Colour Expert Tanya Jackson on how to get rich-girl hair this winter.
So now that fall's goth looks are in full swing should we all be dying our hair raven black? "Definitely not" say colourist Tanya Jackson of i.daburn salon (1073 Cambie St. 604-694-0639, www.idaburn.com) noting that this fall in particular, a lot of the blonde models didn't go dark. Known for creating natural-looking, baby-fine highlights ("The chunky, stripey highlights of the early '90s should never be repeated"), Jackson prefers the other trend she's seeing: "the wealthy Harvard schoolgirl with clean, finished hair." To achieve the collegiate polish, she suggests using L'Oreal Professionnel's new Lumino shampoo ($18.95) for coloured hair ("Blondes are going to love it") and applying a smoothing balm like L'Oreal Professionnel Colour Show Liss Cream ($28.95) before blow-drying. She finishes her colour job with the professional Richesse glosser "for an extra layer of shine," and mixes in lighter tones of highlights on brunettes, "melted into the hair," as seen on Daria and Gisele. "Blondes get scared when they hear "lowlights," but they don't have to be that dark. You want to achieve a tone that's not too yellow, not too ash, not too warn, not too cool, "Sandy beiege? Jackson laughs. "Champagne."
