June 2, 2018

From texture to volume, maintaining the perfect hairstyle can be a daunting task. Hair guru and Pureology Global Artistic Director Ruth Roche knows this, and she has plenty of beauty tips for her clients.

For this year’s CFDA Fashion Awards in Partnership with Swarovski, CFDA is working with Pureology as our Official Hair Sponsor. Established in 2001, the brand has a following for its wide range of color and long-lasting coverage, as well as the zero sulfate and natural vegan formulations. At the awards, an accomplished team of hair stylists will be backstage, equipped with Pureology product to keep our nominees, honorees and VIP presenters looking their best! In preparation for Monday, we sat down with Roche, about best hair care tips, key trends to expect at the awards, and whom she is most excited to see.

 

What is your overall hair philosophy?

Use the right products (Pureology of course)! Wearing a look that’s on trend is great, but make sure it works with your face shape and hair texture. A little bit of attention to styling goes a long way, because even the most natural of looks need a little love. Keep your individuality and infuse your look with current trends that feel good to you!

What are some of the key trends in hair at the moment?

Volume a la 80s & 90s and the ‘wet’ look. Bobs, bangs, or bobs with bangs! Short and medium bobs and lobs with and without fringe, worn both with natural texture and smooth or straight.

What looks can we anticipate at the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards?

Sleek chignons, messy high pony, and deep side parts with glamorous polished waves. Accessories in the hair styled both down and up – especially with barrettes!

Who are you looking forward to seeing the most on Monday?

Brooke Shields, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Diane von Furstenberg! 

What Pureology advice do you give to women for their hair?

Take good care of it! Choose the appropriate Pureology hair care system for your hair type. Whether it’s frizzy, fine, or curly, our exclusive anti-fade complex is there to keep your color looking vibrant! Next? Spray Colour Fanatic 21 Benefit Spray into damp hair, and leave it in. It adds shine, smooth frizz, detangle, and protect your hair from heat styling and color fadage. After that? To style, choose one of our Style + Protect Finishing Products to create the look you are going for. We’ve got you covered, whether you’re looking for volume, sleek or smooth, or textured and beachy.
