They will be noticed. They will turn heads and they will inspire. They are artful and unforgettable. Most of all, they are red.
With Redtropolis, a new collection of ravishing hairstyles, Bennie Pollard and his BennieFactor Team spoil us with an array of intense looks that seem to explode in their crescendo of color and style.
Red hair, with its power, its burning desire and zest for life has inspired and seduced for millennia and still does today. It seems as if this color, so heavy with symbolism, touches the very core of our being and leaves no one indifferent. There is no middle way for red. It is always extreme, yet pure. It is direct and does not make any compromises.
The Redtropolis looks are flaming cocktails of retro ideas mixed with shots of sci-fi, served with a blazing flame. They are made for the worldly and adventurous, self-confident women of today who dare to express themselves, but would never compromise their high standards.
Bennie Pollard's 25 years of experience, his artistic and highly professional approach are visible in every single haircut. He has always been inspired by high fashion and spent several formative years in Miami during the mid 80s. After returning to his native Kentucky, filled with new skills and inspiration, Bennie began building his empire.
Positive affirmations rule his work and his private life. Bennie believes that wishes and thoughts can in fact materialize and he uses the power of positive thinking to expand his own personal world and his business.
Beside winning numerous awards and being named one of the top 20 salons in the US, Bennie Pollard expanded his vision with a line of cleansing, nourishing and styling products that were composed with the creative hair artist in mind. The products that include, for example, a "b more" building spray, the "b ready" lasting spray, "b creative" pomade and "b excellent" finishing spray with shine are high-quality tools that can be mixed and matched.
Intense Look with Red Hair
Like an all-consuming, eternal flame or a tsunami of deep, burning passion, this hairstyle captivates with its irresistible vibrancy and intense allure. It's a masterpiece of high hair fashion, crafted with the skill of a gifted hair colorist.
The red hue transitions seamlessly across the waves of hair, shifting from a pointed orange sunset red to a deep burgundy, culminating in a true symphony of fiery tones.
The haircut features layers of varying lengths, with the shortest layers at the nape and two striking sections on the sides. The ends are delicately textured. All of the hair is styled forward in wild waves, expertly tamed into a single, artfully directed flow that frames the features.
Curly Quiff
Rockabilly meets Rococo in this short, poetic hairstyle. An oversized, almost caricatured curly quiff steals the spotlight, forming the opulent aria of hair. Large curls, meticulously arranged, defy gravity with their vigorous bounce. Tinted in a deep lava red intermingled with a soft merlot, this extravagant style unfolds into diabolic beauty, fit for a modern-day goddess.
The hair is evenly layered on the sides and back, while the front section is at least twice the length. A natural curl lends itself well to this style, though a perm can also achieve the desired result. Lightweight yet strong styling products support the front, twirling and curling like smoke from a smoldering fire.
Breathtaking Look
Divine eccentricity, infused with the memory of big afro hair, yields this breathtaking hairstyle. The new avant-garde is feminine and exuberant, filled with exhilarating shapes and structures that elevate hair fashion to a new level.
The BennieFactor team presents us with a flaming halo of innumerable, perfectly shaped small curls spiraling outward like ringlets of heat around a calm center.
Balance is achieved with wide and thick, straight bangs that were rounded for shiny volume. The black cherry color is simply out of this world, with its exotic shimmer.
Long Tapered Haircut
The Redtropolis collection thrives on its diversity and the balance of intense visions transformed into wearable art. Familiar colors and cuts are elevated to new heights, offering surprising accents and fresh expressions.
This long tapered haircut showcases impeccable scissor skills with its geometric cut-out that frames the face, contrasting with the irregularly textured ends. The range of colors becomes more prominent with every reflection of light, revealing strands of gentle rose set off by platinum and honey tones.
Radical Short Crop
The shortest hairstyle of the Redtropolis collection is extreme in all its elements. A radical short crop, cut with a razor to achieve the utmost in texture, yet keeping the silhouette soft and inviting to be touched.
All is taken to spicy heights with the color of slowly roasted chili peppers, radiating a gently warming but intense heat.
Styled in a forward motion, it shares the attention with the face of a confident, ageless, and powerful woman.
