Edwards & Co Visits Manila

In mid-2017, Lakmé welcomed the Edwards and Co Team from Australia, winner of Australia’s best salon for 2017, who trained our stylists for several days on the newest trend – Lived-In Color.

Lived-in Color is a coloring technique that mimics natural brunettes and blondes by adding depth and dimension to the hair. If we look closely at natural brunettes and natural blondes their hair is not just one color, but several tones – lighter because of the sun and darker because of growth at the root.

Recreating this technique on dark Filipina hair involves doing a balayage, (painting in French), a freehand movement that’s more difficult than it looks as the stylist tries to catch where the light will hit the hair to gain maximum effect. The stylist paints in a highlight, a low light and a mid-tone to create movement in the hair.

Because the root area is purposely left dark, the wearer can enjoy her lived-in color for two to three months with minimal retouch.
