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:
And here’s Kerina After with her sexy new look:
My Pick ~ Blondie
Most probably a wig but love it anyway, Looks cute with the make up etc. Maybe we should all get ourselves a blonde wig, that way we wont have to snap our own hair off!
Creative Color
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. ‘

Dekko’s Daily Grind – Katie
Katie’s been a client of dekko’s for a while now and she usually keeps her hair color around the same shade of reddy brown. We were inspired by a look we came across a while ago mixing black with brown, so our colorist Nikki decided to change Katie’s hair up and apply this same color combination on Katie’s new look with the heavy fringe.
Here’s afew of Katie with her before hair and color:
And this is after Nikki and I got to her… (sorry I didn’t take clearer pics but sometimes you just don’t have a phone/camera handy : /
