One of the most successful new colour trends in Illumina finally arrives on South African shores. Introducing Opal-Essence, a new shade family within ILLUMINA COLOR. Discover five shades without depth to give a metallic sheen with warm and cool light reflections. Soft, subtle, shimmering… See metallic hair colour in a new light with our latest launch: the new Opal-Essence collection from Illumina Color. The range centres on light-reflecting hues that stand out for their sheer, milky and wearable finish, spanning every shade from metallic rose pink to burnished copper tones. There are five colours in the collection, inspired by high shine looks hot off the catwalk, and they all boast a fresh, soft-focus effect your clients are going to love. Plus, as the hair moves, the multi-tonal shades actually shimmer under the light. If 2019 was the year of heavy metals, trust us: 2020 is going opalescent… Silver Mauve An intense violet hue with a silver sheen. If your client is currently sporting an icy blonde shade, this could be their new season update. Chrome Olive Bored of brassy blonde? Remove warm tones with this metallic olive green. It’s got a touch of silver chrome for a cool, light-reflective finish. Platinum Lily: Jazz up a pale blonde with this beige blush hue. The platinum finish keeps the shade feeling fresh. Titanium Rose The new rose gold. Take their shade into the new season with a touch of titanium. Perfect for adding a blush hue to blondes and brunettes. Copper Peach Great for light brunettes, this warm copper has a touch of metallic peach shine to warm up their shade. Movement and Light Taking the trend for high shine hues out of this world, Opal-Essence shades are specially formulated to glide over the surface of the hair, capturing both warm and cool light reflections. As a result, the shade looks at its most pure, with a milky metallic sheen to finish. ‘I love the flexibility I have when working with the new Opal-Essence shades,’ Andreas Kurkowitz, Wella Professionals Global Color Ambassador. Special Effects But aside from just looking great, these new metallic hair shades are also the perfect multi-taskers. Reduce existing warm tones in hair by smoothing Chrome Olive through lengths or apply Silver Mauve to remove brassy tones, the most neutralising colour in the collection. Create different colour effects depending on your clients’ needs. For an even, opalescent shade, apply the formula to block colour, or for a multi-tonal effect, smooth over hair with pre-lightened sections. Opal-Essence shades can even be mixed with others in the Illumina Color range, opening up new colour opportunities to suit every shade and style. With the new Opal-Essence collection, it’s always time to shine. For more hair tips and inspiration, check out the Wella Professionals Instagram and Wella Facebook.

Why I Love my Dyson Supersonic Professional by Gillian Reynolds Franco International Promo Video Inspires Be Hair Colour Crazy: Infinite Shades in only 12 Minutes

Gillian Reynolds, from Hair by Gill, has been a hairstylist for 37 years. She did her apprenticeship with Isabel Forssman and has spent a good 24 years in Kyalami. She joined Basecut Studio in Dainfern Square in October 2019. Gillian has owned her Dyson Supersonic Professional dryer for 2 years now. Q: What were the biggest differences you noticed when using the Dyson, compared to your previous hairdryer? A: The first thing that appealed to me was the ‘look’ – very stylish indeed. Then I was impressed by the compact size of the unit and when switched on, the low noise level. I can finally hold a conversation with my clients without having to get them to repeat themselves or switch off and stop what I’m doing. The dryer is also very light. The fact that it’s engineered and designed to assist us hairstylists with weight bearing was a huge factor, as I had a tennis elbow operation years ago already. Q: How do you find the speed and effectiveness, the performance of the Dyson? A: The way that the Dyson Supersonic Professional moves water out of the hair shaft makes drying a breeze. There is no fear of burning your clients scalp or hair as the flow of heat and temperature control buttons are at your fingertips. I just love the fact that mechanical damage is minimized. The magnetic attachments are also a bonus – they are cool touch, so no more burnt fingers. Q: What about the hair’s condition after drying and have you seen any differences after using this dryer? A: There is definitely a smoother finish to my blow wave with less effort. Less heat and friction means less fluffiness. Q: Have you found the dryer easy to maintain and clean, and what are your tips in this regard? A: Cleaning the filter is sooo easy. I slip off the guard and wipe it daily. Q: What would your advice be to others who are considering investing in a Dyson Supersonic Professional? A: My reasons for investing in the Dyson are pretty much all of the above. Carpal tunnel and tennis elbow are real issues for a hairstylist. We are bombarded with noise all day so the sound of this dryer is also a huge plus. It is not anywhere as loud or high pitched as any of my previous dryers. I have not regretted purchasing mine at all. Gill blowdries all her clients with the Dyson Supersonic Professional.
