L'Oréal Professionnel recently unveiled three new looks inspired by the latest hair trends seen both on the runways and the street style scene. The first look, created by L'Oréal Professionnel Artists Mario Charalambous and Anthony Turner and worn by popular model and socialite Poppy Delevingne, is a fun, bold take on the edgy "splashlight" trend, incorporating bright pops of pink. "Poppy is such a girl of the times, I wanted to create something ultra-modern and even a bit avant-garde,” says Turner. The placement of a striking horizontal band of pink in the mid-length of the hair is unexpected and eye-catching, while the technique of softly diffusing the color on the lower edges softens the effect, making it look effortlessly chic - much like Poppy herself.

3. Mix and apply 10g of INOA ODS2 Clear + 1g of INOA ODS2 6.66/6RR to the mid-lengths of the hair contained in the horseshoe section. Smudge colors together where they meet to create a diffused line of demarcation.
