Rooted Soft Pink
The 2016 pink era is back, and it’s softer, smokier and more wearable. Joico Global Brand Ambassador Larisa Love (@larisadoll) modernizes the nostalgic rose-gold trend with a deeper shadow root, diffused blush-pink mids and a textured bob finish that feels equal parts soft grunge and salon-polished.
Pro Tip for a True Soft Pink: “Always pre-tone before applying Joico Color Intensity to get the exact results of the Color Intensity tone,” Larisa shares. “A blank canvas is a must.”
