<p><img src="/files/images/55d1b1ded9d80_sc_colour_restore_range_03_kmi.jpg" alt="New CR Shades" align="left" /></p>
<p>As a pioneer in the field of technical hair colour, treatment and advice, Scott’s Colour Restore is a salon quality range of temporary colours designed to enhance fading shades or create subtle to vibrant tones in either artificial or natural coloured hair.</p>
<p>The highly intense conditioning base will leave hair soft and shiny, whilst the ammonia and peroxide free formula is kind and gentle on the hair and easy to use at home.The new colours will join existing shades Iced Platinum, Cool Ash, Chocolate and Deep Red.</p>
<p><strong>Gorgeous Grey</strong><br />“Granny hair” has been a hot topic for 2015 as everyone from celebs to catwalk models embrace the grey. <strong>Colour Restore Chrome</strong> is a pure silver toner designed to be used on very light blonde or platinum bases. It can also be used to enhance natural grey or white hair with a silver overtone.</p>
<p><strong>Candy Crush</strong><br />Blush blonde tones are set to be big news this Summer. <strong>Colour Restore Candy</strong> is a brand new couture shade, created exclusively by Scott Cornwall to add multidimensional rose hues and soft apricot tones to light blonde and bleached hair.</p>
<p><strong>Stylish Sombre</strong><br />For a more subtle, natural look add warm caramel tones to blonde or light brown hair with <strong>Colour Restore Caramel</strong>. As a depth shade of the permanent colour 7.3, Caramel can also be used to create the latest ‘Bronde’ hair trend or ‘Sombre’, a more blended, texturised version of the Ombre look.</p>
<p><strong>Cherry Chic</strong><br /><strong>Colour Restore Black Cherry</strong> is a depth shade of the permanent colour 3.0 and will create dark, cherry tones in brunette bases or more vibrant, purple shades in blondes.</p>
<p>The Colour Restore Collection is designed for multiple use and will last for up to eight washes. Use either as a two minute regular conditioner or as a 20 minute leave-in treatment toner for deeper, more vibrant colour results.</p>
