Fudge Professional’s laid back luxe means you get high impact looks for your clients with little effort – ideal for the party season.
Ta dah! Here is a handy guide from Fudge Professional for their ‘ultimate’ festive styles using damage-free, healthy hair tips from Ambassador Jonathan Andrew. Easy to share with your clients and make them love you even more…
Blow out
Jonathan suggests explaining to your client that to get a blow-dry to last a good few days, use heat protection and don’t hold the hair dryer too close.”You wouldn’t do it with your skin, so you shouldn’t do it with your crowning glory.”
Top choices for a blowout: Fudge Professional Blow-Dry Aqua Primer, which includes hydrating hyaluronic acid combined with Weather-Shield™ technology, delivers all-day humidity resistance, frizz control, softness, and visible shine.
Top condition
Share how properly conditioning hair is essential for the party season and recommend leave-in treatments. Advise using a mask once or twice a week in addition to a highly-repairing shampoo and conditioner.

Life of the party
To keep hair voluminous over the party season, Jonathan stresses the importance of using the right shampoo and conditioner for specific hair types. Tell your clients to choose “nothing that will weigh it down but instead give it body and moisture.” Suggest that after washing they apply a volumising mousse.
Jonathan recommends blow-drying hair with a barrel brush for a party look and then applying Velcro rollers. After, spritz with hairspray, leave for at least 10 minutes (longer if possible) and then remove rollers for luscious, full-bodied volume.

Curls for days
This is a cute one: Curly hair often gets frizzy this time of year, so Jonathan recommends wrapping hair in a towel after washing, ensuring the curl direction is downwards to help keep the shape. Use hands to control the curls rather than brushing, which can cause frizz. Jonathan also recommends spritzing hair with a curl enhancer to protect it from heat and encourage soft natural curls.

Styling staple
Dry shampoo is an excellent product for achieving shape and texture when styling. Jonathan says explain to clients that dry shampoo is an excellent alternative to hairspray, giving a softer lift and body to hair with a more textured finish.
Textured updos and ponytails also work great with dry shampoo -“Don’t be afraid to use it for more than just cleaning your hair!”

Blonde Ambition
Blonde alert! Lighter coloured hair needs extra attention during the party season, as it is prone to dryness. Remind clients that “if you’re spending time and money visiting a professional colourist, it’s important that you also invest in the right care products when you leave the salon, too.” Professional Blonde shampoos and conditioners include ingredients that keep the hair looking salon fresh.
Whether looking for a purple shampoo that will erase yellow undertones or a golden-toned shampoo that will enhance warmth, choose wisely to suit individual needs.
Top choice: The Fudge Professional Clean Blonde Damage Rewind range ensures that blonde hair remains fabulous between salon visits.
Straight off the catwalk
For your busy clients who want to race from their desks to the dancefloor, Jonathan suggests “cocktailing” hair products for a standout look.
