Oribe–Maximista–Thickening Spray
We’ve just started carrying the new Oribe line at Dekko Salon and although I haven’t even begun to start using the whole line yet, which consists of 42 products, I can honestly say I’ve found a new ‘favorite’ product already and I couldn’t wait to share it with you!
The Maxamista Thickening Spray really does work. Its not just used on fine hair to make it feel thick, I have used this on all different hair types, even thick hair that I didn’t think it would do anything to. To my amazement every time I have sprayed it onto medium to long hair, it makes the hair feel fuller and fluffier. It gives lots of body and keeps the hair feeling very light yet controlled and smooth.
Every single client that I have used this on during our testing period have LOVED it so much, they have rushed out to look for it. Particularly good when used on long fine hair with layers, talk about bigger hair! I even used this on a guy with medium length hair and it made it look fuller and more controlled too.
And if you top it off with their Texturizing Spray (which I will do a separate review) you could end up with Big Texas hair if you want!
The only thing is, I know the words ‘thickening spray’ will put off people with medium to thick hair checking it out but it works really well on all textures with the control and smoothing factor so I hope people will give it a try despite the ‘thickening’ description.
Green Hair Fad?
I’ve been seeing a lot of Green Hair around lately, Is this the next craze or something? Anyone else liking it or do you, like me, think green is a tad too over board? Don’t get me wrong, I love all different hair colors but for some reason, Green is a hard one to like..
Maybe my problem with the Green began when I actually had green extensions in my hair while I was living in Hong Kong. (I must’ve thought it was OK then, to actually have them) Anyway that was when I used to teach hairdressing to local hair students, one of them came up to me one day and said..’Missy, did you know that if you have green in your hair, it means that you’re a lady of the night’!!!! Ah ha, no wonder I had been getting funny looks, I was giving off signs that I was available for the night..Well, out came those extensions right away, and I’ve never looked at green hair the same way!
Anyway I did manage to find and pull up afew green locks that I actually DO like, that don’t make them look like swampy green monsters, even though I have a sneaky suspicion a couple of these could be photo shopped!

My Picks ~ Desmond Murray
I came across these hairstyles from American Salon magazine and thought I would share them with you, The hair was done by Desmond Murray who I thought made longer hair look sexy and sultry while the short looked edgy and rocking!
My Pick ~ Cute-ish
This haircut was done by Tyler Johnston who is Ambassador for Schwarzkopf. A cute bob shape with blunt and soft edges combined. Color makes it pop by what looks like slices added throughout the layers. Fairly simple look but quite cute –ish. (I know ~ I’m not fully committing here)
Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Shelley
Just wanted to show you a quick makeover on Shelley who came in recently to have a change in color as well as a slight change in the style of fringe.
Shelley had never really tried having a fringe before so we gave her quite a heavy one so it could keep the slight wave in her hair weighted down more. We also put a lot more layering into the rest of the hair so the curl would bounce up much more.
Color wise, Jodi took the color from a coppery shade and lifted it up to a beigey blondey shade which is very flattering to the complexion. Great look Shelley all round : )

Intense Curl Cream by MoroccanOil
Here’s one more review for the Morroccan Oil family, my update with the latest curly hair products. I mentioned to you earlier about my love for Moroccan Oil’s Curl Defining Cream, and although I still love it on people who prefer a softer more flexible hold on their curls, I have now found another one of their curl creams that I prefer more for an even more defined look.
The Intense Curl Cream is great for anyone who likes to feel abit more product in their hair, this cream is heavier and creates more definite waves/curls. The consistency of the cream is a lot thicker than the Curl Defining Cream therefore it helps to cling the ends of the hair together and doesn’t allow the frizz to come through on the ends. This one also brings shine through to the ends of the hair, so if you like some shine on your curls these products give you that. Ideal for people who prefer to leave their hair to dry naturally.
Apply by rubbing cream into your hands and then by working in into the hair, I tend to start at the middle lengths, ends then lastly the roots, so that there is not too much product on the roots. Then once the cream is worked in, you can twist the curls into more definite twirls before either diffusing or leaving to dry naturally.
I have to add that I have had a couple of clients who found this product to be too heavy on their hair, so they should definitely use the Curl Defining Cream instead, but for the rest of you, this product is definitely worth a try!
Happy Mother’s Day

The Met Gala 2013 ~ Punk Chaos to Couture
The Costume Institute Gala, otherwise known as The Met is an annual ball to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Museums fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. Hosted by Vogue and is regarded as one of New York’s top annual social event. This year the theme was Punk ~ Chaos to Couture.
Well, with such a fabulous theme to work from this year, I was expecting all the stars and celebs to go ‘all out’ and to have punky fun hairstyles, but to my dismay I was slightly disappointed to see so many celebs that seem to have missed out on the PUNK memo, including the Vogue editor in chief herself, Anna Wintour, who was dressed in a floral pink number with her signature bob. I mean, if you don’t go overboard for the red carpet for this theme, then when can you?
Anyway after scouting around online, I have chosen some of my favorite styles on celebs who I thought made a huge effort to work the theme, so whether you like them or not, you have to give them props for trying…
Such a shame that some celebs such as Jessica Biel, Olivia Wilde, Kate Beckinsale, Miranda Kerr, Kristin Stewart (surprisingly) and Anna Wintour (organizer) to name afew that chose to be so boring and safe. Come on ladies.. lighten up, it would’ve been fun!
