Spring blonde, techniques and shades to experiment

Biondo in primavera, #groundbreaking. Get ready to say goodbye to flat, even shades. In fact, there will be many facets of tones – with a guaranteed glow effect – that will characterize a color handmade, suitable for the phototype and the colors of the wearer. Low maintenance hairstyles and dyes dominated the whole of early 2021, so an extra bright and three-dimensional color change will be all that hair-experiment fans will need. The protagonist will be a blonde that is the right compromise between warm shades and an icy finish, customized in the salon thanks to new techniques developed for a new restart.

“The trend color for the summer will still be blond, declined in shades that are no longer extremely cold, but bright and warm – explains Alessandro Fiorin, technical field educator of Fanola – So space for sand, irises, lilacs, extremely natural blondes, even if with reflections that have little of the natural. Absolutely recognizable blondes, as if they had a signature of exclusivity ». Yes also to the ombré effects that emphasize the look thanks to a play of chiaroscuro. For Alberto Di Domenico, artistic director and educational manager of Joico Italia, «there is a predominance of depth on the base, almost a regrowth effect, associated with the maximum expansion of level and tone on the tips. This trend also sees the strong return of dusty colors as well smoky, that is, deliberately desaturated where a lot of neutral tones and sand undertones are played ».

THE TREND BLONDES
The celebrity hairstylist Josh Liu – also among its customers Ariana Grande, Miranda Kerr and Demi Lovato – expressed the latest trends in blondes. «My favorites are the blond contrasts, such as streaks and panels that are more marked than the rest of the hair, which frame the face. It is not the usual balayage technique, but a temporary and bright detail. In terms of general blonde trends, I’m noticing less platinum hair, which also requires a lot of maintenance especially in the summer with sea water and pool chlorine, and which accelerates the breakage of the ends. Yes to wheat, beige and honey, easier because they do not require a major bleaching process ».

TECHNIQUES AND SHADES TO EXPERIENCE
Let’s make a recap. The Golden Blonde, a la Jennifer Lopez, is a bright but three-dimensional gold, that is, not identical for the entire hair but with customized chiaroscuro to sculpt the face of each. Then there is the contrasting blond, conceived by Jean Louis David, which consists in mixing different shades of blond with, in detachment, the two frontal locks, much lighter for a saucy effect similar to chunky highlights but more elegant. The sculpted blond by Davines is inspired by make-up contouring to illuminate and sculpt volumes through color. Darker shades enhance the light ones and vice versa, in a game of freehand brushstrokes that emphasize, at best, the face and complexion. Retro Hollywood blond, a la Billy Eillish, is instead more homogeneous, always warm and with a shiny finish. From Instagram, on the other hand, it comes il toasted coconut blonde reminiscent of the golden white of toasted coconut. It combines with grungey roots and balayage with warmer, almost lived-in shades, like the natural nuances of the exotic fruit.

IN TERMS OF TOOLS AND MAINTENANCE
«It is always very important to protect the hair from heat – he continues Josh Liu – I recommend, as a plate, the T3 Heat ID which has a technology that ensures the distribution of heat on the plates and prevents damage. The blond will thus appear brighter, the hair will be soft to the touch and healthy to the eye ». Even in the shower, maintenance continues. “By making a mask and leaving it on for 30 minutes or an hour, as a pack before washing your hair, it is an excellent moisturizer that also refreshes the color – suggests Joel Tagliaferri, color specialist and Ambassador Schwarzkopf Professional Italia – For example, Chroma id Bonding Color Mask, if applied at the root, creates a slight touch-up effect and camouflages regrowth ».
