Color Fresh Create With Wella Profressionals

Summer is in full effect over here in SoCal, and we're feeling all kinds of vibrant this season! So was our stylist, Kristina, as she transformed our look to match our colorful souls with Wella Professionals' Color Fresh Create. 

This semi-permanent color collection has 12 gorgeous shades plus a clear shade. The colors' ability to mix and blend creates the perfect opportunity to come up with some epic color combinations. Case in point, our new 'do with beautifully vibrant colors blending into each other. Color Fresh Create produces amazing tones whether they're bold or pastel.

When it came time to freshen up our hair and choose which colors to use, we knew that we wanted all kinds of tones incorporated into our look. It's only fitting as we live in a beautiful place with colorful people and a city life that especially shines during summer. We knew our stylist Kristina would create the perfect summer shades and let her take the reins from there. Giving a stylist creative control definitely requires a solid stylist-client relationship, and it's so important to have when it comes to transforming ones look. Having such a relationship ensures that you can communicate with ease what you want and what you don't want. Trusting your stylist to create a look that suits you will never have you wondering whether or not you'll leave the salon happy or unsatisfied. So it was no surprise that when saw our new colors all we could think was, PERFECTION! Kristina managed to incorporate so many colors and create two beautiful looks. One that's bright with the loveliest combinations of warm and cool hues, just like our summer skies right before sunset. And another that's darker with pops of color, the perfect tones to express the liveliness of our city's night life.

Speaking of tones, to make things even better, it has true-to-tone fading and can last up to 20 washes!  We've had our fair share of bad color fades, so we're so glad we can wash our hair knowing it'll still come out looking flawless!

To care for our freshly colored locks, we use Wella’s FUSIONPLEX Intense Repair Shampoo
and Conditioner to protect the color and keep our hair strong from the inside out.

FUSIONPLEX With Wella Professionals

It's no secret that we love to change up our hair color. And while fun colored hair is well, fun, it can take a toll on the integrity of our hair. Keeping a healthy set of locks is something every gal would love, but much too often we see ads and commercials from brands that claim to be of professional quality. The saying, "leave it to the professionals" is certainly true here! Enter Wella Professionals' FUSIONPLEX, intense repair and protection care line that is everything your noggin' could ever dream of! The line targets hair both inside, at the hair’s cortex to refill and repair worn fibers, and outside by protecting and sealing strands. It’s the perfect solve for treating hair that may be suffering from chemical damage (lightening, dying hair), environmental damage (UV/weather influencer) and heat styling.

We started off with the  FUSIONPLEX Intense Repair Shampoo & Intense Repair Conditioner, these babies are fortified with amino acids that leave our hair feeling smooth. This is especially helpful for us since we use a lot of hot tools and need protection from all of the heat damage. 

To seal the deal and really make sure our hair is getting all the protection it needs, we use the  FUSIONPLEX Intense Repair Mask. This literally takes our hair from dry and crunchy to "OMG this is what healthy hair feels like??"

So remember folks, leave it to the professionals! And be sure to check out all the other amazing Wella Professionals products right here!

Hair Care 411 With Rochelle

Who doesn't love a good hair makeover? We got the lovely chance to reach out to all of you and host a hair makeover giveaway! The winner won the opportunity to get a new 'do by our hairstylist gal pal, Rochelle from Bluxom Salon!

Going through any type of hair transformation is always fun, but at the end of the day I'm sure all of us would love to know how we can keep our hair looking its best! Lucky for you, we got the 411 on all things hair care, here are some frequently asked questions that Rochelle gets from her clients.

Q: I have dark hair, can I dye it to a brighter color like purple?

A: Yes and no. No if you wanted to dye it in one session. Yes, you can ultimately dye your hair purple, but you would first need to go through a few bleaching sessions in order to get the color to show.

Q: How long would the color last?

A: A few weeks depending on how often you wash your hair.

Q: What can I do to make it last longer?

A: Use the right product such as color safe shampoo & conditioner. Shampoo less and use dry shampoo instead in between washes. Washing your hair with cold water will also help the pigment from washing away too fast.

Q: How can I keep my hair healthy?

A: Weekly masks and deep conditioning treatments are key. As well as regularly scheduled haircuts, 6-8 weeks is a typically a good time frame.

Q: Will pastel colors last as long?

A: Unfortunately no, there is less pigment in pastel colors because they're essentially diluted. You'll often find that pastel colors will wash out much faster than highly pigmented ones.
