Midnight Curls to Icy White: Assort Melbourne’s New Fixation
❄️
Ready for a major hair change? We just pulled off a total “level up” at Assort Melbourne and we’re still obsessed with it. Our client came in with natural dark curls and left with an icy, ashy white look that is giving pure 2026 energy.
We are all about this fearless approach to style. Going from a deep natural base to a crisp, ashy platinum takes time and skill. Seeing the final result paired with those natural curls makes every minute in the chair worth it!
How we did it (The Science Part)
Going from dark to white-blonde isn’t a race but a marathon! We went in with a Triple Process, that’s two rounds of gentle lightening followed by a custom toner to kill any leftover yellowness.
Since we care about your hair’s health as much as the color, we used a K18 Full Treatment. Think of it as a “reset button” for your hair’s strength so those curls stay bouncy and soft, even after the bleach.
The Cut: Shaggy & Layered ✂️
To match the new icy color, we went for a trendy layered cut. Layers are the secret for platinum hair—they add tons of movement and make the color look multidimensional instead of just flat. It’s effortless, cool, and very now.
Don’t Forget Your Purple Juice!
To keep this look from turning “banana yellow” at home, our client grabbed the Somarca Color Shampoo in Ash.
Why you need it: Bleached hair is like a sponge—it picks up minerals and heat damage easily. Using an ash/purple shampoo once a week keeps those cool tones locked in and looking salon-fresh between appointments. It’s a lifesaver!
“Most people would recommend a normal Purple Shampoo or Conditioner. But because of how cool toned this colour turned out, Somarca will keep it even and ashy. Focusing on the bluish undertones to give it that silver metallic vibe” — Assort Melbourne Stylist
