Curly Cut and Rich Red

Rock ‘n’ roll is back, and styles from the era of big volume and curls are making a statement in a big way. For this look, the PHYTO team added depth, dimension and brightness to bring out the cool copper shade and enhance the curly, face-framing cut. Here’s how you can recreate the cut and color in your salon!
