Contrast this with 2026’s Bombshell Blowout akin to the 1990’s big hair wearing models in the Guess Jeans ads.  Yet today’s 2026 version is much softer with rich looking elegant hair color.  Other elements include volume, movement, and a touchable roller set look even if that is achieved with a curling iron. 

Again we turn to our smart product Tela Beauty Organics Liquid IQ Smart Bond Pro Treatment and Tela Beauty Organics Liquid IQ Smart Bond Elixir to give the hair the status it needs to carry off this elegant dressy look.  Note that some differences between the in-salon and take-home products are in the potency and fragrance.  The in-salon Tela Liquid IQ Smart Bond Pro Treatment is fragrance-free and has a heightened potency and increased concentration of about 5 times more effective than Tela Liquid IQ Smart Bond Elixir. 

This retail formulation was purposely created to maintain results in between the Guest’s in-salon Tela Liquid IQ Pro Treatments.  It differs than the pro version in that it is intentionally created to have a consumer-friendly lower potency level.  Plus it contains the signature Tela Peppermint fragrance, an effective ingredient great for calming the scalp and the senses.

Uniquely, both Liquid IQ products are very easy to use proving favorability with both Stylists and Guests.  Simply apply the proper amount of the Tela Liquid IQ Elixir and move throughout clean, conditioned hair from root to end, do not rinse.  Next, layer on any styling products the texture requires, and begin the heat styling process which activates the ingredients.  So you can virtually achieve the Year 2026 styling trends while dramatically improving the condition of your hair and protecting precious hair color investments as well.
