Essenza Transformation Peach Sable Highlights from Alfaparf Milano

Reinvent the art of subtle blending, turning a simple highlight into a multifaceted effect using the Essenza technique. This peach sable hue from Alfaparf Milano is an alternative to the classic golden highlight—combining a copper and violet mixture, which when blended creates a more contemporary feel. The finished color has more warmth and depth, giving it a more modern look. The Essenza coloring technique is also ideal for straight or wavy hair styles. With this technique color merges and changes the hair, adding multidimensional tones to bring about a subtle, yet luxurious change.
