Angelo Seminara

One of the hairdressing greats that I admire so much, Angelo is the Artistic Director of Davines (Hair product line) as well as three time British Hairdresser of the year winner. Here is another collection of his that I wanted to show you all, because this is a demonstration of how great he is, with his ‘Mother Of Pearl’ collection.

In this collection Mother of Pearl comes into focus as a brilliant shimmering cut and color combination. By strict definition, it’s the iridescent layer of material that forms the shell lining of pearl oysters and abalone. These looks show the interpretation of Angelo working with international creative color ambassador Edoardo Paludo.

Hollywood’s Going Short – Again!

Not sure what’s in the water over there in LaLa Land but everyone seems to be cutting their hair off!  Pixies and Bobs, Pixies and Bobs!!

We know these short haircuts are not new, what with Charlize Theron, Michelle Williams, Miley Cyrus, although we wont count Beyoncé for taking out her weaves and creating news by doing so, but there’s definitely been a slew of new ones…

I first mentioned  ‘news breaking hair inspirer’ Jen Aniston who cut off her hair into an A-line messy bob, one rumor has it, the reason for the chop was to get rid of a bad Brazilian Blowout! (Whoops, there goes business for the BB company..) Other news states it was just for the change, but really who cares, why is Jen’s hair always big news? (as I write about it)

But some of the bigger recent changes come from these actresses who have decided to go for the pixie look, whether for movie roles or because Charlize Theron looked so great with it, I don’t know.. funny how there’s 3 Jennifer’s though?

Here is freshly shorn Jennifer Lawrence who always looks cute but in some of the pics I saw, her hair looks a little like the dreaded hair from Kate Gossellin (Kate plus 8) Eek, lets hope I’m wrong here,

Then we have Pamela Anderson looking gorgeous with her pixie, she should’ve done it years ago cos it looks so great.

Next up is  Jennifer Hudson, but there again, I have a sneaky suspicion she’s just taken her weaves out just like Beyoncé did. But anyway, what do you think of them then?

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:

Thanks so much for being such a sport and enjoying the process as much as we did..

My Pick–More Braiding

I love this look. Of course it wouldn’t have the same effect without color work, which goes to show how important it is to have the cut and color combo perfected in placement, and color choice. Thanks to behind the Chair magazine for showing us this style which was done by Sherri Jessee from Sherri’s Hair Salon, Vancouver.

Rokk Ebony’s work

There is definitely something about this first shape with the high hair and chunky sides that I absolutely love. I would wear my hair like this in a flash, in fact I think I did for a while in the 80’s. The rest of the work featured is all produced by Rokk Ebony’s Artistic Team and could all very well be fabulous wigs but very well done.

Styling: Melissa Nixon

Travel Size Texture – Coming Soon!

Yay, after working on travel size bottles for over a year and a half, I think I can finally safely say that with the help of Todi in China, I have achieved my goal. It just goes to show you just have to plod on and on. Even when I went through 3 types of leaky bottles I have stayed patient and true and have now finally got my finished bottle sample and guess what? No leakage and works well with a little pump action.

If all goes to plan I will have them to sell on here within a month, Watch out for my news…
