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:

Brave New World

A gorgeous collection by Frank Apostopoulos, who won Australian Hairdresser of the Year – 2013. Frank is Creative Director for BIBA Australia.

His collection is called Brave New World, and as you can see is fantastically full of creativity with an edgy dark serene feel to his work. I love it, fabulous use of real and fake hair, would be perfect for a ‘Mad Max’ kind  of movie!  Love the make up and photography too!

Text and Pictures from’ Behind The Chair’ mag

‘Brave new world. The end came and went, and this is what remains. Shattered realities, retooled expectations, re-engineered dreams. And also, a certain freedom. Freedom to explore unexpected textures; thatched, corded and tufted. Freedom to challenge the limits of shape and color. Freedom to refresh the old, conventional notions of beauty, of what “works” and what’s appropriate. It’s a brave new world and for those who have faced the unthinkable, the future begins to shine just a little more brightly. ‘

Jo Bellamy Salon

Beautiful vibrant collection from the Jo Bellamy Salon, Australia.. Love these!

Words From Style Icons:

The Couture Punk collection by Jo Bellamy Salon displays a sense of rawness contrasted with soft silhouettes which represent a more modern and feminine approach.

The colour is the hero of the collection, provides light and shade to define movement and draw the eye to the fall and shape of the style. The colours are vibrant; a kaleidoscope of shades which meld together seamlessly.

My Pick ~ Blue Bob

I tried so hard to find this haircut color combination without all the text/font on top of it but I don’t think this magazine is letting loose of it yet, hence here it is in all its glory complete with American Salon on top of it. But you get the idea.. I loved this look so much I couldn’t resist. Such a cute color and cut combination by Ricardo Dinis for Aveda. The choker is cool too may I add.  Ricardo is Global Director for cutting, not sure who did the color though but its blooming gorgeous!

My Pick ~ Two-tone

I love this hair cut and color combination. Simple bob style, razored to make it look like she’s cut her own hair, which is what makes it looks so hip and cool! I also love the combination of the grey hair with the blonde ends. Not sure if this is a case of hair growing out with the leftover blonde tips, but hey, that’s exactly how Drew Barrymore made the ‘Ombre’ such a big hit. Regardless I love the look.
