I have never “BANKED” my whole attention to produce my work on one product line, hair color line or tool line.  I have always taken what I feel is the best of what will work for me to produce what I am looking for or trying to achieve. Especially doing a lot of print and film work. When I am starting a clients hair, I like to start off with clean hair. Very clean. I am not one for additives, or mumbo jumbo in the product.  Just clean hair.  Simple.

I was given a package from Gary Call from his distributorship and it was filled with products, hair color etc. This was given to me and I thank them.  I like to test all my product before I decide what I will bring into my studio. The first product was the KINSTYLE GELLIN excellent product, excellent! The next that I am going to write about is the Energy Shampoo which is made for fine hair. Well it works fine for me for men, color treated, and over proceed hair. Just a nice cleaning this product will give. All Around I have used it on all types of textures. It cleans well and the scent is not over powering. I have given to my swimmers and they have given me a thumbs up.  Now it was made for fine hair to give volume and that it does. Which was used on my client photographed above Linda. She has fine hair and her reply to the product was a thumbs up.

A lot of women in Florida do not like too much perfumes in their hair , I guess they save it for there Gucci Perfumes.  Just a nice clean aroma. That’s it.  Energy Mask is also a thumbs up.  Just a quarter size is all you need for the mid shaft and ends. And yes my hair color client also used it for a leave-in treatment.  For over 30 minutes. A nice balsam feel to it and a nice creamy texture.  Which also leaves the hair tangle free.  And I will go further as to say I have blown dried the hair with a dime size of the product, leaving the hair soft.  A good blowing product.  Doing a lot of hair color I have used it as a barrier when rinsing out deeper hair color tones on blonde hair, so not to effect the blondest blonde pieces. Which I feel is good to give the hair that is non-tinted a treatment while my color processing is completing.   Thumbs up to both products.   Thank you very much for the package.

Bella!  Bella!

 

Fall Hair Color Ideas You Should Do.

Living in Florida I do not see a lot of the variations of hair coloring as I did when I had worked in the northeast.  Coming to mind I always tell my clients to change their hair color as the seasons begin.  Florida is all about the blonde hair coloring and long straight or wavy hair. And that is all year around. And a lot of people have personality’s who can change the hair color, but if you go to dark on a personality it will not look good. The smile will not be as bright. Hair color can do a lot for a woman’s attitude and her skin color, so keeping it the same throughout is not that creative especially when someone can change with certain skin colors.

Having blonde hair is usually the lightest in the summer time here in Florida. It’s all about the beach, bikini’s and dinner party’s by the shore with your friends.  That is the best time to offer your client’s a time to change the tonal value of the blonde.  Summertime can be all about beige, rose, gold, medium, light and dark blonde.  The Fall time change for hair coloring should be about, coppers, reds, red oranges, plums, burgundy’s, mahogany or chestnuts.  The list can go on and on. Basically it is a time to warm up the hair.

Plus hair color changes can give the hair time to rest.  It is easier to hold coppers, reds and red oranges in the hair than certain tones of blonde hair colors. There is also less maintenance for the hair, a richness on certain skin tones can really bring out the pigment of the skin and also enhance the eyes.  Brunettes also have a certain luster to them brown hair can be quickly enhanced with copper or red copper or golden hues to it.

Either way it is a good time to change the hair color and also a good time to start treatments to it especially from all the summer lightening.  It’s also a good time to redesign your hair style and extend a more amount off on you next hair cut. It will be better for you in the ling run. Hair that has been over-processed from high lightening and summer fun will not take a true tone when you are going to tint back the hair to a deeper blonde or brown.  So it is best to take away a few inches before turning your hair color to a fall shade.  Plus with the shorter hair fall time to spring will give you a certain amount to re-grow what was taken off.
