Curly Hair Colouring

Colour that Celebrates Every Curl

Melbourne’s resident curl experts, Delilah Hair Studio, are here to serve up next-level curly hair colouring that enhances your texture, boosts dimension, and lasts like a dream. We don’t just colour curls – we celebrate them.

Our signature approach to colouring curly hair is centred around enhancing your hair’s natural bounce and personality. Whether you’re craving a soft, subtle glow or bold pops of colour, we use techniques like balayage, highlight colouring, and curl-specific placement to create colour that moves with you.

A Colouring Technique Made for Curls

Straight hair reflects light in panels – but curls? They bounce it around in every direction. That’s why curly hair colouring calls for an entirely different approach. At Delilah, we lean into your curl pattern, using hand painting techniques and curl-aware sectioning to deliver colour that looks alive from every angle.

We specialise in:

Balayage colouring for that soft, lived-in look
Seamlessly blended highlight colouring that defines and lifts your curls
Natural tones and bold statements – always customised for you

Our Curl-First Colour Formula

We’ve developed a game-changing formula for colouring curly hair. It’s all about nourishing your curls while infusing them with rich, vibrant colour. We’ve ditched the sulphates, banned the silicones, and shown the door to any harsh chemicals that could flatten your fabulous tizz.
Instead, our curl-friendly colour range includes:

Low-to-no ammonia formulations
PPD-free products
Ultra-hydrating ingredients that maintain your curl pattern and shine

From soft caramels and honey blondes to deep chocolates, rich coppers and bold brights – your curls are in very good hands.

Low-Maintenance Colour That Lasts

Whether it’s balayage colouring or hair painting highlights, we’re big fans of colour that looks amazing well beyond the salon chair. Our techniques create a natural grow-out that requires minimal upkeep, so you can go longer between appointments without sacrificing the look.

Not a fan of regrowth lines? Neither are we. Our lived-in colour approach ensures a seamless blend from root to tip, giving your curls an effortless radiance that stays fresh for months.

Yes, We Do Foil Colouring (But Only When It’s Right)

While our go-to technique is hand painting and balayage, we’ll occasionally use foil colouring for precision placement or when a little extra brightness is needed. But foils are used selectively and strategically – not as a one-size-fits-all solution. When we do reach for the foil, it’s to complement your curl structure and deliver maximum dimension.

Colour Care – Because Curls Deserve Love

Colouring curls doesn’t have to mean sacrificing their bounce or health. At Delilah, we make sure every strand gets the nourishment it needs. To protect your curls during and after the colouring process, we recommend:

Blondpro, a reparative treatment (similar to Olaplex) that supports the integrity of your curls during lightening
Our iconic Delilah Curl Creams, handmade in-house and packed with essential oils and natural conditioners to keep your curls hydrated, defined and oh-so-soft

These essentials keep your colour vibrant and your curls thriving long after your appointment.
