Milk tea ash brown paired with big curls has been a super trendy combo over the past two years—soft, brightening, and naturally exuding an effortless, high-end vibe. That said, this combo does place certain demands on hair condition and upkeep. Here's a rundown of the key points: 1. Colour: Milk Tea Ash Brown · Tone: Somewhere between milk tea and ash brown, with a hint of grey—neither reddish nor yellowish, with a strong matte finish. · Suitable skin tones: Works for both fair and warm undertones, especially flattering on cool or neutral skin tones, with a noticeable brightening effect. · Note: Bleaching is required to achieve the grey tone, usually 1-2 sessions. If your base colour is dark, the grey tone fades easily. 2. Big Curl Styling · Curl size: Big waves, French effortless curls, and cloud perms all work. Larger curls look more elegant, while curls that are too small can be ageing. · Length: Medium-length to long hair works best—hair that's too short can't hold the arc of big curls. · Layers: A layered cut is recommended so the curls come out airy and full of movement, rather than stiff and clumpy. 3. Combined Effect · The matte finish of milk tea ash brown + the soft curves of big curls = effortless, gentle, with a touch of Eurasian flair. · The grey tone balances out the sweetness of the milk tea colour, while the big curls add femininity—the overall look is neither too sweet nor too cold. 4. Maintenance Tips · Washing: Use colour-protecting shampoo and avoid water that's too hot, as the grey tone fades quickly. · Styling: Big curls need a blow dryer + round brush or curling wand for support, or they'll easily fall flat. Use mousse or curl-defining products to keep the curls in place. · Colour touch-ups: Ash brown tends to turn yellowish as it fades, so it's recommended to touch up the colour or get a colour treatment every 1-2 months. 5. Who It Suits · Best for those with medium to thick hair—big curls on thin hair can easily look flat. · Coarse, thick hair holds curls longer, while fine, soft hair needs volumizing treatment before perming. @kkara.lll @hashtag.official.hk
