rich color and curls for winter
Blonde hair relinquishes its crown as color deepens, with
brown-blacks and icy brunettes being all the rage. You’ll see shiny, rich and luxurious color this
winter. And you can maintain that
beautiful color with Redken Shades EQ and Colorfusion.
Ultra long tresses are now forced to share the spotlight
with short cuts – you see it on the runway and in the shopping mall! Much
shorter hair – styles that expose a bit of the neck – is the latest look.
You’ll also notice that women are steering away from
stick-straight hair. Full hair and
loose, glamour curls are shaping up to be this winter’s hair styles. Big Sexy Hair’s Root Pump or Root Pump Plus is
perfect for pumping up fine hair.
There is a definite shift away from the frayed looks of past
years toward those that are rather clean-cut for men this winter. Think of a
combination of 40’s, 60’s and 80’s, when styles were cut according to the needs
of each individual and offered a host of styling options.
For younger men, longer, controlled styles are back, rather than
loose and sloppy looks. The classic crop is also at the forefront – strong
short bangs really set this cut off and give it its own signature look. Redken for Men offers products to maintain
your hair's health and keep your style looking good all day.
How do I keep my curls looking great?
Professional shampoos and conditioners developed especially for curly hair are essential, such as Fresh Curls by Redken, or Curls Rock by Tigi. It is also essential to follow your stylist's recommendations. Be gentle when towel drying, blotting is best. Always use a wide-toothed comb to detangle. Visit your stylist for a haircut every 4-6 weeks to keep your curl manageable and in great shape.
How do I keep my hair color from fading?
Be sure to cover hair while tanning in the sun or tanning bed. Be careful of exposure to chemically treated water such as that in a swimming pool. Cooler water temperature is recommended for red colors. Color-treated hair requires special care and nourishment. Try the Color Extend line by Redken to protect your color.
My hair is limp and has absolutely NO body... help!
For a great way to add volume to the finest and limpest of hair, you might consider highlights. Highlights can be very subtle or as bold as you want to get! Follow your stylist's recommendations for hair products that are especially designed for fine or limp hair. Redken's Body Full line of products is excellent. Blow drying your hair will create fullness. When blow drying, lift from the roots up to the ends. This will lift the hair off the scalp, which creates a fuller look.
My hair is always dull - how do I get shine?
Anything that makes your hair lie smooth and flat (curling iron, flat iron, cold water rinse) will boost shine. Try a color gloss. Rinse well when using conditioners. Be very careful of leave-in conditioners. Remember hair is like a sponge and can only hold so much - after that it looks grimy and DULL.
