Jason Backe Interview and Hair Tips on Elle.com, November 2012

Just in time for holiday season, Jed Root colorist Jason Backe talk to Elle on how to get the perfect shade of red. 

ELLE: What are some important things to keep in mind when going red for winter?

Jason Backe: Consider your skin tone. If you are fair, light-eyed, and burn easily in the sun, you want to have a more copper red—think Marcia Cross. If you tan easily or have a dark or olive complexion, stay away from copper and go for true red or even red-violet. Red shades tend to fade, so make sure your home maintenance helps resist fading. I love the L'Oréal Professionnel INOA Color Care Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner. It's loaded with vitamins and has argan oil for amazing shine—and the lather is insane!
