COLOR ME FALL AND WINTER!!!

Let your STYLIST bring you into Fall and Winter
Awesome Blonde"s
The palette:
The inspiration: Supermodel Natasha Poly
“Stripy highlights are on their way out,”  A better strategy, is to break the base and then add a few highlights using very natural placement.  “Marry it all together with a warm, translucent butterscotch glaze,”  “The effect will really pop against the fall fashion palette.”

Beautiful Brunette's !
The inspiration: Supermodel Coco Rocha
The palette:
“A rich, solid brunette with integrity is one of my favorite shade's for fall, and Coco embodies that trend completely,”! So concentrate on creating deep and luscious shades for all of you brunette's  “Think rich, warm sable and dark milk chocolate,”

Hot Red Heads!
The inspiration: Karen Elson in the St. John Fall/Winter ad campaign
The palette:
“Redheads need to be fiery, shiny and rich this fall,”  Avoid dusty-looking, flat color. Elson’s intense crimson is a perfect example—it’s vivid and dimensional!

Easy Like Sunday Morning

Temps are dropping and hair is going to require extra TLC in the very near future. To give your hair  a winter-boost, consider  this easy deep conditioning treatment. It requires very little work on your end and the results are intensely satisfying.

Step 1: Shampoo hair with a SURFACE mild-to-moisturizing formula. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out excess moisture.

Step 2: Choose a SURFACE conditioning formula suitable for your hair type. If locks are fine, you may want to consider SURFACE TRINITY CONDITIONER; if they’re coarse, try SURFACE BABA Hair Masque for Coarse Hair. Begin the application at the ends and work the formula up to the scalp with your fingers. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly.

Step 3: Cover hair with a plastic cap and apply heat for 20 minutes. This allows the hair cuticle to open and the conditioner to penetrate deeply into the strands. Let hair cool for about 5 minutes—the cuticles will close and retain all the moisture.

Step 4: Rinse with warm water until about 80% of the conditioner is gone. Switch to the coolest water you can stand and remove the remainder of the conditioner. This seals the hair shaft, keeping the conditioning ingredients inside where they can do the most good.

Step 5: Apply a leave-in conditioner like SURFACE TRINITY REPAIR TONIC and refrain from shampooing and conditioning for at least a day or two!
