Who’s going to aim for this result with every client this week? Here’s to a great creative week!

One of blonde’s biggest celeb fans has made a surprising change in the new year by colouring her hair a gorgeous shade of magenta. This was achieved by Nine Zero One salon in West Hollywood – showing that the power of bright pastels is enduring into 2019!

Here’s Keune’s “must have” list for colourists working with blondes – the products you’ll instantly love and won’t be able to live without! Keune Care Silver Savior A phenomenal pair of products, Keune Care Silver Savior range deals with bleached or lightened hair like no other. The powerful conditioning agents of Keune Care leave the hair silky and soft instead of crunchy or dry as is so often the case with silver based shampoos. And, of course, it offers three levels of silver - maintenance, neutralisation or a violet / silver tone, depending on how much product you use and how long it’s applied for. Keune Blonde Neutralising Spray Available for professional use only in a 300ml sprayer, this ultra violet spray is an invaluable tool when toning hair because it is a more cost effective way of dealing with unwanted warm tones before toner is applied. It can also be used to eliminate unwanted warm tones in already toned hair or grey hair. As a direct dye, it should always be supplemented with our Keune Silver Savior Shampoo or Silver Savior Conditioner. Keune Bond Fusion This re- bonding product is one of the best in the industry. Laboratory tests prove it reduces breakage by 43% more than key competitors and leaves the hair twice as strong too. Bond Fusion can be used in bleaches, tints and semi colors as well as a stand alone treatment. There is the traditional Phase 3 for take home treatments for your clients and Bond Fusion is priced well enough so clients will always say Yes to the extra conditioning benefits of a bond multiplier. No reason the additive should cost more than what’s in the bowl! Keune Color Boosters These boosters are available in both Red Boosters and Cool Boosters. They come in packs of 10 x 3ml ampoules. Use one ampoule per half tube of color to enhance either your red shades or Ash tones. Keune Cool Boosters are also recommended for Keune’s High lift products and bleaches should you need a shot of cool to go that extra bit further. Keune Color Tools Keune offer a selection of colouring tools for creative colouring. Specialist Foam Foils and Transparent Foils which are ultra light weight for techniques such as Ecaille, Balayage etc and the specialised brushes for these hand painted techniques. All Hair Solutions also offer the education you may need to work with all our support products to achieve maximum shine, condition and results helping you love color even more!

A fun look at the evolution of style over a century – and as a bonus, there’s hair too!

Post-holiday treatments for lasting colour and shine. Many things should be left behind in 2018 – lustrous hair is not one of them. Yet, hours of relaxation spent in the ocean, the pool, and in the sun likely has left your clients’ hair dry, dehydrated, and their colour a little dull. And, honestly, could you confidently face the new year with a new-year-new-me attitude when your hair is not the same soft, sleek, vibrant mane you left the salon with in December? No. Your clients shouldn’t either. Understand the effects of high-intensity light and UV rays combined with wind, salt and chlorinated water on hair Photobleaching happens when the UVA and UVB radiation breaks down the natural hair pigment. In turn this decreases the amount of artificial colour in the hair as well. Another side effect of UV radiation are free radicals which damages the hair protein structure and leads to the weakening of the cuticles Chlorine and salt have a direct effect on our hair's lipid content, and they erode the hair cell cement. This makes the hair susceptible to mechanical damage and weakens the hair bonds. Eventually this disrupts the structure of the hair and leads to further damage and dehydration. So, stylists, it is your duty to come to the rescue and offer your clients in-salon treatments, services and home-care products that will repair and add moisture to their hair and revive their colour. And, it’s our duty to offer you the post-holiday care tips we live by: Intensive hair transformation in-salon treatments Glossing services that will enhance the colour without causing any long-term side effects on the already weakened hair Moisturising and repairing home care products to restore the hairs lustre as well as products designed to restore porosity Styling aids to protect the hair from the effects of any additional heat Intensive in-salon treatment Intensive treatments penetrate the hair shaft to restore the natural moisture balance and to improve the hairs elasticity and manageability. Also, the internal structure of the hair can be restored which will visibly improve the resilience, combability and make the hair easier to manage. We recommend: The System Professional Intense treatment. This is a treatment that fuses two product benefits into one personalised experience, and at the same time forms, part of the clients own EnergyCode™. The treatment is finished with a protecting and sealing step to ensure you enjoy the transformative results for longer. Colour Glossing A colour glossing service is a quick in-salon service that few clients are aware of and certainly one of the services that will restore shine and vibrancy to their hair. Your clients can choose between a clear glossing service - which restores shine to the hair – or a colour glossing which is ideal refreshing the colour in the hair. We recommend: Using Wella Professionals Illumina in your glossing service for superior hair protection and light reflection. Take Home Hair Care After a long summer holiday, clients need to include regular treatments into their home hair care regime. Discussing the benefits of adding a mask or specialist serum to their regime is essential if we want to sustain the effect of an in-salon treatment We recommend: System Professional salons can re-evaluate clients’ hair care needs using the process of an EnergyCode™ mapping and add products from the Extra Line like Elastic Force, Liquid Hair and even Alpha Energy serum to compliment the cleanser, conditioning cream, and mask Wella Professionals Oil Reflections or Fusion masks or even the Kadus Brown or Silver Mask will allow your clients to prolong their in-salon post-holiday service. Pro Tip: Mariska Treurnicht, Field Education Manager for Modern Hair & Beauty, advises that clients use less heat and opt for no-heat or low-heat styles. Braids are easy to style at home, use no heat, and look pretty for every occasion.
