Anna Cecchi Smith Fashion Wonderland

I can't believe that we are already in July! July marks the midway point of the year. It's also considered a month of fun thanks to the biggest patriotic party🎈 of the year that starts the first week of July. It's also a favored month to take a vacation because of the consistently warm and sultry weather across much of the world. But if you're looking for a reason to celebrate anything related to chocolate and ice cream 🍦, you've landed in the right month where you'll find multiple days dedicated to these sugary delights in between more historical observances.

Heads up! My calendar's filling up! ✈️

Exciting events and a well-deserved vacation have me traveling for some of July, September, October, November and December.

Here's a quick rundown:
Haute Couture shows in Paris: JULY 3rd - 15th
New York Fashion Week: SEPTEMBER 8th - 16th
NYBFW: OCTOBER 13th - 15th
Beautick Event (Italy): OCTOBER 31ST- NOVEMBER 6TH
CHRISTMAS 🎄 VACATION: 21ST TO JANUARY 7TH

To ensure you snag your preferred appointment times, booking your September, October, and November hair sessions sooner rather than later is highly recommended!

Don't miss out on the chance to look and feel your best this fall!

🔺 5 YEARS OF ✨ Unlock Your Most Radiant Color Yet – Right from Home!
L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Full Routine🔺

Ever wonder why your color fades too fast, turns brassy, or lacks that salon-fresh shine?
The real culprit might not be your hair…
💧 It’s the metal hiding in your water!

Every time you wash your hair, hard water can leave invisible metal deposits behind. These build up in the hair fiber and cause:

🔸 Uneven color results
🔸 Increased breakage
🔸 Dullness and loss of shine

You can protect your hair—and your investment in color—between salon visits with the full L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox home care routine:

💦 Step 1: Metal Detox Sulfate-Free Shampoo
A detoxifying yet gentle lather that removes daily metal build-up and impurities—without stripping your hair. Leaves it feeling light, fresh, and ready to shine.

Use: Apply to wet hair, lather, and rinse. Follow with the mask. Use it 2 weeks after a color service.

🧖‍♀️ Step 2: Metal Detox Anti-Deposit Protecting Mask
This rich, creamy mask nourishes and seals the cuticle while neutralizing any remaining metal traces. It helps prevent breakage and keeps your color vibrant and even.

Use: Apply after shampooing. Leave on for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

🧬 Weekly Reset: Pre-Treatment (Before Shampoo) after the 2 weeks of the technical service
For a deeper detox, apply to wet hair before you shampoo. It helps prep your strands for a full cleanse and color refresh.

Use: Apply evenly to wet hair before the shampoo, leave on a couple of minutes, don't rinse and proceed with shampoo and then mask.

✨ Step 3: Metal Detox Oil
Lightweight but powerful, this multitasking oil smooths, softens, protects against heat, and adds long-lasting shine—all while continuing to prevent metal build-up.

Use: Apply 1–2 pumps to damp or dry hair. Style as usual.

💕 Step 4: Leave-In Cream
This creamy finishing touch gives your hair added nourishment, reduces frizz, and boosts manageability without weighing it down. Perfect for styling or air-drying.

Use: Apply a small amount to towel-dried hair, mid-lengths to ends. Do not rinse.

✨ It’s like a color insurance policy—right in your shower!

🔴 **BRINGING THE HEAT** 🔴

Spilling all the details on this high-drama, editorial look from our recent shoot featured in image.png! When the lighting is this intense and the mood is pure crimson fire, the hair has to stand its ground and deliver ultimate texture and control.
To achieve this effortlessly lived-in, piecey texture with just the right amount of high-fashion grit, I relied entirely on my absolute holy grails: the **L’Oréal Professionnel TECNI.ART** line. Here is exactly how I prepped and styled this look to make sure it caught the light perfectly:
⚡️ The Breakdown:
The Foundation: Prepped the hair to build incredible volume and workable grip right from the start.
The Texture & Piecey Definition: Used a heavy dose of texture spray to separate those strands, giving it that raw, editorial edge you see in image.png without making the hair feel stiff or heavy. And I used a waver iron
The High-Shine Finish: Finished it off with a glossing mist to catch those dramatic red highlights and give the hair a healthy, reflective glow under the studio lights.
Whether I’m backstage at fashion week or creating magic in the studio, the versatility of TECNI.ART never lets me down. It gives me the freedom to shape, mold, and redefine hair exactly how I see it in my mind.

☀️ How to Protect Your Color-Treated Hair This Summer

Welcome June! While we love beach days and poolside fun, sun, chlorine, and salt water are notorious for stripping moisture and stealing away your vibrant salon color. Don't worry, you don't have to give up the pool. Here is your quick, essential guide to keeping your hair soft, strong, and brilliant all summer long!

1. Oil Up (Your Hair’s Armor)
Applying a nourishing oil before you swim creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture and keeps pool water out. My top picks:

✨ L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Oil – Defends against metal particles and enhances shine.

✨ NEW Absolut Repair Molecular Bi-Phase Oil – Patented tech that deeply repairs the hair's molecular structure, injecting instant strength and elasticity.

✨ Absolut Repair Oil – Deeply restores and conditions weakened strands.

✨ NEW Vitamino Color Spectrum Serum Oil – Specifically designed to shield color from UV and environmental damage while sealing in a vibrant finish.

2. Quick Swim Secrets
💧 Don't Forget to Presoak: Rinse your hair with clean, fresh shower or bottled water before jumping in. Wet hair acts like a sponge that's already full, meaning it absorbs way less chlorine or salt!

👱‍♀️ Put Your Hair Up: Keep your head high! A chic topknot or high braid keeps your delicate strands out of the harsh water while looking effortlessly cute.

