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.
