The Best Way to Maintain Your Icy Blonde Hair at Home

If you’re rocking an icy blonde, platinum, silver, or cool ash-toned look, you know how quickly unwanted brassiness can dull your shine. That’s where the milk_shake Icy Blond shampoo and conditioner step in — your powerful at-home solution for keeping blonde tones cool, bright, and radiant.

Meet the Latest Brass-Fighting Duo

The newest addition to our blonde care range, Icy Blond shampoo and conditioner, is designed for very light to platinum blondes, metallic greys, and silver-toned hair. What sets it apart? The secret lies in its unique black pigment. This dramatic pigment deposits onto the hair to stop brassy undertones in their tracks, while enhancing and amplifying cool ash and silver tones.

Icy Blond products are so effective that many salons use them to support blonding services. But you can now achieve salon-worthy results at home. Just remember: the longer you leave Icy Blond on your hair, the more intense the toning effect will be. Once you reach your desired tone, we recommend alternating with milk_shake color maintainer shampoo and conditioner to keep your color fresh and hair healthy.

Powerful Care Beyond Toning

Like all milk_shake products, Icy Blond doesn’t just tone — it nourishes.

  • Milk proteins and amino acids strengthen and repair.
  • Rice oil provides lasting hydration and shine.
  • Grape extract protects color and adds that signature Icy Blond scent you’ll love.

Icy Blond or Silver Shine — Which is Right for You?

Wondering whether Icy Blond or Silver Shine is your perfect match? Here’s how to choose:

Silver Shine is ideal for natural or lightened light blondes, grey or white hair, looking to gently neutralize yellow tones. It contains violet pigments and can be used weekly to keep brass at bay.

Icy Blond is the choice for chemically lightened, platinum, or cool ash-toned blondes. Its black pigment amplifies cool tones and can even create a striking silver effect in very light hair.

Let Your Blonde Shine

Whatever your shade — from soft silver to icy platinum — milk_shake has the perfect care solution to help you maintain your blonde’s brilliance, free of brassiness. With Icy Blond in your routine, your hair will stay as radiant as the day you left the salon.

Top Hair Colouring Trends of 2024–2025: Transform Your Look with These Stunning Techniques

Ready for a hair refresh? Whether you’re after a soft sun-kissed glow or a bold, high-contrast finish, the latest hair colouring techniques of 2024 and 2025 are all about customization, dimension, and effortless style. From timeless balayage to trending foilyage, these techniques are perfect for clients who want to elevate their look with minimal upkeep.

Here’s a closer look at the most popular hair colouring trends this season – all of which you can offer in your salon to meet the latest demands:

1. Balayage

A modern classic, balayage is a freehand technique that creates soft, blended highlights. It gives a natural, sun-kissed finish and is ideal for low-maintenance clients, as it grows out beautifully without harsh regrowth lines.

2. Ombré

Ombré features a gradual fade from darker roots to lighter ends, delivering a striking contrast that’s both edgy and elegant. This technique works across all hair types and is great for making a bold colour statement.

3. Colour Melting

Colour melting blends multiple shades seamlessly, resulting in a smooth transition without any harsh lines. It’s perfect for creating a multi-dimensional, natural-looking colour with extra depth and richness.

4. Baby Lights

Looking for subtle brightness? Baby lights are ultra-fine highlights that mimic the natural highlights often seen in children’s hair. They add delicate dimension and are perfect for clients seeking a soft, radiant look.

5. Reverse Balayage

Reverse balayage is all about adding depth and toning down overly lightened hair. By applying darker tones near the roots and through the mid-lengths, this technique creates a richer, more lived-in finish.

6. Root Smudging / Shadow Roots

Perfect for clients who want a seamless grow-out or an edgier vibe, root smudging (also known as shadow roots) softens the transition between the roots and coloured hair. This technique pairs beautifully with vivid tones, pastels, or blondes.

7. Foilyage

A hybrid of balayage and traditional foils, foilyage involves hand-painting highlights and wrapping them in foil for extra lift and brightness. It’s ideal for clients who want a more intense, high-contrast result while still enjoying the softness of balayage.

8. Money Piece

Want to make a statement? The money piece is a bold, face-framing highlight technique that instantly brightens the complexion and adds dimension. It’s the perfect upgrade for clients looking to try something trendy without a full transformation.

Why These Techniques Are in Demand
Each of these colouring methods can be fully customized to suit your client’s hair type, colour goals, and lifestyle. Whether blended or bold, these looks are designed to be flattering, low-maintenance, and high-impact.

