It’s been a little while since we’ve rounded up some of our favorite hair colors made with Fanola, and the end of 2016 seems like a good time to do it again. This is getting trickier to do because Fanola has been getting progressively more popular. People are getting wild out there with it, but the most common use is the Fanola No Yellow shampoo, which a lot of stylists use as a way of pre-coloring. So not all of these hair colors are just Fanola colors, but they were definitely brought to you by Fanola in one way or another.
Brunette to Blonde Transformation
There aren’t many colorists who could hold a candle to a balayage by Rachelle Mariano. The closest thing any will ever get to sleeping on a cloud is to have their hair done by her. This brunette-to-blonde transformation she made a while back is a great example of subtle toning. It has a hint of silver mixed in to create an almost smoky color that makes it stand out from a world of pure blondes.
Burgundy Layers
There are a lot of things to love about this glowering purple hair from color specialist Tiak. The layering, for one, is bold to say the least. It keeps the from looking flat and allows light through in different angles so the style shades itself and creates a more dynamic look. But the color is of course the star of the show here. Instead of a straight red or purple, Tiak took the time to find the sweet spot between the two, and her work paid off.
Ice Queen
Even if the best part about winter is over (RIP, holiday season), we appreciate this icy white color from Esa Beauty Studio. It has all the regal airs of a true ice queen, with a loose tie in the center that’s not quite a braid but perfectly brings the whole undone look together. It’s a fantastic execution of a style that seems to be getting more popular every year.
Red and Curly
We love it when someone goes red using Fanola, because it’s such a tricky color to get right. Isabel of Bellabru Salon has not only properly set a head on fire (figuratively. We don’t condone lighting your client’s hair on fire), but she’s also tackled a head of curly hair and done wonders with it by making it a dark color melt and tying it off with a loose braid.
Mermaid Hair
We’d be remiss if we didn’t include at least one mermaid hair color. White Ivy Studio brings us this vivid rainbow on a long bob. They were not afraid of making intense neon shades out of oceanic colors, tinged with a sunset on top. There’s a lot of fun behind these colors. It’s the kind of thing that a lot of colorists want to do, but very few clients are brave enough to try, so it’s satisfying to see it done, and done well.
Color Melt/Blonde Transformation
This is something of a No Yellow miracle by the people from Revive by M. No intense coloring going on here. It’s just a solid hair save and clean up resulting in a lush color blend. These colorists have done a great job taking an extreme color melt to a soft blonde with a dark layer. There’s a lot of careful hair care and painting going on here.
