It’s a new and unexpected trend – but particularly in Afro hair salons, orange decor has become hugely popular. After a quick trip round the fabulous showroom at Marica Salon Specialists in Johannesburg, we were convinced that it’s bright, loud and... awesome. We adore this trend, and there are many salons opening whose colour scheme includes this bright, fun, cheerful colour. So – if you’re undecided about what to do in your next revamp, why not look into the orange spectrum?

The recent Indola Street Style seminars wowed the industry with the launch of an incredible trends collection – relevant, inspirational, and adaptable for use in the salon. Here are a few top tips from the events, to inspire you to create gorgeous, streetwise glamour for your clients. Dark Sensuality – head-turning, dramatic and glamorous. Cutting Tip: Create a one-length cut that puts all the weight and movement in the ends. Soften the finish slightly by creating a disconnection halfway through the front to frame the face when worn loose or up. Colours used: Colour 1 – PCC 10.0 + 12% / 40 Vol Cream Developer Colour 2 – Comb on colour PCC 1000.27 + 12% / 40 Vol Cream Developer Finish with Innova Thermal Protector and Innova Glamorous Oil Gloss Activ80s – sport-inspired fashion. Cutting Tip: Create graphic lines and a strong shape in this bob with an undercut section (up to the occipital bone) that reduces the weight, bringing in more movement and helping the cut sit closer to the head, avoiding the dreaded bowl effect. And it works with wavy or curly hair too. Colours used: Colour 1 – Comb on hair PCC 5.77x + 3.0 (1:1) + 2% / 7 Vol Cream Developer Colour 2 – Global roots PCC 8.77x + PCC 6.77x (1:1) + 2% / 7 Vol Cream Developer Global mid lengths and ends PCC 8.77x + PCC 6.77x (1:1) + 6% / 20 Vol Cream Developer Finish with Innova Smoothening Serum and Innova Divine Blond Illuminator Spray Raw Bohemia – flowing femininity Cutting Tip: Create a long Boho style with loads of movement. Leave the top long, but cut internal layers to release the weight. Cutting the baseline freehand helps finish a look that’s really modern, soft, naturally pretty and free flowing and works with any hair type. Colours used: Colour 1 – Invisilights in foil New Blonde Expert Bleach and/or Rapid Blond Bleach + 2% / 7 Vol Cream Developer Colour 2 – Balayage BE 1000.27 + 12% / 40 Vol Cream Developer Colour 3 – New Blonde Expert Bleach and/or Rapid Blond Bleach + 6% / 20 Vol Cream Developer Finish with Innova Strong Spray Modern Muse – celebrating curls with gorgeous, romantic movement Cutting Tip: Any shape with corners (squares or triangles) can be a problem for curly hair. Create a rounded form for the curls to sit on, with some shaping around the fringe. Then, using a drier, blow out the curls, using your fingers to stretch the lengths. Colours used: Colour 1 – PCC 8.43 + 0.33 (60g + 5g) + 9% / 30 Vol Cream Developer Colour 2 – PCC 7.44 + 0.66 (60g + 5g) + 6% / 20 Vol Cream Developer Colour 3 – PCC 6.44 + 2% / 7 Vol Cream Developer Finish with Innova Thermal Protector and Innova Strong Mousse New Gender: Strong, minimalist and androgynous Cutting Tip: Create a strong but flattering outline to this crop by keeping a round shape at the temples and over the ears, but use the tips of scissors to create a shattered outline, especially at the fringe. That way, you can choose how to style it on or off the face, adding more or less texture. Colours used: Colour 1 – Roots and global colour PCC 3.0 + 2% / 7 Vol Cream Developer Colour 2 – Panel area PCC 5.3 + 6% / 20 Vol Cream Developer Finish with Innova Wonder Blow Dry and Innova Strong Spray
