“We’ve often celebrated the power of collaborations – creatively greater than the sum of their parts. So, we are delighted to co-author this issue of Essential Looks with our flagship colour brand, IGORA ROYAL. With over 120 beautiful shades and some of the world’s most exciting formulas, this year you’ll see an even deeper focus on colour. We have mined the universal zeitgeist and the global state of mind and identified three trends marrying nostalgia, inspiration and newness...”

Simon Ellis, Schwarzkopf Professional's International Creative Director

Inspired by fashion weeks across the globe and then distilled into relevant salon looks, the Essential Looks Royal Glory Collection celebrates the transformative power of colour, featuring the new IGORA ROYAL colour worlds within the trends: Magical Whimsy, Back to Classics and Artful Feeling.

There is a blonde for everyone, irrespective of skin colour, hair type, hair colour or gender. That’s why Schwarzkopf Professional created BLONDME – the only colour and care brand truly dedicated to blondes.

Alongside the reformulation of their iconic hair care range, BLONDME are excited to launch a new #BLONDESOFTHEWORLD campaign, highlighting blondes from 9 global metropolises in a celebration of the diverse nature of blonde hair.

Co-created with global media and entertainment brand Refinery29 (@refinery29), #BLONDESOFTHEWORLD showcases 9 diverse blondes from around the globe, each with their own blonding story. Aiming to alleviate the concerns around going blonde, especially within darker Asian or Afro hair types, BLONDME has become more diverse than ever and aims for the concept of blonde losing any geographical or ethical boundary.

The new BLONDME Care line-up includes stronger neutralisation than ever before, dedicated purification to brighten blonde hair, 3D Bonding Technology and hero finishing products for all hair types – from fine-to-normal and normal-to-coarse.

Who said you can't be blonde? Meet 9 diverse blondes defying stereotypes and embracing their hair.

Schwarzkopf Professional are relaunching their existing BLONDME Blonde Toning range, adding 7 brand new shades to the assortment.

Designed specifically to work with BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lighteners, the new BLONDME Blonde Toning range has been developed to improve hair moisture levels and minimise hair damage, thanks to its Bond Enforcing Hydrolock Technology and pH neutral application mixture. Ensuring superior blonde results – for perfectly balanced neutralisation and sophisticated tone enhancement!

The new gel-crème consistency can be applied via brush or bottle, offering colourists more application versatility. The formula is also easier to distribute, allowing for faster application, especially for long hair clients. The new Deep Toning shades provide further service opportunities for clients with darker pre-lightened bases (5-8), perfect for creating lowlights or shadow root.
