2021 is the year that Wella Professionals will showcase the broad ways in which you can lighten and tone clients' hair. Our portfolio of products is designed to support you at every step.
The popularity of balayage and blonding services continues to grow and inspires this season's movement: from balayage to Illuminage.
With lightening and toning services at the core, the diverse colour palette that Wella Professional offers features an array of light and natural shades. These ensure that you are fully equipped with the inspiration and knowledge needed to achieve the most beautiful looks which graduate from high contrast to soft harmony.
Blondes
"Already in 1987, women are more likely to dye, tint, or streak their hair blonde than any other color" - A. Synnott.
In 2000, a study showed that blonde models were consistently rated younger and healthier looking than brunettes and darker haired people. (Matz & Hinsz)
Today, the trend is still growing.
Balayage
In 2018*, 'blonde' was the most searched term relating to hair colour, followed by 'balayage'.
And in 2021, it's not just about being blonde; people prefer to have highlights that show the natural, or darker hair colour at the root making the result look more natural.
Looks are multi-tonal, revealing highs and lows within the colour result. This can be achieved through multiple highlighting techniques, the most popular one being balayage.
This year's desired blonde is balayage
• It's multi-tonal and natural-looking
• It's easier to maintain
• It allows a client to stay 'true to their roots'
• It can be adapted from subtle lightening to a dramatic blonde transformation
The colour palette of the season focuses on subtle pale shades complimented by natural deeper tones, to allow stylists to explore the opportunities in multi-dimensional colour results, much like Illuminage.
From bright blondes and peachy tones to darker brunettes and fun silvers, the colour palette offers a wide range of colours for the stylists to play with and combine to achieve looks inspired by this season's colour movement.
Balayage has become such a widely used term that it's difficult to clearly define the 'final look'. From exploring the space, Wella Professionals is distinguishing the results by introducing two additional services to complement the classic 'balayage':
Balayage
A graduation from light to dark with a seamless blend. Balayage creates a full-head, lighter feel with a shadowed root. Suited to clients who seek a sun-kissed look or overall lightness.
Illuminage
An elegant and expressive way to detail and accentuate areas within the hair, giving clients soft transitions, luminosity, and multi-tonal reflections with an ultra-natural sheer result from cool blonde to sublime brunette or gentle reds.
Brazilian Illuminage
Perfect for those who seek clarity and brightness. The accentuated contrast of this looks both frames the face and lengths of the hair with light while giving a seamless transition from a more natural root. A shadowed root with threads of brightness melted into enhanced lightness on the ends.
