Get The Look: The Beachy Bride, With Redken Artist Jackie Litscher

 

Going to a beach wedding this summer, or always wanted to have your wedding at the beach? Redken Artist Jackie Litscher shows us how to get beachy waves yourself, or what to tell your stylist you want, below!

“My beachy, bridal inspiration for this look was a chic, effortless look that also has a classiness behind it. This look will last all day and night, and you can really make it your own by adding in a hair piece like I did here, twisting your hair into a knot at the back of your head, or leaving all your hair down with the loose waves. The hair piece really adds a fun element to the look – it’s the perfect addition to have an effortless look with a twist, an accessory you wouldn’t normally wear.” – Redken Artist Jackie Litscher.

 

GET THE LOOK:

  • Prep dry hair with a few spritzes of Redken Iron Shape 11 throughout your lengths and ends for heat protection and a touch of hold.
  • Comb out 1” sections of your hair with a fine-tooth comb, then use a 1” curling iron on each section moving away from your face.
  • Allow all of the areas to cool.
  • Using a crimping iron, crimp the under layers at the back of your head for added root volume. If you don’t have a crimping iron, simply backcomb these sections with a fine-toothed comb.
  • Starting on one side of your head, take the face-framing sections of your hair in the front (about ¼ of your total hair’s thickness) and separate into two sections.
  • Twist these sections around each other, then secure in the back with bobby pins. Repeat on the other side of your head.
  • Using your fingers, allow your face-framing baby hairs to peek out on either side to soften the look and add to its effortless vibe.
  • Spray a few spritzes of Redken Control Addict 28 all over the look for hold and humidity protection.
  • If desired, secure a glitzy barrette in the back to add a bit of extra polish.

 

Check out the video of how Redken Artist Jackie Litscher created the look here. Check out more of Redken’s bridal looks here.

Ditch Your Blow Dryer in This Warmer Weather With Redken’s No Blow Dry Cream!

 

NEW! NO BLOW DRY #NBD
Redken introduces a whole new way to achieve styled hair without the heat.

One in two women air-dry their hair. * With this fact in mind, Redken has developed NEW No Blow Dry air dry stylers, the easy solution that allows consumers to achieve a frizz-controlled style without the use of a blow dryer. Designed for people on-the-go who are either short on time or do not have the desire to heat style their hair, No Blow Dry is a great alternative to a heat styler.

The air-drying trend has also been seen across the New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Week runways, where embracing one’s natural hair texture is now more on-trend than ever. Designers have drawn inspiration from each model’s individual esthetics and style, incorporating their own personalities into the overall ‘look.’ This trend has translated from runway to every day, where consumers are letting their hair air dry naturally, then taming frizz with a leave-in cream.

Ideal for consumers who are tight on time, taking a break from heat tools, or want to achieve an effortless it-girl look, No Blow Dry gives a perfected air-dried finish with the help of Redken’s Air-Tex Technology, which contains flexible polymers for control and movement as well as quick dry polymers to speed up drying time. Each cream gives noticeable style results with natural movement and control, a soft touch and a no-product feel.

“It can seem counterintuitive for a stylist to recommend a styling product that involves nothing more than air-dry,” says Rodney Cutler, Redken Brand Ambassador and owner of Cutler/Redken Salons in NYC. “However, for me, products like No Blow Dry perfectly capture today’s consumers: they’re multitaskers on-the-go, and as we’ve seen at Fashion Week, that effortless look is more chic than ever. As a stylist, it’s important for me to give a client a great cut and shape so that their hair can dry naturally, and this product is the perfect complement. It’s unrealistic to think that a customer will blow dry their hair every single day for that fresh-out-of-the-salon look, so recommending an air dry cream is a great alternative to suggest so clients can still achieve amazing style.”

The NEW No Blow Dry collection contains three new creams: Airy Cream for fine hair, Just Right Cream for medium hair and Bossy Cream for coarse hair types. To use any of the No Blow Dry creams, simply work a dime-sized amount evenly into damp hair, then scrunch or twist in and air-dry for best results.

