The Affinage Colour Rebels and Tracey Devine-Smith defy convention in their latest compilation.
“Inspired by London youth culture, graffiti art and street life, the Rebelution collection is a mix of defiant beauty that pushes boundaries and demonstrates creative cutting, coloring and styling at its finest,” enthuses Tracey Devine- Smith of the fresh artistic endeavour from the Affinage Colour Rebels. Though the models look tough, there is a softness that encompasses the overall looks that range from completely shorn to a lavish lob. “Working as a team to get the best out of each model is my favorite part of any shoot,” says Devine-Smith. “We were blown away by the end results.”

Green Scene (right) - A blunt lob shape with slight over-direction on the back layers creates an illusion of extra heaviness on the edges. The color—a deep blend of green and gold—is applied with a smudging technique for an even blend.
Mellow Yellow (left) - “This is a classic buzz cut,” notes Tracey Devine-Smith. “The color is achieved with bleaching and toning using ASP Colour Dynamics. The stencil effect was then created using Colour Dynamics for the ‘rebel’ logo.”
