The food-inspired hair-color trend isn't going away anytime soon. Need proof? Just take one look at berry sorbet hair, a fruit-inspired hair color I spied on the 'gram, and brainchild of Amber Lloyd, a hairstylist based in Houston. Her mixture of cool-toned reds into a deeper black have us loving how simple yet dynamic a look like this can really be.
Here's how this fiery, fruity shade came to life: “My client was used to having pink hair, so I wanted to give her something bright and different while still keeping it in the same color family,” Lloyd tells Allure. “I mixed up this punchy coral tone and a coworker threw the name ‘berry sorbet’ out there.” To achieve the fruity hue, Lloyd broke the coloring into two sessions. In the first session, she started with a level eight-to-nine blonde and applied a permanent red at the roots before doing a backcombed "foilyage" technique to create a blended canvas that would allow for a dimensional look. Then, during the second session, she achieved the color we fell in love with by splitting the hair into four quadrants and using diagonal sections to apply the fuchsia hue to the middle and the coral on the ends. Once the color was applied, she blended the two together with her fingers and a wide-tooth comb for a seamless transition between colors.
While the final look appears a touch brighter than the color name suggests, it’s a blessing to learn that this color can suit all skin tones. “With a mix of soft coral, pink, and purple tones, I believe this color can compliment everyone,” Lloyd tells Allure. “Just keep in mind that if you have pink undertones in your skin, these colors will bring those out.”
If you’re thinking about making this double-tap worthy color your own, remember to rethink your hair-care routine. “These fashion colors are very high maintenance,” Lloyd says. “Clients should only be shampooing once or twice a week. It’s important that they use cool water and professional color-safe shampoo and conditioner. The usage of heat tools should be minimized as well, and a heat protectant should always be used. The longevity of these colors is very dependent on the at-home care.”
