have a hair renaissance.

Are your blonde locks lacking lustre? If so, help is at hand. Hair colour experts are looking towards skin-illuminating, spirit-raising pinky-golden tints. 'Warm, fleshy tones signify hope for summer,' says colour psychologist Angela Wright (colour-affects.co.uk), referencing Botticelli's iconic Birth of Venus (below), a painting that depicts rebirth in honeyed hues. The shift is subtle but significant - like your hair but better - and can be achieved at home with Clairol Nice 'N Easy Permanent Colour Crème in Natural Light Champagne and Natural Palest Blonde, which lift fair hair, cover greys and last up to eight weeks. €7.69, available nationwide.