Ready to offer these trends in your salon? Stock up on the best professional colour products and tools in our Hair Colouring Range to create these stunning transformations.

Discover the Latest Hair Colour Techniques with Nouvelle

At Rapple, we’re passionate about bringing you the latest in professional hair care and colour innovation. As the seasons shift and trends evolve, so too do the techniques behind the perfect colour. Whether you’re a stylist looking to offer something fresh to your clients or simply love keeping up with colour trends, we’ve got you covered.

In this post, we’re diving into new hair colouring techniques using some of our top professional brands—including Nouvelle, Italy’s leading hair cosmetic line known for its performance, creativity, and innovation.

  1. Shadow Root Blending with Nouvelle Color Effective

Gone are the days of harsh regrowth lines. The shadow root technique is all about a soft, seamless blend from root to tip, perfect for clients wanting lower maintenance colour.

Using Nouvelle Color Effective, stylists can easily melt darker root shades into lighter mid-lengths and ends. The result? Natural depth, dimension, and longer-lasting results. It’s especially stunning on blondes and balayage looks.

  1. Vibrant Fashion Shades with Nouvelle Color Glow

Colour isn’t just about blonde and brunette anymore—bold is back! Nouvelle’s Color Glow range offers intensely pigmented semi-permanent shades like violet, red, blue, and pink, perfect for fashion-forward clients.

A popular new technique involves peek-a-boo panels or underlights, where hidden sections of bright colour are placed beneath the top layer of hair, giving a bold pop when styled or tied up.

  1. Smudge & Melt Technique for Natural-Looking Balayage

For clients wanting that “I woke up like this” sun-kissed look, the smudge and melt technique is a game changer. This method uses two or more Nouvelle shades to gradually shift colour along the hair shaft, eliminating harsh lines.

Nouvelle’s gentle Bleaching System and high-quality toners make this technique safer and more predictable for stylists, with beautiful, natural results every time.

  1. Reverse Balayage with Nouvelle Espressotime

Looking to deepen blonde hair or add depth to over-lightened locks? Reverse balayage is your go-to. This trend darkens the roots and mid-lengths while leaving ends lighter, offering an effortlessly dimensional finish.

Nouvelle’s Espressotime line—infused with coffee extracts—delivers rich, glossy tones that fade beautifully and condition the hair at the same time. It’s ideal for creating sophisticated lowlights or shadow tones.

  1. Colour-Depositing Treatments for Maintenance

Clients love vibrant, healthy colour—but keeping it fresh between appointments can be tricky. Enter Nouvelle Color Refresh Masks. These pigmented treatments nourish the hair while topping up colour, allowing clients to maintain their salon-fresh look at home.

Offer these as add-on retail items in your salon, or include them in post-colour care packages to increase customer loyalty and product sales.

Partner with Rapple for the Latest in Colour Innovation

New Uncut barber range coming soon

It is not always easy to find the perfect product to use on all men’s hair. Some men struggle to find the right product to use on their hair because not all hair types are the same and require different types of products to style and groom. So, it is important to know what type of hair you have so that you can find out how the different men’s hair products will work on your hair.

What is the difference between web paste and hair clay?

Web Paste

Hair pastes are a bit thicker than pomades and can range from something like a thick cream to wet glue. A hair paste usually gives your hair a medium to very firm hold. This makes hair pastes the most multi-skilled men’s hair products and can be recommended for any hairstyle. Hair pastes are ideal for all hair lengths, types and styles. They are water-based, which means it will easily wash out without any struggles.

Hair Clay

All clay hair products contain a clay ingredient in their formulations and they can range from very thick to very creamy consistency. Clay has properties that are naturally healing and stimulating of the hair shaft and scalp (making it good for men with sensitive skin and scalp) and promotes hair growth. Hair clay also nourishes the hair and scalp because it’s rich in mineral and nutrients. Hair clays are ideal for hairstyles that require tons of volume without having to worry about the styling product weighing down your hair.

Uncut Barber Range

Some men look like they were born dapper. Hair is always on point and skin always clear and to most men, it doesn’t come naturally. Good grooming is an essential part of style, gentlemen.
Soon we will be launching our new Uncut barber web paste and hair clay products that provide the opportunity to create, style and be the man you want to be; a modern, stylish man who looks good, smells good and feels at their best. You can achieve this look by using the right grooming products and we are ready to help you.
