Haunted houses, Hocus Pocus, pumpkins and bite-sized candy — the spooky season is finally here! If you ask hairdressers, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t LOVE this time of year, especially if that involves a Halloween look. To spread the spooky vibes Karla Valenzuela, Sam Villa Ambassador and Redken Artist @kolor.me. karlaa, shares a fun look for a little inspiration. “J-Lo's high buns inspired me for this Medusa look. I wanted to give the idea of snakes by waving the hair in a snake-like way and weaving it throughout golden snakes,” explains Valenzuela.

Whether it’s from coloring your hair, heat styling, or mechanical damage, all hair textures and types experience breakage. However, some experience more damage than others. This is why every guest can benefit from knowing how to reduce the factors that lead to compromising hair health.  With fall and winter dryer air approaching, Ashley Brown, Sam Villa Ambassador and Mizani Artist @ash_hairbarbie dives deep into how to identify breakage, how to prevent it, and the various ways to wrap hair for ultimate protection.

Looking for a change of style but without a total commitment? There are so many styling options for longer shags because the multiple layers allow plenty of movement to play with.  But what about those who want to go shorter but just aren’t quite sure if they want a big change in length?  Sam Villa, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sam Villa and Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken, has a trick for styling a faux bixie so people can actually see what they would look like with shorter hair.
