The Looks of Dual Voltage
Red Edge:
Subtle asymmetry meets graphic, etched perimeter lines in this bold, bowl-shaped cut. Velvety rich ruby tones are shadowed by accents of deep violet to produce intense color drama. In the “low voltage” finish, Design Pulse Mix in Shine seals hair before straightening for the ultimate high gloss shine. The “high voltage” interpretation rocks out with a modern pompadour, supported by Vavoom Take Me Higher Root Riser and Design Pulse Rock ‘n Hold Hard Gel. Locks like these are handled with care by the new Total Results Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner.
Bronze Bolt:
Weight is released with judicious layering, allowing long, luscious strands to attain their full, voluminous potential. Vibrant bolts of copper and gold enliven the waved texture. Vavoom ShapeMaker Shaping Spray provides heft and hold for the curling iron set in the “low voltage” version. Design Pulse Iron-In Thermal Styling Mist and Vavoom Freezing Spray play starring roles in the creation of the towering, high-voltage upstyle. Biolage Hydrathérapie Shampoo and Conditioner guarantee soft, supple, hydrated strands.
Flickering Flames:
Hair heats up thanks to this vibrant, shimmering, movie star red. The lightly layered cut encourages unlimited style variation. The low-voltage finish presents a gradual explosion of tousled, sassy curls, protected by Design Pulse Iron In Thermal Styling Mist and locked in place by Design Pulse Hard Lock Extra Strong Hold Hairspray. Unadulterated glamour is unleashed in the high voltage variation, with Vavoom Hold My Body Forming Gel and ShapeMaker Extra Hold Shaping Spray doing the heavy lifting for this confectionary creation of dramatic cinnamon curls. Long lasting color vibrancy is assured by the new Total Results Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner.
3-Way Switch:
A neatly tapered perimeter anchors an explosion of crown lengths in this whimsical shape with rockabilly swagger. Strong streaks of cool beige, nestled within the rich, chocolate base, provide the perfect balance of subtle movement throughout the lengths. The trendy, “boy band” finish is accomplished with Design Pulse Switch Flicks Wax-Gel. The sky-high, high voltage interpretation gets its heavy dose of attitude from Design Pulse Messy Couture Molding Paste and Design Pulse Hard Lock Extra Strong Hold Hairspray. New Total Results Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner set the tone for healthy, shiny hair.
