Oil Slick Hair Trend

For those who like to stand out from the crowd but also that want to give their hair optimum shine, one of my favourite hair colour trends for the new season will be oil slick hair.

Although still a stand out hair colour, this trend is a more subtle take on trends like the recent rainbow hair colour trend and peekaboo hair colour.

This trend takes inspiration from oil being spilled or oil in water and sees a dark brunette or black base paired with the placement of blue, green and purple tones in the hair for a truly mesmerising finish.

This hair colour trend looks best on those with a dark base, as the colours blend in beautifully and the combination of dark hues create an immense shine within the hair. However. Blondes can still incorporate these tones within their hair if they want to add a pop of colour for the season and something more unique than that of the subtle pastel tones we would usually see within blonde hair.

This colour trend looks best on healthy looking hair and stylists should discuss with their clients the upkeep of this look at home with hair masks and treatments, as well as using a colour saving shampoo like L'Oreal Colour Protecting Shampoo to keep colour looking bright and long-lasting.

To show off this colour at its best, hair should be cut bluntly, styled sleek and finished with a hair serum or oil to enhance the colour as much as possible and to give the hair a glass like shine. The L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil is one of my favourites that I would apply on damp hair prior to styling and dry hair after styling for optimum shine and to allow those colours to really pop.
