SOFT SERIES* — LAUNCH COLLECTION

SOFT SERIES* — LAUNCH COLLECTION

by Minkyung Kwon

The launch of JIUDI set out to escape the weird world and build a world where true expression is supported and hold the feeling of finding identity as a guide for this project and create a space where declaring it across all realms with no reservations is the norm. JIUDI’s first collection, SOFT SERIES* is a hair colour collection was born out of a nostalgic revisiting and deep dive into childhood loves in the name of design process and inspiration. This unique assortment of small-batch, semi-permanent hair colors introduces an on-going series of colours in a range pastels and soft neons. The three colours that kicked off the series nods to an iconic anime character from a psychological-apocalyptic-mecha drama anime, a favourite childhood dessert that is an undeniable delicious delight, and the plushy, sparkly good feels of the McBling era and aesthetic.

2. Small Batch: In our commitment to support small vendors/labs and be conscious of waste and the space we take up in the world, a small batch approach to the first collection was obvious. JIUDI is dedicated to offering a unique, carefully crafted and curated colour range.

3. Hair Health Forward: Watching the trends in other corners of the beauty realm like skincare first makeup and the rise of scalp-care, the JIUDI formula fits in comfortably with ingredients like Vitamin B5 and Hydrolyzed Rice Protein. Prioritizing hydration and repair from any potential damage during the bleaching process.

4. No Harsh Chemicals: With the inspiration for this collection being a look back to childhood, the era of box-dying your hair is absolutely canon but the harsh chemicals stop here.
