If you’re feeling bored and uninspired while under lockdown and are desperate to try something new just to shake things up a bit, I’ve got the perfect thing for you. While it does require an adventurous spirit (and an understanding boss, if you do have to venture out to work), tequila sunrise hair is one of the most vibrant and beautiful beauty trends I’ve seen in a long time.
- Who wouldn’t want to walk around looking like a delicious cocktail? If you’ve never had a tequila sunrise, you’re missing out. The cocktail consists of grenadine, tequila, triple sec, orange juice, and a cocktail cherry – not to mention one of those adorable little paper umbrellas as a garnish. What’s not to love about that?
- Just like its namesake, tequila sunrise hair is super summery. We’re heading into the longest, hottest, sunniest days of the year here and we ought to be ready for it. While 2020 hasn’t been stellar by any stretch of the imagination, why not make the best of a bad situation and get into the spirit over the next few months by dyeing our hair really wacky colors? Sounds like a plan to me!
- Technically speaking, it’s a combo of “peachy pink and tangerine.” The awesome women at Tyla, who coined the “tequila sunrise” part of the hair trend, spoke to professional colorist Dylan McConnachie from SALON64 to find out how to go about getting the look. “Tequila sunrise is the perfect combination of peachy pink and tangerine,” Dylan said. “This bold new look is ideal for those with warmer skin tones as it won’t leave you feeling washed out.” However, he warns that those with darker hair will need to gradually lighten their locks to get the full effect, adding, “If you are naturally dark, you will need to go lighter to achieve this tone, or it will fade quickly.” Fair enough!
- Even if you can accomplish this at home, you should proceed with caution. While it would be best to wait for hair salons to reopen so a professional can put this together, if you’re desperate to try tequila sunrise hair from home, make sure you’re caring for your hair and scalp along the way. “I would recommend getting the tone refreshed with a semi-permanent toner and shampoo with colour protect shampoo,” Dylan says regarding aftercare. “To keep your hair healthy, make sure you use a masque to condition the hair as much as possible.”
