Seasonal Curl Care and Color Transition with Ouidad Educator Barbara Burke
Get inspired this season with Fall Colors and join us for Curls & Style trends. This 1 hour class is designed to inspire your curl game and keep your clients on-trend for autumn. We will explore the intersection of rich fall hair color pallets, trending curl styles and the Ouidad products that bring them to life.
In this session, Ouidad educator Barbara Burke explores the seasonal shift in curl care and color, highlighting how stylists can transition their clients' textured looks for autumn. Barbara emphasizes a move toward "lived-in" color palettes inspired by natural food tones like chocolate, honey, and cinnamon, moving away from high-contrast vibrant reds. She demonstrates professional techniques for placing dimensional color, explaining how horizontal and diagonal sectioning can create soft sheets of color rather than distinct ribbons, which is essential for blending on curly hair. The session provides a deep dive into the Ouidad product portfolio, focusing on the importance of maintaining curl structure during chemical services. Stylists will learn how to utilize clarifying treatments like Water Works to prep the hair and restorative protein therapies to prevent breakage. Barbara also demonstrates practical finishing techniques, such as "breaking the cast" with weightless oils to achieve soft, touchable curls without frizz. By the end of this session, stylists will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of how to layer moisture and protein products to customize care for every curl type, ensuring clients maintain healthy, defined, and on-trend results throughout the season.
