Spring 2013 Hair Trends

Hollie Charlton, one of Zandi K’s lead educators and master stylists shares what’s new for Spring 2013. 

“Everyone is always excited to see what fun new color and style trends start coming around in the spring of a new year and this year will not be a disappointment!

While the return of ombre hair is unavoidable, there will also be a few new twists on this look such as the reverse ombre and the dip dye. We have already seen the reverse ombre on a couple of big names like Jessica Simpson and Beyonce with light and bright on top down to darker shades underneath and Aveda’s Spring 2013 collection features a gorgeous dip dye.

Also, expect to see lot of color mixed in with the haircolor that we traditionally consider “natural”! This Spring we are seeing gorgeous pastels in blue, pink, teals, lavenders and a million shades of gorgeous grey. These fashion colors can be done done ombre style with color just at the tips, 20%- 30% highlighted or in large block sections,  like for instance a in bang or just a block coming from underneath your natural color.  However, on of the biggest trends for color is seeing full heads of pastels! Gorgeous! Check out our Facebook page for a couple of other examples of gorgeous all over pastels. www.facebook.com/zandiksalon. 

The bright summery shades of platinum blond make a comeback as well! You can never go wrong with a perfect, gorgeous blonde. And the Aveda Spring 2013 collection shows off one of the most amazing blonde formulas that I have seen in a long time! So excited to do this color on some guests!

For styles this summer, the key this Spring is soft texture. Looks that don’t look overdone and texture that has a unique twist.  New curl and wave techniques using braids, twists and even gardening stakes (seriously its true!) create a whole new family of texture styles and can be easy to do even the night before. And once again this season we are seeing the braids, braids braids! Regular, fishtail, twist, waterfall and every other variation of the braid is seen in tons of looks this season. And don’t forget to load your drawers with hair accessories. Headbands, flowers, pins and barrettes all will be seen in excess this year.”

Do You Really Know Aveda Hair Color?

As most of you already know Aveda is an industry leader in beauty and provides the most amazing naturally derived products for body, skin and hair. At Zandi K., we use only Aveda products from front to back in our salon, including for all of our hair color services. And while us Aveda devotees have always felt that Aveda hair color is the best in the industry, it recently got even better.

In 2011 Aveda modernized their Full Spectrum Protective Permanent Creme Hair Color to include even more customization, reduced fadage, higher shine and amazing new fashion colors . Their modernized hair color  still provides users with a 96% naturally-derived hair coloring system that Aveda fans are used to while delivering damage-free results with fade-resistant colors in a variety of customizable shades.

New hair color components

Aveda’s new color components allow hair stylists to take color customization to a whole new level. Some of the new components include:

• Pure Pigments – Helps to enhance and deliver amazing fashion colors to any hair color formula.
• Pastel Tones combined with Extra Lifting Creme – Helps professional hair stylists achieve precise, permanent blonding.
• Reformulated Red Series – Makes coppers and reds more vibrant than ever before.
• Natural Series Shades – Helps with delivering more true to tone results combined with fade resistance and improved grey coverage.

These revamped color components are what Zandi K Salon stylists use to create the perfect tones and blends of colors for every guest.

Aveda’s search for natural ingredients

14 years ago Aveda began a search for hair coloring products made of natural ingredients that would provide users with fade-resistant color and optimal results. The result of Aveda’s search for hair color was the introduction of Full Spectrum Hair Color. This revolutionary color line provided stylists with all natural ingredients that revolutionized hair coloring for professional stylists.

The Full Spectrum line contains organic:

• Conditioning oils
• Blends of sunflower
• Castor
• Jojoba
• Coconut
• Babassu oils

Aveda’s hair products allow stylists to create broader spectrum’s of colors, due to their patented green tea extract. In addition the soy protein in Aveda’s formula helps to amplify protection from damage.

Creation of Aveda’s secret to hair color

The Full Spectrum Color was created in Blaine, MN in a botanical laboratory. This 58-acre Certified Wildlife Habitat is home to Aveda’s secret to hair color. Aveda helps the fight to “go green” by producing products from 100% recycled fibers. They founded a national cap collection program which produces 100% recycled color tubing for the Full Spectrum line. Their national cap collection program has helped keep over half a million plastic caps out of landfills to date.

If you have questions or looking for more information on Aveda’s products, feel free to ask your stylist at Zandi K Salon.
