From hot money pieces and sunkissed gold-tones, to – wait for it – even the return of the Mullet – hair trends are coming in hot and fast this season. Today, Joico superstar pros report on what you’ll see, how to create these looks for your clients, and the products you’ll want to send them home with….
TREND #1: WARM GOLDEN TONES
Our forecaster: Joico Global Brand Ambassador, Larisa Love
“This is a multi-dimensional look, where the hair appears to be kissed by the golden sun. Incorporating babylights, boldlights, lowlights, it’s perfect for that summer girl who wants a natural look but with a pop of brightness and dimension.”
Ask for: A warm, golden, bright, dimensional blonde that easily reflects the light, giving extra shine to the hair.
How to take care of it: K-PAK Color Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner.
TREND #2: THE RETURN OF THE MULLET
Our forecaster: Joico Global Artistic Director, Richard Mannah
“The Modern Mullet is much less extreme than the 80’s version, which was all about super-short layers on top and super-long length around the back. This version – which works for both guys and girls – is a more blended combo of short and long. And it’s not permed anymore!”
Ask for: A prominent difference of lengths between the top and the back.
How to take care of the hair: Defy Damage Shampoo and Conditioner.
TREND #3: BABYLIGHTS/BALAYAGE
Our forecaster: Joico Global Brand Storyteller, Olivia Smalley
“Both babylights and balayage have been big hits for a long time. But we’ll be seeing a continuation of these face-framing highlights with a twist: Now, they have bold-yet-conservative, colorful side pieces that add some serious pop and draw the attention to the face.”
Ask for: A bold money piece. If you’re hesitant, ask your hairdresser to start subtle and get bolder if you like the look.
How to take care of the hair: Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner.
TREND #4: LOW-MAINTENANCE, DIMENSIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Our forecasters: Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon 901, and Joico Guest Artist, Ricardo Santiago
“Every day, we’re seeing how people have scaled back their high-maintenance life styles, so these new looks are softer and more natural than the trends of the past. This blended foiling technique is customizable and can be done on any hair color.” I use this technique on most of my clients, even when I decide to add a highlight. Jewel, a long time client of mine is a perfect example of how I blend colors with this technique. Molly Bernard of Younger, wears the copper formula I created as well.
Ask for: Easy, dimensional color that doesn’t require frequent touch-ups.
How to take care of the hair: K-PAK Color Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner.