TIPS & TRICKS

  •  For loose beach waves, apply the appropriate No Blow Dry to damp hair. Create one loose
    braid and let hair air-dry. Undo braid, and shake out hair to perfectly waved tendrils.
  •  For tighter beach waves, apply the appropriate No Blow Dry then create two or more braid,
    depending on hair’s thickness. Let hair air-dry, then undo braids and shake out hair.
  •  For a soft, face-framing bend, apply the appropriate No Blow Dry then clip hair behind ears
    and allow it to air-dry. Unclip, then gently tousle.
  • For bouncy waves with root volume, apply the appropriate No Blow Dry then twist hair into a
    high topknot, and allow to air-dry. Undo the topknot and gently brush through.
  •  For tousled waves with sleek roots, apply the appropriate No Blow Dry then twit hair into
    two low buns, and allow to air-dry. Undo the buns and gently brush through.
  • For enhanced natural texture, apply the appropriate No Blow Dry then scrunch hair and
    allow it to air-dry.
  • For defined natural curls, apply the appropriate No Blow Dry then gently twist curls into
    shape using fingers and allow to air-dry.

The suggested retail price for No Blow Dry is ($24) and is only available at Redken authorized salons
nationwide starting in April 2017.

Three Styles, One Product, No Heat Tools Required with Pureology’s NEW Hydrate Air Dry Cream!

Always on the go? Don’t let hair suffer! Pureology’s NEW Hydrate Air Dry Cream is the low-maintenance, effortless solution for heatless styling with a flawless finish. Whether you want to give strands a break from heat tools or a jam-packed schedule doesn’t allow for a full blowout, Hydrate Air Dry Cream’s combination of soft and hard polymers provides enhanced body, a faster drying time, and a no-product feel, along with maximum moisture and frizz control. Here are three fresh hairstyles to get you out the door in no time flat!

 

 

Look 1: Natural Texture

 

 

Step 1: Apply a quarter size amount of Hydrate Air Dry Cream throughout damp hair. Create a center part and divide the hair into two sections. Twist each section away from the face, down through the lengths, and secure ends with an elastic.

 

Step 2: Bring the two twists together and secure with a soft scrunchy.

 

Step 3: Once hair is dry, remove the elastics and scrunchy and shake out the twists. For added hold, finish with a mist of Colour Stylist Strengthening Control Hairspray.

 

 

 

Look 2: Volume and Bounce

 

 

Step 1: Apply a quarter size amount of Hydrate Air Dry Cream throughout damp hair. Using a comb, create a zig-zag parting along the natural part of the hair.

 

Step 2: Create several twists throughout the entire back of the head, twisting each piece back away from the face.

 

Step 3: Once hair is dry, use fingers to rake through the twists and soften the shape. If more definition is desired, use Colour Stylist Density Definer for texture and hold.

 

 

 

Look 3: Beachy Waves

 

Step 1: Apply a quarter size amount of Hydrate Air Dry Cream throughout damp hair. Split hair into four sections, separating it from front to back and side to side, using zig-zag partings.

 

Step 2: Divide each quadrant into two and twist each section right over left away from the face to create a rope. Secure each rope with an elastic.

 

Step 3: Once hair is dry, remove elastics and shade out the ropes. For a bouncier finish, mist with FullFyl Densifying Spray and scrunch waves.

Spring Styling Favorites From Sam Villa, New Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken!

With warmer weather around the corner, it’s time to switch out your favorite styling products for a new spring look. Whether you’re looking to enhance your hair’s own texture, or create some waves and curls in straight hair, Sam Villa, the New Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken has some styling favorites for you!

  • First, prep hair with Redken Outshine 01, a lightweight anti-frizz hair polishing milk for all hair types that delivers mild control, incredible hair shine and sleek smoothness that also repels humidity – making it the perfect first step for the warmer months!
    • SAM à “I love using Redken Outshine 01 to prep hair in humidity. It not only gives the hair shine, but also adds smoothness that lasts all day. It’s one of my favorite stylers in my kit since it’s so versatile and can prep the hair for so many different looks. I simply pump 1-2 pumps into my hands, rub the product between my hands to evenly distribute and use my fingers to comb it through the lengths on damp hair to ease frizz.”

  • Next, protect your hair from heat with Redken Hot Sets 22, which shields strands against hot tools up to 450 degrees! What’s more, it also boosts shine, adds touchable hold and features Redken’s Heat Restyling Technology so you can apply once and restyle as needed.
    • SAM à “I always, always used a heat protectant on the hair when I am heat styling. Not only does it help guard against damage, but Redken’s heat stylers also guard against heat damage and even aid in adding manageability to the hair, so the style you create lasts all day long.”

