Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Meng

Some lovely curly hairstyles going on in Dekko Salon. Showcasing some variations on curls and lengths on our lovely client Meng.

Meng had a short pixie along the way and is now growing her hair out, we have been keeping track of her grow out stages, through the bob with graduation down to the ‘shag’ look. With Meng’s natural curls, her hair is best styled with Moroccan Oil curl crème twisted and diffused for a curlier look.

I can’t say its been easy, I have come close quite afew times, but it seemed that if I had plenty of shine,there was no hold,then when I got the hold there was no shine! Finally after working with my manufacturers for soo long, I’m happy with this formula and I’m on my way to finishing up with the packaging.

Here’s 2 of my main testers Tiffany and Violet, who also happen to be part of our loyal staff at Dekko. Both looked so great using my BOUNCE curl cream that I had to take a picture of them, Thanks to all others  who helped me test and test again.

Watch this space, updates coming soon…

My Pick ~ Big Hair

Obviously not an every day look for most people but I love the texture, shape and messiness of this look so much, that I wish I did see shapes like this on a daily basis. Looks like we could credit ‘dry shampoo’ to creating this look.

Unfortunately this picture was found with no credits to the stylist and original website so if anyone knows of the original artist, please let me know..

My Pick – Green

I will always remember being told when I lived in Hong Kong that wearing/having green in or on your hair means that you are a ‘lady of the night’ (their words not mine) Since then I’ve always been conscious not to have green in my hair, whether it was extensions (which I had then) or even flowers while living in Asia.

But, fast forward 20years and with all these gorgeous green hair pictures floating around, how can we even resist! Maybe we should just be ‘ladies of the night’ even if for a short stint..could be quite interesting!

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Kerina

Some of you might recognize Kerina from my JujuChan website… she’s been one of the faces of my Texture Powder Styler from the start and recently even helped me make my new product video for me, which was really fun.

Anyway it was time for another change, Kerina had been wearing her hair longer for a few years now and we decided to give her a medium length long bob shape. We wanted to keep the movement in it and keep it looking sexy and tousled, so we put graduation into it, textured it a lot within as well as keeping the ends soft and piecey with with razor.

If there’s one hairstyle that would tempt me to cut off my dreaded locks, this would be the one : )

Here’s Kerina Before:

Dekko’s Daily Grind–Kristen

Kristen was new to the salon. She came in and wanted her long (past her bum) hair all cut off! She wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love. For once I didn’t have to get the tape measure out to check that I have at least 8inches, we must’ve cut off about 14inches of virgin great conditioned hair. Someone’s gonna get a great wig out of this hair..

Anyway this is Kristin just as I chopped off some hair and then luckily remembered that I needed to chronicle it. Out came my i-phone before I whipped it all off.

We decided to take the length up to around chin level, and to bring out as much curls as possible. We were lucky because we both expected the hair to be ultra curly and very easy to frizz but in fact as soon as we took the length up, the curls were soft and very manageable. It was lovely curls/waves that we had to work with. Phew!

When we worked the shape and curls in, we used some style cream, twirled the hair in pieces and diffused dried it before shaking the curls out to create a messier look. Here is Kristin after:
