Its takes a lot of talent to do this one… Look how creepy and real it looks!!
Would have liked to have given credit to whoever did this but I found nothing : (
Hit or Miss?
What do you all think of both of these hairstyles? Likey or no?
Don’t want to be disrespectful here as I know everyone has their own opinions and views, So what’s yours?
Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Robin
Robin was introduced to me through a client of mine as I was looking for a video editor. I had just shot some scenes for ‘How to Use my Juju Texture Powder Styler’. The video needed work and putting together so Robin, who has his own company Banefox and produces and edits videos and short films stepped in to help me make my short video a lot more decent. Robin now has an independent motion picture production company in the works…Revelcade Entertainment.
Anyway, after Robin took time out of his busy schedule to sort out my little hair clip, we decided he should have a change of style. He came into Dekko and I decided to ‘perk’ up his old hairstyle abit.
Here’s Robin before:
After a lot of slicing, chopping, razoring and shaping, we came up with this new shape for Robin..
Looks great right (if I may say so myself) Thanks to Robin for all his help with this JujuChan video.. as well as being patient with my pictures… Cheers!
Dazed Digital ~ I was a punk rock princess
Fantastic visuals of before’s and after’s of the fabulous work of Peter Grey who was the hairstylist on this shoot and Andreas Kurwitz who did all the crazy creative color work. Dazed Digital is the online fashion version of Dazed and Confused.
Fashion Editor Cathy Edwards said:
“I was inspired by some punk hairdressing postcards I found at a car boot sale about 10 years ago. I’ve had them on my wall for all that time and finally decided to show them to a hairdresser and use them as a starting point to create some very extreme ‘hair art’.
Peter is one of the most technically skilled hairdressers I’ve ever worked with and I knew he would be able to do something amazing. He is so passionate about what he does that it was great working with him. He has a brilliant team of really skilled assistants and colourists that means anything is possible!
The girls were all great! It took three days and late nights to do and they all had to have their hair bleached to white before the cut and colour so it was very time consuming. They were all very patient and totally open to anything we wanted to do. I loved the fact they were different characters and all of them really liked how the hair looked in the end.”
Great work, Thanks for sharing with us : )

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Jenny
Every now and again, I start to do my haircut at work and then when there’s tons of hair that start to fly and around a third of the way through I then realize that I should’ve taken some before pictures of my client : (
So I end up taking the ‘after’ pics anyway and hope that the client will have some good ‘before’ pics for me to slot in.. anyway, this was the case of Jenny Ping who came into Dekko to see me.
Jenny was so sweet and was open to having some changes to her hair but still wanted to continue growing the length down. The hair was already asymmetrical but it was almost one length throughout. The only problem I foresaw was the step in the middle of the long side! This was my challenge to try to blend it altogether to make it work with the rest of the hair.
Here’s 2 pictures that Jenny sent to me after showing her hair before the ‘chop’!
Anyway, we decided to layer it all up, lighten up the inside of the hair while keeping the whole outside length long. I also wanted to chop up the fringe area so it didn’t hang to heavy on her face. Once we had layered it all we used some styling cream to get the effect of chunkiness to the hair.
Sorry about the bright ‘back’ picture.. but at least it shows off the layers anyway.
What was surprising about the hair was once all the weight was taken off, there was so much natural texture in the hair, it all came to life and so Jenny could play around and have a much more textured fun look, and I was able to blend in the hole at the side : )
Thanks for posing and sending me the before pics Jenny, I enjoyed doing your hair..
My Pick…
Again, I have to apologize for not knowing who did the work for this hairstyle, but I chose it for its very creative cut and color work. similar to another one I posted the precision work with the color is fantastic (although I hope the work was not touched up in Photoshop afterwards cos you just never know nowadays)
Anyhoo, fabulous strong defined shape, well done to whoever did this!
Growing out your Layers or Hair..
We’ve all been there right? Well I hope so, I hope most women have tried short hair at some point in their lives! Anyway, you’ve had the cutest short haircut and now you’ve had it short for so long, your bored.. Now what? What is the best way to grow out your hair?
I wanted to write this post to help those people who never seem to be able to grow it past a certain length before they cant stand it and off it comes again.
Using pictures to help me describe the different points of growth. To put it as simply as I can, there are 2 main ways of growing your hair out from a short pixie. But with both methods one of the most important secrets to easier hair growth is to keep it thinned out and textured, this will stop it from looking like a bowl while growing and you will be dealing with less hair as well as it looking better along the way.
1. You can either choose to carry on growing out the length as well as the layers until its all longer, the disadvantage of this method is that it will always be quite messy looking and highly likely (if you have a low hairline) that you will at some point have a kind of mullety look. This method will end up looking abit like a shag, so is great for trendier people.
2. You can grow all the layers out longer first while keeping sides and back shorter and neater, then when it reaches a certain length then the whole of hair will need to grow. At some point you will end up with a kid of bob shape. This one is the ‘neater’ way of growing out hair but for people who hate bobs, this method may not be for you.
Then as the hair continues to grow you will hit the worst point where the hair will hit the shoulders and flip! This is unavoidable so depending on how much you hate hair flipping, this can be controlled by how much or how short your layers are at this point. You could grow it down with heavier layers to keep the flipping from happening so much and then add more layers as you get past this stage or you can have quite afew layers and have it looking very rock chickish.
BUT.. you should be aware that depending on your hair type and thickness, having too many layers at this length could very well result in a ‘Rachel’ from friends which in my eyes is a no no!!
Once you get about 2inches past the shoulder then you are scott free and well on your way to having long hair!!! Anyway, hope this helps you get past the worst stages : )
Remember texture texture thin out and chop it up, that’s the secret! Oh and of course a good hairstylist helps : /
Stenciling
Spotted on the catwalk for Betsey Johnson, this gorgeous stenciled lace look created by Redken’s leading stylist Peter Gray.
Peter created this gorgeous look by using black wigs, cut into bobs. They were influenced by Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction as well as the Sassoon bobs and Cleopatra fringes, the lace effect was added because Peter thought a simple bob shape was simply not ‘Betsey’ enough and for those of you who know Betsey we know he was right. This stunning lace look made it all the more special. Gray used lace as the stencil and while it was wrapped around the head, he used color spray to create the look.
The hair/wigs had to be blow dried and flat ironed very straight first as the stenciling effect doesn’t show well on textured hair.
Thanks to these sources for the pictures…….Source, Source, and Source
My Pick..
I picked this hairstyle from an ad for nails, mainly because of it being a very classic one length basic bob. This picture shows that no matter how simple the haircut/style is, the total look can still be of one that is hip, classic and non-mumsy as long as the rest of your look/outfit looks cool!
So all you women out there who are afraid to end up looking mumsy with a basic bob, you should have a think about your total look and not just the hair : )