  • To lock in your style, grab Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Hairspray, an anti-frizz strong hold hair finishing spray gives hair ultimate strength, lasting lift, shape memory and frizz-free shine. Simply spritz throughout your lengths, or spray a little into your palms and run hands through your hair to tame flyaways.
    • SAM à “When it comes to enhancing or creating hair texture, I always think of hairspray as your insurance. You wouldn’t buy a car without car insurance – why would you set up an amazing style and forget to set it? Redken has a wide array of hairsprays in a variety of strengths, but one of my favorites is Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Hairspray as I find it to be incredibly versatile. If you spray it directly onto your hair, you get a strong hold, but if you spritz a little in your palms and use your hands throughout your lengths, you can soften the result while keeping the hold.”
    • SAM’S HOT TIP: “Get those bobby pins to stay! Place bobby pins on a paper towel. Spray with Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Hairspray and allow to dry, giving the pins more tack so they will not slip! When placing a bobby pin into the hair, position the wavy side down to ensure the pin will not slide out.”

Give hair a break from heat styling with the effortless look and no product feel achieved only with Hydrate Air Dry Cream.

 

The Air Dry Technology in new Hydrate Air Dry Cream combines soft and hard polymers to provide flexible, long-lasting styling hold without the heavy product feel of typical cream stylers. Whether early morning wake up calls allow little time for a full blow dry or one’s on-the-go lifestyle goes from the gym to the office to after work cocktails in a single day, Hydrate Air Dry Cream can be applied to hair the night before or directly after shampooing to achieve an effortless yet pulled together look perfect for all occasions.

 

Hit snooze and now running late for work? Apply a quarter-sized amount of Hydrate Air Dry Cream to damp, freshly shampooed hair and twist strands back on each side of the face and secure. Once at the office, shake hair out for a naturally textured look.

 

Need a quick style that only looks like it took hours? Before bed, apply a quarter-sized amount of Hydrate Air Dry Cream to damp, freshly shampooed hair and separate hair into four large sections. Twist each section in a tight rope bun and secure with an elastic. In the morning, remove elastics and tousle hair for easy waves.

 

Love a braid but hate flyaways? Run a dime-sized amount of Hydrate Air Dry Cream through clean, dry hair before styling to keep wispy strands in place without the crunch.

 

Ready to ramp up second day hair? Apply a dime-sized amount of Hydrate Air Dry Cream to only the ends of dry hair to liven up limp or smooth frizzy ends.

 

As with all products in Pureology’s number one Hydrate range, Hydrate Air Dry Cream’s thirst-quenching formula provides superior replenishment, touchable softness and extraordinary colour protection. Soy, oat and wheat proteins strengthen, rebuild and repair, while jojoba, green tea and sage add condition. Hydrate’s signature aromatherapy blend includes ylang ylang, bergamot, patchouli and grapefruit to complete the Pureology experience.

 

Pureology’s NEW Hydrate Air Dry Cream will launch in salons nationwide March 2017. Visit Pureology.com to find a salon, book your next appointment or buy genuine Pureology products from your local salon. Also available at Ulta, Beauty Brands, and Look Fantastic.

Introducing Redken pH-Bonder, the complete solution to promote bond integrity during a professional haircolor or lightening service.

From a Pioneer of pH Science Comes the Power of pH Science

Redken pH-Bonder is the complete solution to promote bond integrity during a professional haircolor or lightening service.

With more than 25,000 professional colorists using bonding products*, it is clear that women and stylists are looking for a gentler color application that won’t damage the hair. Redken, a pioneer of pH science, introduces new pH-Bonder, a complete solution to promote bond integrity during a professional haircolor or lightening service, resulting in softer, smoother hair while preserving the health of hair during each salon visit. Added to lighteners and color to minimize stress on the hair, new pH-Bonder allows women to achieve the lighter, brighter hair they desire while also maintaining the overall health and strength of their hair.

 

The synergistic trio of pH-Bonder is a unique bond protecting system – from the backbar to retail – that is compatible with all hair types and specifically optimized for usage with Redken lighteners and colors. The three components – #1 Bond Protecting Additive, #2 Fiber Restorative Pre-Wash Concentrate, and Post-Service Perfector – are powered by the advanced technology helping to protect bonds and balance hair’s pH. Step #1, the Bond Protecting Additive, helps protect bonds during the technical service by keeping fibers strong from within to reduce breakage. The #2 Fiber Restorative Pre-Wash Concentrate restores the hair fiber and smoothes the hair’s cuticle for improved strength, shine and softness following the color treatment. The final component of pH-Bonder is the Post-Service Perfector, a once-a-week treatment designed for women to maintain hair’s natural pH at home.

 

“Constant lightening and coloring can take its toll on hair, and as a colorist, my top priority is maintaining the overall health of each client’s hair during and after her visit,” says Redken Artist Sean Godard. “pH-Bonder is amazing at protecting and strengthening hair while allowing women to go as light as they desire. The result is less breakage, less damage and smoother, shinier hair every time!”

