The Punk Movement Continues...

Spring Trends To Wear Now: Punk

The popularity of DIY owes a lot to the early punk movement. While nowadays the term punk is applied to teens with mohawks and safety-pin embellished ensembles, the original movement created a new aesthetic that moved against mainstream ideas about fashion, spawning a look that defied style norms. Androgynous haircuts, chalking, tousled styling, and disconnection are great ways to integrate punk into your style.

Step: Asymmetric cuts have an imperfect, DIY quality that adds edge to any style. For the most dramatic version, play around with extreme length contrasts, like pairing long hair with micro bangs or super short sides with a long, mohawk-inspired top. Keep edges piecey for a lived-in feeling. The new hybrid pixie bob is a perfect example of a modern take on this look. 

Step: High contrast blocks of color create a bold, gritty feeling. Ask your Lattouf colorist to create a placement that enhances your overall shape or embrace DIY and use hair chalk to create temporary color effects at home. Our fav is KEVIN.MURPHY COLOUR.BUG NEON 

Step: Use low sheen, texture enhancing products to get a grungy finish. KERASTASE POWDER BLUFF dry shampoo is great for holding high volume styles and creating a matte finish. KERASTASE SHORT MANIA will give detailed separation and mussed up appeal to short styles and the NEW KERASTASE LAQUE DENTELLE will give flexible hold and grit to gravity defying shape.

On Trend Colour

Muted Pastel Violet

This color carries a mix of delicate floral beauty and weedy toughness. The muted pastel red violet is unusual but on trend, and less expected than plain pink or blue. Try it alone, weave it through a deep brown base, or add a few violet tips to a pale blonde. However you use it, this stand out shade is sure to get noticed. Read on for the professional formulation and application tips.

Tips: Pre-lighten strands to a level 10 before applying the tone. If the hair is very porous, use less P mix to prevent ashiness. If using as a highlight, pair with a deep brown shade that has violet undertones, like Goldwell Topchic 5BP, 4BP, or 5RB.

Formula: (On pre-lightened level 10 hair)

Goldwell Colorance 3 parts 7PK + 1 part P Mix with Colorance Acid Lotion.