3. The Ultimate Post-Swim Reset
After the pool or beach, your hair needs immediate aftercare. Always use color-safe, sulfate-free formulas that cleanse without stripping:

🌿 Metal Detox Line (Pre-Shampoo & Shampoo): Neutralizes metal buildup from water to prevent immediate breakage and color fading.

🌈 NEW Vitamino Color Spectrum Line (Shampoo, Conditioner & Mask): Your ultimate defense against UV rays, pollution, and color-fading elements.

🧴 Leave-In Protection: Lock in your style with Vitamino 10-in-1 Spray (for lightweight UV defense) or Metal Detox Smoothing Cream (for absolute frizz control in heavy humidity).

WHY MY HAIR COLOR TURN
BRASSY IN THE SUMMERTIME?

So you've recently got a new HAIR COLOR — only to find that your hair has turned into a brassy color rather than that gorgeous new shade you wanted. It can be infuriating when unwanted warm tones start to creep into your hair color, or begin to show up after a lightening or a bleach job. Hair can turn brassy (a.k.a. yellow or orange tone) when your color starts to fade over time or hard water.

Often times, brassiness occurs when the bleaching or lifting process during hair dyeing doesn't get rid of all the underlying pigment in your locks because of overlapping of hard water. Since all hair has some degree of underlying warm tones, the removal of your natural hair color then gives brassiness the opportunity to show itself — which means that warm tones start to become more evident in your hair color. Brassiness can also crop up from things like oxidation from the sun, air exposure to minerals and metals, and harsh chemicals in the water while you shower.
"Brassiness is usually found in all hair pigments, especially hair pigments that are lighter. When hair is darker, it typically pulls brassier tones." This means that brassiness often happens in dark hair that gets dyed blonde, although it can happen in highlighted hair or hair that's been lightened to some shades of brown.
Why exactly brassy hair happens — and how to prevent your hair from taking on those yellow or orange undertones you never asked for. From the best professional hair products to use to everyday hair tips anyone can follow at home, here's how to say goodbye to brassy hair and achieve your dream cool-toned shade:

1. Consider purchasing LP METAL DETOX and a shower filter.
It's not just the pool water that contains chlorine and other minerals that are turning your hair brassy — it may also be your shower water, too. Minerals in your water can contribute to color fading, which can ultimately make your hair more prone to turning brassy over time. Luckily, an easy fix for this problem is to use LP METAL DETOX (2 Weeks after your studio visit) and a shower filter, which can sift out all the hard chemicals that's wreaking havoc on your hair (not to mention your skin and nails, too)!

2. SCHEDULE A TONER OR A FRENCH GLOSS
The easiest fix: "You can correct brassy hair by coming back into the STUDIO and applying a French gloss or toner to the hair." Hair toners are used to help neutralize any unwanted brassy or warm tones, and can include demi-permanent color or glosses, which can be applied at the hair studio for best results. "This simple fix with a conditioning treatment and blowout make a huge difference."

3. Shampoo with a purple formula between professional colorings.
When you can't make it to the studio, one of the most popular at-home products to eliminate brassiness is blue or purple shampoo, which deposit a sheer violet-tinged tint to help cancel any orange or yellow tones. Since purple is the opposite color to yellow, it neutralizes any yellow tones to eliminate any brassiness in your hair. I recommend LP SILVER line or the new VITAMINO COLOR SPECTRUM.
It's as easy as swapping in purple shampoo for your regular shampoo every couple of weeks and allowing to let sit in your hair for three to five minutes before rinsing. In between purple shampoos, make sure you're using a shampoo for color-treated hair to preserve your color, too.

5. Wash hair with cool water.
The temperature at which you're washing your hair with can surprisingly make a considerable difference in preserving your hair color to fight brassiness. One of the most common reasons that hair color fades is rinsing hair with hot water, which actually opens the outer cuticle to allow color to fade faster.
"The best temperature to rinse your hair in is lukewarm to cool." After applying shampoo and conditioner, I recommend rinsing with cool water to close the hair cuticle, which can help preserve your hair color and prevent fading.

6. Spend less time at the pool and the beach.
"The pool and beach are definite no no’s when you first get your color done," says Wright. "Beaches and pools strip the color off the hair, taking it back to the brassy tone." Minimize your time at the pool and beach as much as possible (yes, even though it might be tempting during those hot summer days!).

If you do end up swimming in salt water or chlorine pools, I recommend using a hat or scarf to wrap your hair up instead of dunking, or making sure to wash your hair properly and treating it after any swimming. Another tip: Run your hair under fresh, cool water before hopping into the pool or the ocean and apply LP ABSOLUT REPAIR OIL, or METAL DETOX OIL or the NEW VITAMINO COLOR SPECTRUM GLASS SHINE SERUM or the Abaolute Repair Molecular biphase oil . Since your hair will already be saturated with fresh water, it will absorb less harsh chlorinated or sea water.

I hope this 6 steps will help you out to understand better about summer OXIDATION.

If you are getting a COLOR SERVICE or not Metal Detox is a great option
for you if:

You're getting a color service: Metal buildup weakens hair and can affect color results. A Metal Detox beforehand helps ensure vibrant, consistent color with less breakage.
You want a shine boost? Book a GLOSS service—or better yet, add on a Metal Detox treatment!

Metal buildup from water and the environment can dull your hair. Metal Detox removes those impurities, leaving your hair cleaner, smoother, and more radiant—even if you're not coloring it.

It’s perfect for both color-treated and natural hair, and now you can purchase the Metal Detox Pre-Shampoo in the studio to keep up the results at home. Shine starts with a clean foundation!
