The 2021 Golden Globes were all about escapism and finding your best Zoom angle. While a few — namely the iconic Bill Murray in a Hawaiian shirt and Jason Sudekis in a tie-dye hoodie —  opted for quirky comfort, many celebrities took their outfit to the next level with full-length evening gown couture and unique tuxes in all colors — we see you Dan Levy! This year’s awards full of glitz and glamour were a welcomed change to the pajamas, sweatpants and top knots we’ve all been wearing the last year, although Jodie Foster in Prada pajamas curled up on the couch with her wife and dog did make quite the case for the latter. Alongside the choice in outfits, the hair was yet another element we were happy to see. While there were countless looks we loved, we’re detailing a few of our favorites below. 

This spring, you can expect to see beautiful bold colors that aren’t just in flowers and dresses, but are in hair too! Switching up hair color with the change of the season is something that clients will begin asap and will linger throughout the summer months, so it’s best to get a head start on all of the hottest color trends. 

It's been a while since everyone interacted with each other face to face and might be a bit out of practice, it can’t hurt to have a little refresher and learn some tips on how to get the hair color your client actually wants.

Do you feel like no matter how much moisturizer or conditioner you slather on that your hair and skin are still parched AF? Your water could actually be to blame. 

Regardless of whether you love wash day or not, we can all agree that making it to wash day can be quite tricky! The first two days of the week are easy because your hair is still fresh from the previous wash day and it’s fairly easy to style and manage. It’s when we get to the middle of the week that your hair starts getting a bit difficult to deal with. It doesn’t have to be this way, though! With a little bit of time during the week and the help of some trusty products, you can sail easily to your next wash day while giving your hair brief refreshes throughout the week.

Summer is a time of the year that calls for extra highlights and more time spent under the sun. While we love lightening our color and days spent lounging, highlights + UV rays can lead to excessive damage to your strands. In an effort to improve the look and feel of your hair color while also cutting down on damage, incorporate Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate into your routine. 

Fall hair color has always gravitated toward darker colorations, but this season we have a feeling brighter hues will be on everyone’s radar. Recently, Wella Professionals North America Ambassador Briana Cisneros took her long-time celebrity client Audrina Patridge to a new level of blonde. While this shade was ideal for summer under the sun, they chose to take Audrina to new levels by transforming her blonde locks into a beautiful pinky hue just in time for fall. Read on to see all the highlights and hear expert advice from Cisneros!

If you’ve been struggling with the change in seasons, have undergone a serious transformation or are looking to upgrade the overall appearance of your style there are a mix of lifestyle changes and quick fixes that can help you get the shine you desire.
