I wanted to share these 3 haircuts I came across, I love the color work and the technique of blending all the colors together. Colors and style by Goldwell – Taiwan. (Thanks for sharing Julie Loo)
My Pick..
Came across this guy’s haircut, and even though I’ve seen it many times, I think this guy carries it off without coming across too soft or feminine, like most do.
Maybe it’s the bit of facial hair but it manages to keep a more rugged look, even though it has all the overly wispy ends which I always go on about so much, for some reason, I like this one, it works for me (as Steven Tyler would say, all the time)
My Pick..
I love this hair (both styling and color) so much that I wanted to show you the pictures separately so you could see them better. This is Rinko Kikuchi, a Japanese actress from Japan. You may remember her from the movie Babel with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchet.
The hair is styled by Keith Carpenter (from the Wall Group) for Marie Claire, but what I love most about the hair is the block coloring through the top – refreshing to see color on top instead of all the Ombre Coloring we’ve been seeing so much of lately which puts the color underneath and below. I know it means high maintenance but as you can see with the bit of roots coming through, it still looks great.
Hit or Miss….
So what do you think? I think he’s a singer from a band called Big Bangs TOP. Not really my cup of tea but I have to say, at least they didn’t give him bleached out yellow Asian hair, right?
Going back to my ‘way too feminine’ look for Asian guys article. I really don’t think this one can be helped really, what with that baby faced look, how can he NOT look fem?
My Pick..
Taken from a DSquared Ad, its most probably a wig but hey, I liked the total look of it a lot.
Love the bowl shape as well as the way it has slightly chunky edges and a little bit of layering throughout the edges. We used us call this the pageboy/halo style back in the Vidal Sassoon UK days.
If anyone is interested, there’s a great new educational website that features a heck of a lot of talent showing alot of haircuts and colors. Here is a clip of a video of a classic Halo haircut demonstrated by Stacey Broughton. (Ex Artistic Director from Sassoons)
Nice!!
My Pick..
I found this picture online of Korean actress, singer and model Yoon Eun-Hye and I thought ‘What a cute look she had’!!
Sometimes its hard to make bleach blonde shades look good on Asian hair but Yoon managed to make both shades of blonde work very well, making her Pixie cut unique and fresh looking. Very pretty!
But hey, I guess if your ranked #44 out of Korea’s Top 100 most powerful and influential people in the Entertainment Industry, then you’d better make sure you look ‘mighty fine’ eh?
Hit or Miss??
There is something soooo wrong with this hairstyle, don’t you think? Wait, though, the color is good, at least the shade is a good one, no signs of triad looking yellow bleach at least!
But his haircut and style is not very good looking for his face shape is it? If only he blended in his fringe with the ‘explosive’ looking bit at the top, it could’ve been a good punky look, but instead with that separation, it looks like he’s got ‘mall’ fringe!!
Hair by Dove Palmer Part 2
Update – If slideshow does not start, see hair pics here..
Here is my 2nd round of haircuts to show you from Dove Palmer, I have chosen another 10 fantastic looks for you to check out : )
Dove Palmer is Creative Director for Vidal Sassoon Advanced Academy in London, UK. He also ran the Masters Academy for them too and has made 3 DVD step by step videos as well helped in contributing at least 12 haircut pictures for the Academy Photo collection. I came across Dove’s work on Facebook and instantly LOVED the exquisite work done by him. Funnily enough Dove turned out to have the same mentor as I did back in the day. Stacey Broughton (also from Sassoons) has been his mentor since he went to work for Sassoon’s. I definitely spotted the Stacey traits in the haircuts.

I have so many different styles to show you that he has done over the years that I have decided to split them up into 3 slide shows so that we can make the most of showcasing his work. Dove’s specialty seems to be on Asian hair, whether its because he tours to the Far East to do seminars so much (and for up to 4months at a time) or maybe its because his wife has so many friends that needs to utilise his craft, I don’t know, but whatever it may be, I’m so happy to be able to show you his creative work on Asian hair. Here is part 1 of 3, I will show you the others at a later date so look out for more of his precision cutting : )
Thanks Dove for letting me share with my readers.
My Favorite Shampoo.. Nou Nou
Davines Nou Nou Shampoo for Colored Hair..
I have been using this shampoo for over 4 years now. I love it.. The whole Davines line is one of the product lines favored by Dekko Salon. Manufactured by Italian company Davines – Nou Nou Illuminating Shampoo for color treated hair. I don’t normally like to use conditioner on my hair as I prefer to have it all ratty and feel fuller, so with the Nou Nou shampoo, I feel as though it is moisturizing enough on its own that I don’t need to use a conditioner as well. It lathers well and with one application, I feel like my scalp is clean and moisturized.
For those who do use conditioner, Nou Nou also makes the conditioner cream for color treated hair. I have tried it and found it to be not too heavy, so it doesn’t leave your hair too flat and soft.
Comes in handy travel sizes that I love, fillable bottles that you can use for a long time.
