Color Trends for the Remaing Year of 2015

So lets talk about all the newest trends in haircolor for autumn 2015 . . .  the names the trends are almost funny to me there are so many....

MAKE SURE YOU GET THEM STRAIGHT OR YOU WILL BE WALKING OUT WITH THE COLORING STYLE YOU DID NOT WANT.

First of all in order to get some of these crazy colors and unique trends....FIRST your hair needs to be whats called :
DOUBLE PROCESSED

Which is what our OIL BLEACH KIT is for..............

NOTHING I MEAN NOTHING bleaches hair as blonde as our oil bleach kit.............and as healthy as our Oil Bleach Kit.
I would put our little old OIL BLEACH KIT up against any product made on planet earth....to achieve platinum hair. 

WHY..................?????????????????

Because our Oil Bleach Kits Base is a Cream Base with a unique oil added to it, to be sure that oil and moisture is added to every single step in order to protect your hair strands from the strength of hair bleach. But the best part is the bleach still lightens enough so you can achieve platinum light hair....with moisture-moisture-moisture added to your strands along the entire path.Cream lightener is used a unique Oil combination is then added to each stage so the moisture content of this lightener is beyond any product on market !

                         1 Oil Bleach Kit has 2 APPLICATIONS

Killerstrands Oil Bleach Kit

So be sure to use our Oil bleach Kit first. Get the lightest hair possible and the healthiest lightest hair on planet earth.....so you can use every color we have in BOOST & BURST....if I was healthy and younger I would set on a mission of trying every single color.....

Just sounds like so much fun to me.......


try some of these new styles

                                                                      

Sombre

Gallagher describes sombre as "soft ombre and more diffused and sun-kissed." It's more of a grown-up, more discreet alternative to dramatic ombre. The color blends in with your natural hair color and is way easier to maintain.

Bronde

And joining the summer of quirky hair color trend names: Bronde. Bronde is "a great step for brunettes who want to add a little 'oomph' to their color." It's the perfect marriage of blonde and brown and will give you a gorgeous "beachy, sun-kissed blonde." See more celebs like Jennifer Lopez that are rocking the blonde trend...

                                                                                 

Babylights

Gone are the days of thick, striped highlights. Babylights are all the rage and are "tiny highlights meant to replicate the sun," says Gallagher. They require "a very skilled colorist to meticulously apply the lightener without bleeding onto other areas." Jessica Alba's babylights add delicate accents to her natural color, creating healthier-looking locks. They call them baby lights, I've called these Ribbons of Light, because Sassoon has a "exclusive" technique called Slices and Ribbons, techniques no one else had.... that give the look as if the sun lightened the hair.

 SILVER LIME I SCREAM

This is 
CORAL SUNRISE  BOOST & BURST 
a Beauty

 Dark Metal
can be achieved by using Silver Bullet
BOOST & BURST





  pastel Lime....you can see it in BOOST & BURST called 
LIME I SCREAM





So lets take Colombre

Colombre (hello, Rainbow Brite!) is the latest hair trend to go viral for summer. Think "rainbow-colored end lights à la mermaid hair trend," says Gallagher. It's just like regular ombre, only you add color in place of going lighter at the ends. 

Whether you go pastel or go all out with every color imaginable, it's a gorgeous statement look for summer.

Wella Introduces the Very First Demi-Permanent Pastel Hair Color - Instamatics Are Here and are Gorgeous

To keep up on what is coming up and what is new and cool, I watch the European markets for what is coming down the pipeline as far hair and hair color. I have been creating pastels from hair color my entire career but to finally have the actual product here, I am just thrilled to no end. I know this won't be a lot of yours "thing" .....BUT, think of this.. . . .

Do you have some Blonde pieces, chunks, ribbons, slices with Ash brown hair or any of the many techniques going on now-a-days? Consider applying on top of the blonde pieces or having your Colorist apply.......... some mint green over the blonde and by the next time you go in for a Re-touch the mint green will be washed out. USE the pastels as an accessory which is what they are designed for. For Fun, to be used as an accessory to your clothes and outfit for a few weeks.. I have Copper hair and I plan on applying some of the pink to some of my blonde slices and I'm old ! I think it will be cool for a few weeks and I don't really care what anyone thinks.

In conjunction the FREELIGHTS line has come out, which is merely a white bleach to be used for Balayage .... a technique I don't find much use for but a lot of Colorists do. I was highly trained in foils and can do anything in foils they can do Freehand but we carry the Balayage Painting paddle so if that is your cup of tea you are welcome to the products you need to perform it with. The reason I like foils? I was trained on them and they do generate warmth and natural warmth like that helps the color develop better than when just hanging out in the air. (My personal sentiments are going to cause a giant hub-bub in the Comments section, but please just relax everyone!)  I get so much flak for my feelings in this area, I actually took a Post down I was so tired of responding to -- from the people that feel the opposite. 

When it comes down to it....it really is:.."different strokes for different folks" its not a competition, which is why I have ALWAYS sold Balayage paddles - 2 of them even - you can't find these anywhere else, so relax !

But Anyway lets look at what Wella is calling Color Touch INSTAMATICS

Create natural-looking highlights with Wella's new foil-free Blondor Freelights.

Use it for Ombre or Balayage hair

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see by these photos 3 colors have been weaved through the blonde hair, see how beautiful it looks?

Pink

Mauve + Amethyst

Now here are the 6 colors:

 

Ocean Storm

Muted Mauve

Pink Dream

 
Smokey Amethyst

Jaded Mint

Clear Dust

 These are Color Touch Colors so you would be using 6 & 13 Volume Developer and processing for 35-45 minutes. They quote 25 minutes as they do with all Color Touch colors but I have always found processing 40-50 minutes makes the color last longer

Here are the 2 balayage spatula's 

 

 you apply the spatula underneath the hair, then use the tint brush and paint on lightener in little strips that look like this:

 that work something like above, again...my choice is foils but I am going to try this for fun next time the chance arises itself !

We have a kit that has a complete photo tutorial that shows you how to do this with foils. I call it the Ribbons of light Kit or the Victoria's Secret model hair !!!!  ha ha

Once you lighten the little strips to blond, you then can apply any of the new and very cool Instamatics by Wella 's Color Touch line.

 The hair above has slices of  blonde first then Pink Dream and Mauve applied to them, see how subtle it can be, I just think it is beautiful, how about you?
