumer would see as a solid colour, but it is still multi-tonal with lots of variation within," she continued.
Thus, with imperceptible balayage and babylights for added dimension, you can get the most out of your salon visit - no need for frequent visits!
Styling Techniques
Give your hair that salon look at home while preserving your hair health. McMahon, who is a fan of the bouncy blow-out, opts for a natural boar brush, which she uses while drying the hair.
"I'm loving the natural boar bristle brush movement as it leaves the hair looking super glossy and shiny while still bouncy with lots of volume," McMahon says.

At-home maintenance
To preserve your hair colour, McMahon recommends investing in your hair routine.
"You want to be masking, sometimes if your hair has had a double hit of colour, you want to be double masking! A mask through the roots and the mid ends is great to combat any oiliness or flakiness, while a mask on the lengths and ends will hydrate and condition," she said.
"The Wella Professionals ColorMotion+ Structure+ Mask is one of my favourites."
