What Does Enhancing Your Natural Hair Color Mean?

Enhancing your natural hair color means making it richer, glossier and healthier-looking, all without changing the overall tonal direction. Put simply, it's a 'your shade but better' upgrade, which keeps your natural highlights and lowlights intact. This can also include soft grey blending to sweep silver strays away imperceptibly, so your camouflage appears entirely seamless (as if those greys were never there!).

The right natural-looking hair color will also work to cancel out any unwanted tones. For example, if your hair lifts slightly warmer than you'd like in summer, your Supernatural Color can be carefully mixed to cool things down. It will also deliver root-to-tip shine and unrivalled radiance. With a formula that actually strengthens¹ strands, suddenly hair coloring feels more like a treatment than a transformation.

Supernatural Color is non-lightening, but if you do want to brighten up your natural blonde, it tones your highlights in the most believably sun-kissed way.

The shade: Cashew Blonde

4. Adding Subtle Depth and Dimension

If you want a natural-looking way to subtly darken your natural hair color, Supernatural Color will add the most wearable, radiant depth. It is a color switch, so it goes a little further than 'enhancement', but this is an ideal approach if you like to go deeper as the seasons change.

The shade: Espresso Brunette

How to Maintain Supernatural Color

1. Wash with a Mild Sulfate-Free Shampoo

The gentlest color-safe shampoos are formulated without sulfates, replacing them with mild surfactants that keep your hair clean, healthy and moisturized. These are exactly the kind of formulas you need, and ULTIMATE COLOR Shampoo delivers. Though gentle, it purifies strands, neutralizes shade-distorting metals, and gives you up to 10 weeks of color vibrancy³.

Massage it into the roots of your hair, then let the lather run through the lengths as you rinse. This gives you a gentler cleanse on the more porous ends, helping to keep color locked in for longer.

2. Reduce Your Rinsing Steps

Healthy hair relies on masks to stay soft and hydrated, but the more you expose your color to water, the quicker that natural-looking shade will fade. That's why we developed ULTIMATE COLOR Miracle Leave-In Mask, a deep treatment you apply post-shower, then leave on while you dry and style – no rinsing required. It's packed with Vitamin B5 and Glycine, plus a range of moisturizing ingredients that give you up to 4x more resistance to breakage⁴ and a dose of shimmering shine.

3. Turn Up the Shine at Home

Enhancing your natural hair color isn't just about adding rich, radiant tones. It's also about dialling up the gloss at home with a veil of shine spray. Use one specifically for color treated hair, like ULTIMATE COLOR Shine Spray, and mist it over dry hair after styling and in between wash days. A light spritz will add instant luminosity while leaving your hair up to 4x smoother⁵. Plus, with fruity and floriental notes of orange zest, apple and leafy greens, it adorns strands in the freshest, most alluring scent.
