Matrix, part of L’Oreal’s Professional Products Division, has introduced four looks that have me yearning for my long hair and a visit to my hairdresser.

Seasonal changes is the perfect time to switch up your hairstyle too. And what better way than updating your colour?

Whether you are in the market for a more extreme look, or need a more natural update, the hottest colour melting trends have you covered.

For those adventurous of heart and hair, try the Opal Melt or the Mermaid Melt. (The Opal has stolen my heart).

If you’re looking for a change but your lifestyle doesn’t necessarily allow for rainbow locks, try the Mocha Melt, or my other favourite, the Rose Gold Melt.

Most important – no matter which of these trends you opt for – always take some visual references to your stylist.

Which colour melt trend are you keen to try?
