Root Pop Is Now a Thing and We Can’t Be Mad About It!

Yes we all know those dreaded ‘hot roots’ were once the bane of a creative hairdresser’s life! However, making a feature of the roots rather than trying to blend them in or hide them has now gone mainstream and the trend is to elevate the roots with a pop of bold color for a real grunge look. Any color goes but think vibrant blues, reds, and yellows.

To maintain this fun look, recommend a root touch up ever 6-12 weeks and offer your clients home care tips to avoid early fading.

Going bold is no longer just for the fashionista’s. As a creative hairdresser, you can choose all of the colors you and your clients wish but a tip to really set this look off is to opt for a neutral base to make the brighter colors really pop. Try Color Excel by Revlonissimo™ 6.11 and then experiment with different shades from the Nutri Color™ Filters portfolio.

Avant-Garde Hair Accessories

Artistry is back! For so long it’s just been about the haircut, but we’re starting to see a return to styling again. Wet look hairstyles  and sleek up-dos are a big trend right now with the focus on the hairline and bringing the sides of the hair up in line with your clients cheekbones to create a sculpted look. For extra style points, incorporate unconventional materials like metal, fabric, hair clips, or even 3D-printed elements into hairstyles to easily transform styled hair into a wearable work of art.

To achieve these sophisticated and fun looks, we recommend Style Masters™ Creator Defining Gel™ – Revlon Professional to help your creative hairstyles remain perfectly defined and intact for 24 hours.
