There is a new hair color in your salon
Every so often a new color is born (with a cute name in English or French) that makes us all long teeth and makes us want to go straight to the hair to change our look. If you succumbed to Californians, fell in love with balayages and then swapped them for babylights, we're going to tempt you with a new trend: smoked marshmallow.

No, they are not the typical little clouds that the Americans burn in their camping … Well, actually, yes, because what this new coloring does is to imitate the effect of fire on these immaculate white sweets. It was created by the stylist Megan Martínez in California and she herself recognized in an interview that it is a technique very similar to that of balayage highlights.
How is it done?

Well, as they are inspired by the famous balayage, the technique is the same, the sweep. The roots are left darker and the tone becomes lighter towards the ends. The difference is that here the color jump is greater, so it starts with a natural brown and ends in a beautiful almost platinum blonde (or platinum altogether, depending on the length).
A lot of movement

One of its great advantages is that it gives the hair a lot of movement, just like most wicks do, on the other hand. However, it is most noticeable with a layered cut, as it also contributes to giving the hair a more natural finish.

If the Smoked marshmallow tone has not conquered you yet, this will surely convince you: it does not require (almost) maintenance. Forget going to the hair every month to touch up the roots, because it is completely unnecessary. In fact, the grace of this tone is that the root is quite visible, so if it grows and is seen, the better.
Rejuvenating effect

Another point in its favor is that it has an immediate rejuvenating effect on the face. It is capable of giving a lot of light if applied in the right way. And of that the colorists of the hairdressing salons know a lot. They are true experts in hair contouring.
Versions for all tastes

Smoked marshmallow is especially suitable for girls with natural brown hair, but it is also suitable for blondes and brunettes. You just have to adapt the final shade to the base shade. It can evolve to a platinum blonde, like the one in the image on the left, or it can lead to a more golden blonde tone.
Girls, we have a new hair color hitting Instagram. It's called none other than Smoked Marshmallow and it promises to become spring's most sought-after hair shade. Among the reasons why it is spreading like foam is that absolutely everyone can wear it, regardless of what our base tone is. In addition, it is very easy to maintain. So much so that you can forget about stepping on the hair in months.

No, they are not those white clouds that Americans scorch on their (apparently) numerous field trips. Well, yes, the coloring gets that name because it tries to imitate the effect that fire leaves on those famous sweets . Gets it? Well, it seems that it is quite close.
This new coloring technique starts from the classic balayage, that is, it is done in a sweeping way and makes a gradient from the roots, which remains of its natural tone, to the ends. These can be golden blonde or even platinum.
Of course, it is a great way for chestnuts and brunettes to dare to try blonde hair without completely compromising their hair or being tied to too frequent visits to the salon.
