Blonde Ambition
It’s hard to resist the hues of mermaid and unicorn hair plastered all over social media. And while achieving that dream hair colour might appear to be only a hop, step and a jump away from a trip to the salon — with a dangerously empty bank account being the only thing stopping you — do you really have all the info on hand to take the ultimate bleach plunge? Anuradha Withanachchi checks off all the things a Lankan girl needs to know before going full-on Khaleesi with those black tresses.
It’s safe to say that us Sri Lankan kellas have certainly won the genetic lottery when it comes to hair. Thick, voluminous black manes are birth rights on this sunny island, and we love that. But, while our Morticia Addamsesque locks are great, so is the new platinum blonde that Kim Kardashian’s rocking RN. A little change never hurt nobody, right?
But, before you jump online to place that Manic Panic order, make sure to hit a brief pause. While we know it’s going to cost a pretty penny and involve loads of coconut oil, is that all we really need to consider? We sat down for a chat with Kenneth Lowe, senior colour technician and senior stylist at Toni & Guy, and Dinesh Anderson, hair technician at The Cutting Station to spill the tea on all bleaching matters.
HAVE A LONG DEEP CHAT...
