Wella Signature Artist Lindsey Trabucco talked us through a beautiful red-violet color while also creating a curly fringe.
"Think about the color—how warm or cool it is, but also how intense it is," said Trabucco. "The whole concept behind monochromatic is that we’re really playing with these different elements. We can keep the color really intense or make it really soft. We can turn it up, or we can dial it down."
"What I love about this Monochromatic trend is that there’s so much creative opportunity. It’s not just about one total palette. We’re not only focusing on reds or only focusing on coppers—you really can create anything you want. And of course, with Wella and our entire portfolio, you have everything you need to bring that vision to life."--Lindsey Trabucco
