The new sought after hair color is Rich Espresso.  This trend ranges from a warm deep chocolate hue to an almost blue-black looking hair color.  And it’s versatile, looking great on warm and cool tones skin tones and eye colors.  Check out this super chic makeover of model Kaia Gerber from a caramel cappuccino lighter brunette to today’s rich espresso color.  Simply stunning!

But keeping this intense dark chocolate hue can present a problem if not cared for with the proper haircare products.  So, for at-home maintenance use the super color protecting shampoo and conditioner; P2 by Philip Pelusi Fade de Phy Shampoo and Fade de Phy Conditioner.  This duo’s color sealing Willow Bark helps protect from color fadage in between touch ups. 

For additional color protection, we also highly recommend applying the in-shower hair strengthener P2 DailyHaiRx Xtreme Hair Repair after every shampoo.  Color molecules can easily escape whenever hair is exposed to water and heat styling.  P2 Xtreme contains a natural plant protein micro-emulsion to help lock in the color molecules deep inside the hair strand as well as help repair damage.

We also recommend skipping tradition shampooing a couple of times a week with a no-suds cleansing product.  Our P2 Clenz Crème No Sudsing Cleansing Conditioner gently cleanses with Philip’s exclusive Sugar Cane Cleanse micro-emulsion while never leaving hair in a too-clean state to help preserve color.  P2 Clenz Crème is specially formulated with Philip’s new proprietary Pelusi Bio Polymer Complex containing Organic Baobab Seed Protein and Organic Baobab Seed Oil to help improve hair’s condition and texture.

And to help maintain this midnight hue, we recommend our P2 Color Boost Conditioner in Chocolate Wildberry, Philip’s deposit-only color conditioner.  For the deepest deposit and intensity of pigment, apply to freshly shampooed hair, just after a few mists of P2 DailyHaiRx Xtreme Hair Repair, and then top it off with the P2 Fade de Phy Conditioner. 

Don a plastic cap, leave on while showering then rinse thoroughly.  You can also squeeze a small amount of the P2 Chocolate Wildberry into your styling groom and blow-dry it into the hair as well for extra intensity.  But either way, be sure to cleanse your hands immediately following application to prevent hands from retaining the pigment as well.
