TropiCali, the latest collection from NEUMA Haircare, represents a fusion lifestyle for this California-based company with the sizzle of the Tropics. “I wanted to take classic techniques and update them with texture and pops of color for a tropical feel. The inspiration blends the best of the Southern California beaches, palm trees and sunsets to combine them with the feel and colors of the tropical rain forest. Hues like island paradise, primrose yellow and pink yarrow enhance and enliven the exotic crimped and curled hairstyle textures. This diverse collection echoes good vibes and a fun lifestyle!” says Meleesa Luna, National Design Team Member for NEUMA.

The inspiration blends the best of the Southern California beaches, palm trees and sunsets to combine them with the feel and colors of the tropical rain forest. Hues like island paradise, primrose yellow and pink yarrow enhance and enliven the exotic crimped and curled hairstyle textures. This diverse collection echoes good vibes and a fun lifestyle! The theme is carried through the latest product education campaign, which highlights the wide variety of uses and combinations of NEUMA Haircare for virtually every hair type and texture.

The looks in the TropiCali collection include textured styles, Zulu knots, upstyles and smoothed coifs. The NEUMA products included in the styling are from the neuSmooth, neuVolume, neuMoisture, neuStyling and reNeu lines. Abbreviated step-by-steps are below with full step-by-steps available online.  The NEUMA team created a hairstyling video tutorial to share the expertise of the artistry behind the looks.
