Pastel Hair Picks from Pravana

Rock a Pantone-inspired dual color combo this season.

 As Pantone revealed its official colors for 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity, throughout the past year and beyond, pastel shades like those chosen by this trendsetter have continued to be hot with celebrities and influencers when it comes to hair color. Kylie Jenner, Hilary Duff, January Jones and Nicole Richie have recently rocked pastel hair hues.
 
Like Rose Quartz and Serenity, these tranquil shades are great introductions to the world of creative hair color for clients who maybe aren’t ready to go full rainbow on their strands. These types of shades often come with less commitment plus tone the lightened hair underneath. 
 
Pro hair care brand Pravana shared with Happi how to incorporate these hues into color! Artistic Educator Shurie Saxelby put together the following formulas using Pravana VIVIDS and the new ChromaSilk Express Tones to create Rose Quartz and Serenity on strands:
