Declared by the catwalks of recent fashion weeks and flaunted by stars on many red carpets, color blocking is back.
Boldly juxtapose vibrant and contrasting colors in solid bi-color and multicolor blocks for a crazy wow effect: it’s called color blocking, and it’s the technique (or rather, the techniques) is designed for those who love an authentic, creative, and fun hair look, a spokesperson for uniqueness and individual expression.
“It originated in the 1990s,” says Vincenzo Panico, director of Wella Italia Styling and creative director of Sebastian Professional Italia, “but compared to the past, today up to four different colors are combined, thus transforming the concept of color blocking into a macroscopic nuance.”
The result? Colors are often easier to wear, thanks in part to new techniques developed by the best salons. An example is Color Block by Wella Professionals, which comes in various forms for the hair: it enhances the contrast with the natural base, plays on areas of light and shadow, accentuates the face contour, and emphasizes natural volume with a palette ranging from cool blondes to browns, touching on pastels for a creative and never predictable twist.
Let’s take a look at some proposals from Wella and Framesi to choose your favorite.
