Pilar Rubio abandons the black hair that has starred in one of the presenter’s most characteristic identity traits for years and gives way to a more luminous side, moving away from her “dark” aesthetic spirit but preserving a certain essence.
She has trusted María Roberts, CEO of Studio25 (hairdressing centers specialized, above all, in extensions and color, which already have 5 points in Madrid: Quijorna, Malasaña, Getafe, Fuenlabrada and Móstoles) to leave the dark side behind and give way to a winter hair that evokes summer.
Maria wanted, inside that is a drastic change for Pilar, respect both roots and inner strands. That is why there she removed the black color to replace it with a chocolate brown. We could speak of a bixie in a much softer and more delicate version that is not forced. What they both wanted to achieve was that Pilar had a chestnut essence but with light contours.
For this, it uses a trend that will break 2022 in a timeless way, both in winter and summer, “Dark Vanilla” (this is the name of the technique), it will preserve different shades of blonde for the outermost contours of the hair (from the whitest to the most golden / vanilla).
All of them intermingle framing Pilar’s face but, at the same time, her blue eyes continue to stand out due to the contrast of brown locks inside and roots.
The intention was to make a change that would continue to respect Pilar’s aesthetic identity but that would have the necessary nuance to look different and with hair full of light and shine.
The architect is responsible for the hair and look changes of many celebrities in our country, the last change she has made has been that of the actress Mina El Hammani (protagonist of ‘Elite’, the international Netflix series), her construction:
“Curly hair with a lot of volume that came from intense black, what I wanted was soften that darkness by making very light highlights on the inner parts to achieve that natural brown tone and provide luminosity to the mane but always respecting its natural roots. Although we take the opportunity to smooth the hair with slight undulations, when it is washed, its characteristic natural marked curls will return to their being,” says María Roberts.
Do not forget that actresses like Blanca Suárez, María Pedraza, Natalia Verbeke, Sara Sálamo or Danna Paola have trusted in their work leaving everything related to the care of their hair in their hands for years, the hair is an important aesthetic part to take care of in the lives of the actresses and they trust a professional to whom they leave the advice and maintenance.
The keys are: from extensions for specific events, discreet changes, fringes for a specific shoot or radical styles like Pilar’s or the return to dark brown by Blanca Suárez.
María is an ambassador for Dyson (in heat tools) and Swarzkopf (for color products) and has her own hair line by Studio25, among her bestsellers is ‘Perfect Blonde’, a repertoire of products with violet pigment to care for at home both blondes and highlights.
Also its perfumes for hair, a trend that has been on the rise for a couple of years and is expected to continue to go strong in 2022.
