The New Year came and went with lightening speed, as it usually does, leaving everyone with a new vision for the year to come. As you shake off the season (and pumpkin pie) past, you realize that you are on the search for a new style and a new outcome on life. You want a change, and you want it to be bold. Thoughts may have arisen about chopping off all your hair, or getting a bold fringe, but this wont satisfy your craving. A New Year calls for a new color, and this year you’re going to get bright about it.
The new URBAN SHOCK Brights are the perfect color for your new outlook on life. These 6 gel-based intermixable shades allow the stylist to expand their direct dye color palette, crafting depth, shade, brightness and the audacious new shades you could have only dreamt of. These direct dyes, available in Ruby - Rose, Charcoal - Silver, Aqua - Mint, Amethyst - Lilac, Berry – Magenta, and Cobalt – Sky, put a bold twist on creative color. The URBAN SHOCK Brights formulas are 100% PPD, gluten, ammonia, paba and peroxide-free and are fortified with a blend of ECOCERT ® certified shea butter and superfruits, which allows the stylist to create beautiful color while helping protect the health and condition of the hair.
As the ultimate inspiration for your new style, check out the looks from the URBAN SHOCK Brights collection!
