Spring is in the air and pretty soon the cold weather will be behind us!
And it’s the perfect time to try something new. Right now, color trends are high fashion and fun… reds are really red, brunettes are dark and sultry, blonds are very pale and most important there is a super-shiny finish that looks like lacquer. At David Ryan Salon, we recommend lunchtime color or a shine bomb; this gives the ultimate in high shine finish and can even extend and brighten your color, without the commitment.
Hot spring looks on the runways were beautiful, with full soft waves reminiscent of 30’s and 40’s, with glamorous finger waved styles, tousled natural waves and texture, texture and more texture!
We also saw braids—and we love them. An easy way to make this look more adult is to do a soft side swept braid with soft pieces to frame the face. Braids are also a really easy way to get those loose beach-like waves; braid hair while it’s damp and use a texturizing spray like the one in the amazing Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger line. When hair is dry, take the braid out and run a bit of a light pomade thru to add more texture. Voila! You have sexy beach waves.
The other hot look we saw was high- shine hair, slicked back into ponytail and knots. This is super easy: Just wet hair down with water and comb for a really smooth look–but if you want a more unfinished look, just rake thru with your fingers. Create a low ponytail and wrap it up with a hair elastic. NO SCRUNCHIES!! To give it a finished look, smooth the hair in the ponytail with a flat iron or curl it with a large barrel curling iron—and don’t forget the high gloss spray or pomade to really make it shine.
You can achieve these fashionable styles with the right products. We’re a Paul Mitchell focus salon so we work exclusively with that company’s products. Here’s some we just LOVE: Wild Ginger Styling Oil makes blowouts super smooth and ultra shiny and when you add the Wild Ginger Shine Spray you achieve the ultimate high fashion gloss.
