At some point in a woman’s life they get their hair colored or colored, especially in Miami, It’ a way switch things up, express yourself, though many colorists can tell you, keeping color can be expensive and  can be painstaking, especially if you choose blonde! You may find yourself at the salon every month or buying at-home dyes or touch-ups. When your hair grows the color grows out as well, leading to the unwanted, awkward showing of roots. The solution is found in a newer direction or trend is — lived-in hair.

THE LIVED – IN COLOR

Have you already tried ombré, balayage, and all the rest? Then you should give lived – in a try! Today’s most popular streaking style looks especially good on blondes for a lived in blonde look and brunettes for a loved in brunette look.

The principle: your own natural hair color or highlights of similar nuances are worked into colored hair. This is done so deftly and delicately that no transitions are visible. While this may not really sound new, the secret is in the details. Lived – in is reminiscent of grown-out color–more messy than tidy. This is much cooler in Miami today than an accurately colored mane. You should choose this coloration innovation if that is the style you love. Rather than having to wait, you can get the casual grown-out look right here with our master colorist at our Miami Beach salon. By the way, lived – in hair works best in combination with relaxed waves–flat at the hairline and softly undulating in the lengths.

HOW THE LIVED – IN COLOR WORKS

If you’re a regular on World Red Eye or lead an active lifestyle going to the gym at Anatomy or doing yoga at Green Monkey Yoga on Miami beach every day, lived – in color works for every occasion.

Integrating your own natural hair color is a big plus your color will appear ultra-natural even though it is skillfully created. Our master colorist offers free consultations to ensure coloration success as the technique is rather tricky and elaborate. While the procedure can take a few hours, the result lasts that much longer. There is no need to color your hair again for at least three months.

HOW LIVED – IN HAIR COLOR IS DONE

It works on any hair color and complements you in any situation, whether you’re just out running errands or walking down a runway. It’s part sophisticated bedhead, part effortlessly chic, and it gives you the appearance of “Oh, I can’t be bothered with my hair color” while having jaw-dropping locks. We start by searching for your natural hair color! After trying several color trends and lightening their hair, many women are far removed from their natural hair tone. This however, needs to be determined. The best hairdressers have a good eye for that and are able to discern the original blonde or brown well. Hint: the best way to identify your natural hair color is in daylight at the hairline. Once the right nuance is found, the hairline is first dyed with the mixed natural hair color. Lived in Color is neither balayage or ombré, it’s a way of blending highlights and color to allow your color to grow out naturally. The lived in look is an end result. It’s a look that can actually be achieved doing a balayage or foilayage or highlights depending on the amount of lift desired.

Then streaks of this hairline color are worked all the way into the lengths. Finally, strands of lighter shades are added for sophisticated highlights. Lived – in hair color appears particularly natural when the strands have different lengths and widths. The best thing about it: with this coloration method, you can let your hair grow out untroubled. It is, after all, your natural color and bothersome contrasts at the hairline are avoided while the streaked style creates a modern effect. And it lasts for weeks. Lived-in color upkeep is minimal. Rather than finding a gorgeous color that works for you and having to return every handful of weeks to maintain that look, lived-in color allows you to only need a touch-up every 3-6 months.
