Kaia Gerbers shade of brunette is something we need to talk about. Her head of hair should be a reference picture for anyone going to the salon and wanting the perfect shade. Her signature look has become its own talking point for a while now and here at the loxx I want to break down why it works and how to achieve it yourself easily.

Kaia’s shade has the perfect level of depth because it doesn’t wash her out and has a warm tone throughout, this creates a richness to her hair which gives it that expensive finish. Her shade contains depth but also so many different tones making it 3 dimensional. Maximum shine is one of the things most brunettes love about their freshly coloured hair.

If you look at Kaias hair the overall shade is brunette but she still has a darker root shadow coloured in and sunkissed ends - this mimicks what the hair does naturally when we are in the sun and creates a flattering finish on anyone. When you see your stylist get them to colour your hair this way to create dimension and depth throughout the hair. Her shade achieves glossy, silky & smooth finishes that is what we are calling the ‘coffee glaze’. Keep on top of your shade with regular glosses in salon and colour extending hair care like Redkens acidic colour gloss shampoo and conditioner (£46.26 on www.lookfantastic.com - 10% off at the moment!). For an at home top up Josh woods colour hair gloss in chocolate is incredible to refresh the hair inbetween salon visits (£19 on www.lookfantastic.com).
