In short, coral is an invigorating shade! In beauty, it will enhance your complexion and highlight your healthy glow, so you can enjoy a vacation vibe all year long. Its golden hue makes it soft and allows it to be worn both summer and winter to combat the cold and gloom with your good mood.
Coral nails, summer and winter
Often associated with summer, coral has been adopted for some time on summer manicures. For those who didn't dare to wear it on their hands, it was perfect on a pedicure to highlight your tan and your summer sandals.
This year, coral is not a color exclusively reserved for summer. It will be found on winter manicures to brighten up your looks that tend to darken with the arrival of cold weather. You can therefore enjoy this color full of life to feel revitalized throughout the seasons.

Dare to wear colored eyeshadow!
Eyeshadow isn't your thing, but to adopt a bright shade like coral, you're not sure how... And yet! This year, orange-toned makeup tutorials are blooming by the hundreds on social networks.
You can adopt it discreetly with a light coral on the mobile eyelid to enhance your gaze or rather a bold and elaborate orange for a striking makeup look.

A beautiful and sparkling smile
If you're not daring enough for eyeshadow yet, you can always fall back on another makeup item like lipstick, for example. There are many variations of coral, some more pronounced than others.
For the more discreet, choose a tinted lip balm or a soft coral. For those who prefer a bolder color, opt for a more intense coral, ideal for dressing up your lips day or night.

What about hair?
We talk a lot about makeup, but hair can also succumb to this trend. For this, if you are blonde, you can easily opt for a temporary or semi-permanent coloring that will offer you a pastel or more intense coral depending on your preferences.
You can therefore treat yourself to an original color for an evening or several weeks before succumbing to a permanent coloring if the Peach Hair trend catches your eye!

Recommended products for coral hair care: secrets to longevity
Maintaining the vibrancy of your coral hair requires specific products:
Pigmented shampoo is your best ally to revive the color between two colorings. Choose one with pink or peach pigments depending on your shade of coral. Limit washing to 2-3 times a week to preserve color intensity.
Manic Panic repigmenting masks revive highlights and intensely nourish the hair fiber. Use them weekly to maintain shine and hydration. To strengthen hair weakened by bleaching, incorporate a keratin-based repairing mask into your routine.
Cold water is your ally! It closes the hair cuticles and locks in pigments. Finish each rinse with a stream of cold water. Also avoid prolonged sun exposure, which accelerates fading – a headband or protective hat is recommended in summer.
Sulfate-free products are essential to preserve color. These gentle cleansing agents do not attack pigments and maintain the optimal condition of your hair.

Current trends in coral hairstyles
Coral hairstyles are making a splash this season with several striking trends:
Coral balayage stands out for its subtlety and ease of maintenance. This technique adds coral highlights to a blonde or light brown base without requiring complete bleaching. For more shine, brandish your teasing brush on colored strands.
Coral dip-dye, on the other hand, offers a striking contrast between your natural roots and vibrant coral ends. This technique requires less maintenance as regrowth is an integral part of the style. Accessorize with a matching headband for a coordinated look.
For the more daring, pink roots melting into a vibrant coral create a breathtaking sunset effect. This technique requires prior bleaching but offers spectacular results. Manic Panic offers kits specially designed for these color gradients.
Braided hairstyles highlighting the different shades of coral are also trendy. Use a special brush to create clean sections before braiding. Finish with a matching headband for a bohemian chic look.

Frequently asked questions about coral hair
How to choose the right shade of coral for my hair?
The choice of the ideal shade depends on several factors: your skin tone, the condition of your hair and your natural base type.
For fair skin with pink undertones, prefer a pastel or pink-coral that will soften your complexion. Olive or darker skin tones
will be enhanced by more intense shades with orange reflections.
The condition of your hair also influences this choice. Damaged hair retains pigments differently and may require gentler bleaching. Consult a professional colorist to assess the health of your hair fiber before any bleaching.
Your natural color determines the level of bleaching required. Light hair requires fewer steps to achieve a vibrant coral, while dark hair will require more significant bleaching. To avoid damaging your hair, consider options like coral balayage which requires more targeted bleaching.
Test with a temporary color first before committing to a permanent change.
What products should I use for long-lasting coral hair color?
For long-lasting color, opt for brands specializing in vibrant colors like Manic Panic, renowned for their hold and vibrant pigments. Their vegan formulas offer shine and intensity without compromise.
Before coloring, prepare your hair with a pre-coloring treatment that evens out porosity. If bleaching is necessary, opt for low-ammonia products to preserve the hair fiber.
After coloring, use only sulfate-free shampoos specially formulated for colored hair. Supplement your routine with a weekly repairing mask to maintain your hair's hydration and shine.
Leave-in products with UV filters help protect your color from sun-induced fading. To revive the shine between colorings, temporary colored serums offer an instant boost without damaging your hair.
How to care for coral colored hair?
Maintenance begins with an adapted washing routine. Limit the frequency of shampoos and use cold water to seal the cuticles and lock in pigments.
Integrate a pigmented shampoo into your routine once a week to revive the color. Alternate with a sulfate-free shampoo to preserve the integrity of your hair.
Nourishing masks are essential after bleaching. Opt for formulas rich in proteins and natural oils to restore your hair's hydration and suppleness.
Protect your hair from excessive heat. Set your thermal tools to minimum and always apply a protective spray. For drying, prefer air drying or use a diffuser at moderate temperature.
Accessories like a silk headband can reduce friction during sleep, thus limiting pigment loss and preserving the condition of your colored hair.
And you, how will you adopt this trendy color this year?
