August 7 is National Raspberries N’ Cream Day, because in
the peak of summer, berries are lush and ripe. Raspberries and cream aren’t
just for dessert anymore. Here’s some gorgeous ways to indulge in raspberries
and cream year-round, with these raspberry-inspired looks. For those who love
vibrant color, raspberry hair is one of the most versatile, fun ways to express
your style and still stay office-appropriate. There’s a wide range of colors in
the raspberry hair family, ranging from more vibrant, magenta-based “true
raspberry” colors into deeper purple blackberry-raspberry shades and red-based “ripe
raspberry” hues.
Raspberries, Raspberries, Everywhere!
First, take a moment to explore the different kinds of raspberry hair looks (might we suggest the Vagaro Pinterest boards?) This will help you prepare for your consultation by having visual examples to bring your colorist to make sure your raspberry look is everything you envision. You can go for a full-head raspberry look, a more subtle balayage ombre raspberry, pastel raspberry, a rooted look, deeper purple, or a vibrant, fantasy-raspberry. Here are a few of our favorite raspberries!
