Top Tips For Coloring Textured Hair

Choosing the right tones for your color formulation is one of the most essential components to achieving beautiful color results. But formulating can become tricky when working with different undertones and texture types that reflect color differently.

In Rachel’s words, it’s all about using the right products from Redken and Mizani to support healthy color, care and styling while complementing your client’s natural tones and texture rather than trying to fight against them.