 

The launch includes a visual and social media campaign with model, trendsetter and Redken muse Soo Joo Park and Baja East fashion designers Scott Studenberg and John Targon. Soo Joo is known for her signature blonde hair and has been a part of the Redken muse collective for two years. “Soo Joo has an effortless cool that makes her a perfect fit for Redken. Her blonde hair also makes her a perfect fit for pH-Bonder,” says Shane Wolf, Worldwide General Manager, Redken 5th Avenue.

 

Baja East is known for their “loose luxury” fashion that blurs gender lines with laidback city-cool designs that anyone can wear. “Baja East has an NYC urban chicness that is so unique. We are so happy they joined this campaign and let us transform them into blondes,” adds Wolf.

 

During your next professional hair color, ask your stylist about pH-Bonder to protect bonds, balance pH, and preserve the fiber integrity of hair. It’s suitable for all hair types and is free of silicone, phthalates, dea and aldehydes. In addition to protecting hair during and after each color service, maintain your color with Redken Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo and Conditioner until your next scheduled salon appointment.

 

The SRP for pH-Bonder Post-Service Perfector is $16.00 and is only available at Redken authorized salons and Ulta nationwide starting September 2016.

Dutch Braid Upstyle by Ruth Roche

Dutch Braid HI RES copy

“This Dutch Braid upstyle is a light airy updo that doesn’t look like your typical braid, it’s great for medium length hair and it’s really easy to do,” says Ruth Roche, Artistic Ambassador for Pureology Serious Colour Care.

· Apply Pureology Colour Stylist Root Lift to the base of damp hair and then in an “S” pattern throughout the rest of the head – working methodically from bottom to top.

· Blow dry with a round brush to create structure and body.

· Separate hair in half in the back, and lace the base at the crown to create a foundation to pin the form to.

· To create the form, start with a long piece of synthetic hair. Pull apart, mix it up and bring together again repeatedly to create a sort of fluffiness and then tuck under to create the shape of the form.

· Secure form at the top back of the head by pinning into the lacing.

· Starting at the front of the head (while standing at the back), section hair into three sections and start braiding an under braid by wrapping sections under the center section, picking up more hair each time a section is crossed.

· Complete braid and secure with an elastic.

· Lightly pull braid apart to build the shape and lift up with fingers and pin slack to build more dimension.

· At the nape, tuck the elastic under and pin.

· Finish with Pureology Colour Stylist Strengthening Control Zero Dulling Hairspray.

Time Saving Tips with Pureology!

With jam packed summer schedules, we are all looking for simple ways to maximize time spent getting ready in the morning. Sandra Joseph, Pureology Artistic Ambassador, shares her expert tricks to minimize hair routine and maintenance so you can get out the door faster and spend more time enjoying the sun.

Start the morning off right! “Pureology Cleaning Conditioners will give a light cleanse plus a conditioning boost that will moisturize, repair and fight frizz all in one step! Apply a few pumps into your palms then massage onto the scalp. Gently massage down the length of the hair and allow it to rest for a few minutes (when the conditioning happens!) before rinsing. Cleaning Condition is also perfect after a morning workout – it’s the only product you need in your gym bag!”

Extend your style! “Pureology Fresh Approach Dry Shampoo is the perfect product to keep your style looking brand-new. Lightly mist Fresh Approach all over your root area, allow to set for a minute then brush or run fingers through hair for an instant boost. Or, mist all over hair to add texture, support and color protection to a second day messy bun or braid.”

Effortless Style in 1-2-3 “Brush hair thoroughly then lightly mist Pureology Colour Stylist Strengthening Control zero dulling hairspray throughout for hold, heat protection, and shine. Create a few simple braids, then press over braids with a flat iron to lock in the texture. Allow the braid to cool then shake out for a “beachy or messy wave look”. Finish with a few bursts of Strengthening Control hairspray for extra hold and shine.”

Got curls? “Put aside the heat styling tools and embrace your natural texture! For perfectly conditioned curls, use Pureology Curl Complete Style + Care Infusion. This do-it-all product will control frizz, give crunch-free curl definition, soften hair, and enhance color and shine on all types of curls. Right out of the shower, scrunch hair with a towel to remove excess moisture, apply a quarter-size amount throughout hair and tousle with your fingers. Allow hair to air dry for that perfect frizz-free finish. Refresh your curls on days 2 and 3 by applying a small amount to sections of dry hair and smooth over with your palms to keep curls frizz-free.”
