Russell L. George Blog: Trending Hair Colors This Week

Our #HolisticHairTribe brought their A-game this week – we had a hard time choosing which work to feature! But one thing is for sure – with every hair color we highlight every week, we challenge preconceived notions about ammonia-free, holistic hair color. And in an industry that’s been accustomed to using chemical-laden salon products, it’s amazing to see the stylists using ammonia-free hair color to display their talent and creativity.
