I want that hair!

Processed with MOLDIV

Thicker fuller hair is on most people’s SS17 wish list! This mid way bob “the MOB” has naturally evolved from just growing out the old bobs and chobs – what ever next i hear you ask? BUT… the key to getting this look right is only achieved by adding in a small amount of fake hair!

Grown out, mussy, (nope that’s not a typo) dressed down texture is the way to get this look right and is way easier to achieve with the right amount of hair added. The ends must never be blunt cut, they have to be ‘tapered” out thus leaving this super soft almost irregular edged finish.

The best thing about this look is it’s SO relaxed that once it’s achieved the down time is seriously low maintenance, but like most natural looking stuff its far harder and needs a Pro to create.

LESS IS MORE is always my motto and so the colour is relaxed and almost vintage and the hair that is added is almost invisible and is only really there to support your natural hair. Doing it this way you can add the exact colour you’ve always wanted without doing any damage to your natural hair whatsoever …

Hair to DYE for

IMG_0534

This remains one of the key looks for this SS17. It’s simple, gob-smackingly gorgeous but above all pretty easy to manage. Our “how to” on this is one of two ways!

Find your self a ” balayage specialist” who can combine baby lights and balayage from the mussy mouse root leading to vanilla blonde mid way and ends, any of my team know how to achieve this but its not quite a simple as it sounds. Someone has to work with  “light but precise colour brushing”  to smudge the roots and blurr out the edges to get the under stated beauty of this. Less is More!

If all else fails or your hair is too short or too fine to achieve this then “fake it” We work with a company called Great Lengths who do fab fake hair strands called flow strands, they come pre coloured to an ombré of your choice and can be added within your own hair to become almost invisible but giving you an new abundance of thicker fuller ready to wear hair.

#AutumnHair #GlazeCraze

Hair glazes are often met with confusion; what exactly do they do? How are they different to a gloss or other hair colour?

Our Creative Director, Lisa Shepherd, explains the ins and outs of a hair glaze treatment and why it’s a great option to go for this Autumn…

1. A glaze will repair any summer damage you have.

If you’ve spent a little too much time in the sun and chlorine this summer then a glaze is for you. It repairs your hair and undo’s all that damage as the glaze will deep condition your hair for ultimate shine.

2. A glaze is in no way damaging to your hair; in fact it is repairing.

A glaze is acidic and closes the hair cuticle which results in a smooth surface texture that will reflect more light, automatically anti-aging, and have a softer feel to it which means you’re getting a colour and conditioning treatment in one.

3. A glaze provides translucent colour and intense conditioning.

A gloss will work with the variation of tone that you hair naturally has, allowing for a more natural shade as it gives a tonal effect as opposed to being one solid opaque colour. Think lip-gloss rather than lipstick.

4. It can help tone down highlights and balayage.

If your highlights/balayage is looking a little brassy after the summer months then a glaze will tone in the colour.

5. It’s a no-commitment change.

The best thing about it is there’s no commitment as it’s going to fade on its own (within 6-8 washes) and if you want to change your hair, it doesn’t interfere with any type of colour change you want to do in the future.

6. It’s totally in for Autumn 2016.

This season’s hair tones will be varying shades of caramel, treacle and bronze, colour glazes will look great over your natural hair or over existing highlights/balayage.

Book in for a colour glaze throughout October and we will gift you a complimentary 100ml blow-dry oil worth £32.50!
