Liam Paul / Copper Ombre

Lets talk about Hair Colour...

In Salon i absolutely LOVE working with Revlon Professional's colour ranges. This look im popping on here today was created using their 'Colorsmetique' Range. This range gives gorgeous shine and a beautiful depth to colour to really allow for some amazing results.

The colour itself is a Blend from Lauren's natural base of a medium brown into a rich copper tone on the ends. i tailor made Lauren's copper tone by using 3 different tones to ensure depth and richness to her ends. Blowdried using Orofluido original elixir to ensure a glossy finish. and she also popped a bottle of 7/40 Colour Ball in her bag to upkeep the tone at home as a refresher treatment!

Liam Paul / INDY Hair

SOOO you've maybe realised i haven't been active on my blog of late...there is a couple of reasons for my lack of posts. One being that im totally unorganised haha, but the main reason for my disappearing act is that i have moved salons to be closer to home in Leicester. 

So anyone who follows my other social media feeds will know i am now based at a Leicester city centre salon called 'Indy Hair' a beautiful salon situated in 'The Lanes' of Leicester. 

Back to hair! so here is a snap of a cut from the salon floor just the other day. im really loving these length at the moment, clearing the shoulder with some blunt edges. with Bron's hair I've worked a beautiful blunt shape with some shattered texture afterwards to allow for movement but keeping that BLUNT feel!

Styling the hair with only a dryer (no brushes needed for this one) working Revlon Style Masters Modular mouse number 2 into the roots to give that lift and a D:FI Reshape Spray into the ends for gritty texture and then dried the hair encouraging movement with my hands (mainly screwing the hair up in my hands and lifting the roots) once dry i applied even more Reshape Spray! give it a final scrunch for old times sake and then snap away.

Fake it with Fellowship Hair

So last Monday saw me decend on the GHD academy in Leeds for a Fellowship event called "fake it".

 An evening aimed at sharing experiences with hair extensions and how to utilise them in photographic and stage work. I really wanted to open the audiences eyes to the versatility with extensions and the creative options they give you for any form of creative work. Sometimes time can be your worst enemy when it comes to shooting a collection, so having an option to quickly turn a look on its head that isn't working for you creatively is invaluable. 

With my model Nic I really wanted to show that theory whilst on stage. So I took Nic on with natural hair styled into a beautifully sleek shape and wanted to show how quickly I could build up a colour placement to change the style almost instantly and effortlessly. So working with pre coloured extensions in shades of black and silver and cut to contrasting lengths to expose the black and silver within Nic's copper base. Working in a triangle shape placement in the fringe I quickly built up a solid block of colour to create a new focal point. With the styling then creating internal movement to contrast with solid nature of the fringe.

 It showed how quickly and easily you can expand the creative aspect of your hair styles without wasting time where time may be limited.
