Blend And Blur With Jamal

Blend & Blur with Jamal Edmonds, with NEW! Color Gels Oils

Coverage and Dimension for Textured Hair

Redken-Mizani Ambassador, Jamal Edmonds, introduces a new gray coverage technique: Blend & Blur, perfect for textured hair clients.

WHAT IS IT? Blend & Blur is the ideal technique to provide your clients with elevated gray coverage, while providing a soft-hold style for curls, coils, and waves.

WHY WOULD I USE IT? Using the newest innovation in both Redken and Mizani’s portfolios, Jamal Edmonds can rejuvenate coarse, wiry grays while ensuring clients’ curls stay defined.

Redken’s newest permanent haircolor, Color Gels Oils, allows you to not just cover grays, but rejuvenate them. New! Color Gels Oils has hair rejuvenation technology that allows stylists to cover grays and provide increased shine and condition—perfect for clients with coarse, wiry grays. This vegan formula contains 2% apricot oil for added smoothness to help with hair’s manageability and with an MEA+ engine, the color is deep and saturated, with up to 100% coverage on every single shade. This ammonia-free, no-drip formula guarantees a luxurious experience for your client in the chair and you, behind the chair.

New! Color Gels Oils is perfect for this technique as it can help rejuvenate even the most coarse, wiry grays. Jamal Edmonds (@lamajbackwards) says, “Oils helps add condition to curly hair while processing, leaving it shiny & smooth and it won’t compromise the curl pattern.”

After using the Color Gel Oils, finish the look with NEW! Mizani True Textures Coil Stretch Cream to achieve the perfect wash ‘n’ go that lasts. Coil Stretch Cream helps elongate, define and shape coils for a natural soft-hold finish without drying out your clients coils. A Paraben and silicone-free formula with a kind ingredient blend of Sea Moss, Coconut, Olive and Marula Oils-this styler feels like a cream but holds like a gel. A perfect finish to the Blend & Blur technique.
