Spirited by Essensuals Hairdressing
Toni&Guy Group of salons and salon professionals, under the banner of Essensuals, bring us their "Spirited" collection. The hairstyles revel in the glory of very long flowing locks, evoking images of wind-swept landscapes and passionate moments.
Long Blunt Cut
The Cut: The styles in the "Spirited" collection all work from a basic long blunt cut, with razor texturing.
The Color: The color is a natural-looking blonde, soft and pale with neutral tones.
The Style: To create this look, the hair is blown straight (although it is naturally straight) and further smoothed using a flat iron and smoothing product. Keep the "hold" products such as hairsprays and gels to a minimum to allow for maximum movement and freedom in the very long hairstyle.
Very Long Blonde Hair
The Cut: Within the "Spirited" collection, each style begins with a foundational long blunt cut, enhanced with razor texturing for added dimension.
The Color: Embracing a natural aesthetic, the blonde hue is soft and pale, boasting neutral tones for a timeless appeal.
The Style: The style features long hair blown straight and meticulously flat-ironed to achieve a sleek finish. Minimal product usage ensures fluid movement, while a smoothing serum maintains a tangle-free texture.

Smoothed Fringe
The Cut: The styles in the "Spirited" collection all stem from a basic long blunt cut, with razor texturing.
The Color: The hair color is a natural-looking blonde, soft and pale with neutral tones.
The Style: The hair is blow-dried straight and flat-ironed to achieve smoothness. The fringe area is smoothed with a round brush during the drying process to create a softened frame across the eyes. The remaining hair is left to flow freely and is treated with a smoothing serum and/or shine spray to keep it silky.
Smooth Long Hair

The Color: The blonde hair color is natural-looking, exuding softness and paleness with neutral undertones.
The Style: The long hair undergoes blow-drying to achieve a straight look and is then smoothed with a flat iron for a sleek finish. A smoothing serum is applied to prevent tangles and enhance smoothness, allowing the hair to move freely with grace.
Very Long Ruffed Hair
The Cut: The looks in the "Spirited" collection all work from a basic long blunt cut, enhanced with razor texturing.
The Color: The hue presents a natural blonde appearance, gentle and subdued, with hints of neutral tones enhancing its softness.
The Style: The very long hair is blown straight and backcombed or ruffed at the top, sides, and crown to create volume and height. It's then loosely gathered at the crown area using a clip or barrette fastener. The remaining hair is left to move freely, and a light mist of hairspray is applied to provide hold for the style.
