How to get sun-kissed “natural” highlights

Ok, so I’m not a surfer – but what girl or boy for that matter has not dreamed of having those beautiful highlights perfectly speckled through their hair. I just want my Baywatch moment! Sunset rays flickering on me as I carry my surfboard into the water… A girl can dream. Well it turns out it’s not so easy. It takes a hair ninja like Rianni Hustler from Jet Black Ginger and about 2.5 hours.

4 important things to know about hair color

• Did you know you’re not supposed to go in pool water before you dye your hair?

• You must let your hair specialist know if you have used boxed hair dye – it requires a different process, so speak up. Confess that you were cheating on your hair dresser with boxed dye.

• After-care for highlights? Well the sad truth is you should not go in pool water ever again. Since we live in Bali, we sure know we will go for a swim in the amazing beach club pools. Advice if you inevitably go in pool water then – make sure you rinse and apply conditioner after. 

• Apply toner to keep your new healthy looking hair as fresh as possible, do so every 3 weeks.
