ESSENTIAL LOOKS: CREATING TOMORROW'S COLOUR TODAY COLLECTION

Discover the latest trends from Schwarzkopf Professional's Essential Looks. This season's hair trends have a sharp focus on extremes, colours and contradictions. In our brand new Autumn/Winter 2:2019 collection, these trends have been transformed into cutting-edge looks by some of the world's most visionary hair artists.

The Creating Tomorrow’s Colour Today Collection showcases eight looks across three key trends:

Color Clash celebrates bold shades, glamorous clashes and strong silhouettes, alongside rich, fluid movement and understated power.

Urbaganza reinvents classics with a slick, high-shine edge; norms are shaken up, classic forms are fearlessly reimagined and unexpected combinations take the lead.

Texture Tension plays on translucence and purity, showing that sometimes less is more and life is about making an understatement.

The collection strikes a balance between high fashion lovers and individuals making an anti-establishment, anti-fashion statement.

“It’s a super diverse new world order of self-expression, where everybody has the freedom to be whoever they want to be and exercise their human right to creative expressionism, all the way. While change is in the air, we are also seeing a deep need for authenticity in everything." Schwarzkopf Professional International Creative Director, Simon Ellis

Let your imagination run wild with the Creating Tomorrow’s Colour Today Collection!

More and more, individuals are turning to the healing power of Essential Oils to balance the mind, body and spirit. To offer an oasis of harmony away from everyday stresses we have launched our new premium hair care brand powered by oils, Oil Ultime.

Inspired by modern aromatherapy, Oil Ultime has been developed with precious Essential Oils as well as 100% natural, purified oils to REbalance and REilluminate hair, scalp and mind.

The in-salon Harmony Ceremony is a sensorial journey based on aromatherapy that combines Essential Oils with an exfoliating scalp massage to beautify hair and balance the mind.

Each in-salon ceremony is combined with the Oil Ultime Oil-In-Scrub, which contains luxurious Lotus Flower Extract and precious Argan Shell particles to remove impurities and release clogged up pores.

For beauty that radiates from the inside out, hair is then cleansed and beautified with high-performing, yet lightweight oil formulas for either fine to medium hair (Oil Ultime Marula & Rose Oil range) or medium to coarse hair (Oil Ultime Argan & Barbary Fig Oil range).

Finally, as a finishing touch, a complementary Oil Ultime Finishing Oil is selected to complete the service, leaving hair illuminated with radiant shine and sublime softness.
