Hot on the heels of Kim and Pete\u2019s matching platinum blonde transformation, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly stepped out for the premiere of the Life in Pink documentary with appropriately coordinating hair colours. While MGK lived up to his film\u2019s title with a vibrant fuchsia, Megan kept things more understated with a pastel rose gold. Whether it\u2019s a wig or a more permanent departure from her trademark brunette, there\u2019s no denying that the pair\u2019s parallel pinks make an impact.<\/p>\n
Couples with coordinating colour are nothing new \u2013 Brad Pitt famously adapted his look seemingly in tune with his romantic partners; from beachy balayage while dating Jennifer Aniston to a platinum crop that paired perfectly with Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s Sliding Doors <\/i>style. The Beckhams often keep their shade switches in sync, and even Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain shared a bleach blonde phase.<\/p>\n
Twinning tones for BFFs, families and friendship groups is also a trend \u2013 with more than 175 million views on TikTok for \u2018matching hair\u2019 and #twinfluencers like the Clermont Twins, Angel and Dren and Simi and Haze all presenting the power of a double-whammy dye job.<\/p>\n
British Hairdresser of the Year Robert Eaton knows the impact of a power pairing, and often doubles up his models in shoot to create more of a colourful impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUsing two models in a shot allows you to really put the hair centre stage,\u201d says Rob. \u201cWhen I use duos, it\u2019s about sharing as much hairdressing content as possible and creating powerful looks that resonate.\u201d<\/p>\n When it comes to creating coordinating colours in the salon, Rob stresses the importance of client suitability. \u201cUltimately, hair colour has to suit the individual above all else,\u201d he says. \u201cColour is bespoke, which means we need to take into account hair type, texture and condition, as well as skin tone, maintenance and commitment levels. Consultation is key, and it\u2019s important to manage expectations and be realistic. Your client needs to know that while we can usually achieve a colour result that\u2019s similar to someone else\u2019s, we\u2019ll always prioritise suitability.\u201d<\/p>\n Rob explains that selecting the right shade means that there are ways to make most colours work. \u201cFor example, there\u2019s a blonde for everyone,\u201d he says. \u201cBut the tone must be right, and the application and technique are also important \u2013 and that applies to all colours. There\u2019s lots to consider, and we\u2019ll always focus on what works for the individual.\u201d<\/p>\n For clients who do want to try the coordinating look, Rob says: \u201cTo pair colours, it\u2019s all about looking at a colour family and picking the ones that complement each other \u2013 although contrast can work well too. If a client wants the same colour as someone else, it\u2019s important that they bring plenty of visuals \u2013 but remember, you can\u2019t replicate one look on someone else, and we\u2019ll always consider hair type, texture and skin tone so we can find something that works for you, while respecting your hair integrity and condition.\u201d<\/p>\n Feeling inspired to coordinate your colour this summer? Here are some of our favourite looks from Rob\u2019s archives for a matchy-matchy moment.<\/p>\n 90s Muse<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe colour choices for this collection were inspired by United Colours of Benetton. For me the 90s fashion revival also represents a return to classic techniques \u2013 like block and full colour applications and a revival of foiling. For each pair, I worked with a combination of saturated high gloss colour on one model, and a more lived-in colour on the other \u2013 both in complementary tones.\u201d<\/p>\n Chromatic\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \u201cFor my first brunette look, I wanted to create variations of brunette tones and incorporate them into very commercial 70s-inspired shapes. For the green looks, I used an emerald palette with a veneer of colour over the hair. On the final set, I used soft muted beiges with a real natural quality to them.\u201d<\/p>\n Colour ID<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThis collection was created around the concept of each model having her own colour ID and creating bold looks that reflect the demand for more personalised, bespoke services. There\u2019s a real festival feel to both the smudged blends on the left, and the contrast of short cuts in sheer washes of bold shades.\u201d<\/p>\n Reflect<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThese images seek to showcase each muse\u2019s individuality through cut, colour and styling, even when partnered with a second model. The bespoke finishes were specifically chosen to bring to life facets of their personalities and personal aesthetic, for a powerful vision of modern beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Coordinating Colour Makes an Impact for SS22 Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly make the case for his \u2018n\u2019 hers hair with their new matching pink looks \u2013 but British Hairdresser of the Year Robert Eaton did coordinating colour first…\u00a0 [Images for reference only, via Arturo Holmes and James McCarthy for Getty Entertainment] Hot on […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3316"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3316"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3316\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3321,"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3316\/revisions\/3321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.russelleatonhair.com\/leeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\u00a0 <\/span>
