Hairdressing education for professional cosmotologists

 

VirtualHairCare as always visited Hair Expo 2003 and we certainly saw... everything. So if you are after the low-down on anything hair that took place as part of the weekends happenings, this is where you will find the information.

Ionic or ceramic were the big product developments that we noticed. If your new hairdryer or staightening system does not include the use of 'negatively charged ions' to bring you added conditioning benefits then your just not up with it!

If your hair brush or flat irons are not made of the latest ceramic heat conductors to bring you maximum drying/styling action at the same times as not getting too hot and burning your locks then you may as well not bother! It all boils down to hair condition and even though we want to tease our hair into the styles a lot of the time we are doing it no good in the long term. Developements like these help to not stress or damage the hair as much but moderation in any styling would still be our best advice though.

Styles at Expo 2003?

There was a definate theme to the styles and cuts on display from both the international and home grown hairdressers. Fringes were strong and bold, not a fine wisp in sight. Many were asymetric, the hair sitting over one eye. The blunt fringes were contrasted with the rest of the haircut where texture and movement but not curl was more the theme. Often cut into 'V' shaped points at the back and again an asymentric theme.

What Colour Trends did we see this year?

Colours were strong and bold or in the words of Annie Humphries or Vidal Sassoon they were "mono or accent colours that literally pop out of the shape of the cut". There was not a fine high light anywhere, colours were placed in panels or large sections that peeked through in all their vividness. Most people wouldn't be up for a pink stripe but the techniques demonstrated were very translatable into more everyday colours and would be very effective.
