From Brown to Tangerine: An Assort Melbourne Transformation

4/07/2026

Is your hair feeling a little “last season”? We just took a client in Melbourne from a faded, stubborn reddish-brown to a high-voltage Electric Orange that is strictly for the bold. As we lean into the “Vibrant Expressionism” trend of 2026, this look proves that warmth is officially back and brighter than ever.

Achieving the “Glass Orange” Glow 🍊

Transforming previously coloured hair (especially those pesky red undertones!) requires a technical touch. To get this level of vibrancy and evenness, we performed a Double Process Creative Color. Which is 1 round of bleach, a toner and foils for the highlights.

The Lift: We carefully stripped the old pigment to create a clean canvas for the new hue.
The Dimension: We wove in Pale Blonde Highlights to add movement and prevent the orange from looking “flat.”
The Treatment: To keep the hair looking like glass, we used the Evo Drop Concentrated Treatment. This is our secret weapon for instant shine and structural repair after a double process.

Why This Works for 2026

2026 is all about personalized pigments. This vibrant orange isn’t just a color; it’s a mood. It brings a “glam” energy that aligns perfectly with the Assort aesthetic which is sophisticated yet edgy.

Stylist Tip: To maintain this intensity at home, avoid sulfates and ask your stylist about a custom-pigmented conditioner to keep that orange popping between appointments!
