Re-Rooted, the Schwarzkopf Professional Essential Looks 2:2023 collection, is a curated assortment of trends for Autumn/Winter.   

If you’re unfamiliar with this series, Schwarzkopf Professional’s bi-annual Essential Looks collections share new techniques and services with professional hairdressers. Every Essential Looks 2:2023 trend features one ‘stop-and-stare’ Catwalk Look and one ‘want-to-wear’ Salon Look.  

The aim of Essential Looks? To inspire and educate you as a professional hairdresser. That said, we look forward to seeing how you interpret the looks in Re-Rooted for your clients.

Simon Ellis, international creative director for Schwarzkopf Professional, says, “Together. A passion for hair…These very words strike right at the heart of our shared love of hair, of craft and of creativity. It’s in our DNA; it’s the crucial uniting aspect of our community. It’s why we do what we do. It is what fuels us…and that is the question we are exploring with Essential Looks 2:2023: what is fuelling global communities around the world in terms of lifestyle, fashion and, of course, hair?”

Re-Rooted, inspiration: 

Re-Rooted is a trend for the strong, aware and empowered. It focuses on telling personal stories. It explores those who let the stories of yesterday shape, inform and define the stories of today; who revive their roots through personal reinterpretation. Following people who embrace their heritage and values and how they use and share their learnings to help inform and guide their community.  

Re-Rooted Catwalk Look, Samira: 

Re-Rooted is all about accentuating and enhancing, tailoring the hair in terms of texture, colour and cut. The Re-Rooted Catwalk Look sports textured disconnections with heavily personalised face-framing that feels tailor-made. Cut by Tyler Johnston, who defines the look as a “layered out, textured haircut with a cool-girl fringe.” 

Coloured by Lesley Jennison, the Re-Rooted Catwalk Look embodies a deep, earthen brunette, accentuated by cherry tones.

Re-Rooted Salon Look, Sarah: 

The Re-Rooted Salon Look shows rich, dimensional shades. With hints of natural, cool and mink tones – illustrating high-shine and luxe refinement. Cut by Christos Michailidis, who says the look is a “modern classic,” with “beautiful face-framing pieces combined with a luxurious finish.” 

Christos’s layers create body and airiness, while carefully constructed face-framing sections add volume. Coloured by Ashlee Norman, using traditional techniques to create high-resolution, low-maintenance results; with natural, cool mink tones.  

Salon service, #FoilayageMelt: 

The Foilayage Melt Colour Service uses a series of balayage-like interlocking triangles pivoting around the head. Each triangle is broken into two foils; the top foil mirrors the effect of surface painting, while the saturated ends of the second give an ombré result.  

Ashlee says, “I used over-direction forward when applying the ombré ends so that they followed the crest of the face-framing pieces, creating a perfect synergy between cut, colour and most importantly, individual.”
