Hi
lovelies, a short post this evening as I show off my new hair, which I
absolutely love! I've known my hairdresser for over 20 years and I honestly
couldn't imagine anyone else cutting/colouring my hair. She's styled it for two
proms as well as the regular cuts, and the colours I've had since I was about
17.
At
a similar time last year, I was in need of a drastic change. My natural hair
colour growing up was a lovely bright blonde, which soon turned to mousy brown
as I got older. I just find it so boring and dull, which is why I colour my
hair at least three times a year. I decided to get my hair dip-dyed - keeping
the root the same and adding a lighter colour to the ends. For me, this was
quite a big thing, as I've always gone one colour with highlights - but I loved
it! Until it grew out and I was constantly told "I love your ombré
hair" - when in fact, I had major roots!
This
time round, I didn't want to be as blonde and Leila suggested using a darker
colour on my root and then just lightening the ends with a toner. I mentioned I
was going away to Sicily and the sun would make it lighter anyway - but she also
recommended lemon juice to help bring out the colour.
I
decided on a chocolate brown on my root, which was perfect and not too dark.
This kept the look natural and the change of colour blended well, rather than
having a shade too dark and seeing that 'stripe' effect. The colour is so
glossy and I'm so pleased with it. The ends aren't as light as I was expecting
- but believe me, this is a good thing! Leila finished off the look with a
curly blowdry, which really showed off the colour - and I've had my hair curly,
or up ever since, but I will eventually straighten it.
I'll
end the post by recommending Panache in Hutton for all your hair and beauty
needs. Luke has done an amazing job in completely refurbishing the salon, from
a dated and dingy place, to one that's modern, with luxe and glamorous decor. The
prices are reasonable and you can even enjoy a chilled glass of wine while you
wait. In the back room, Chloe has her Beauty Suite and she also does an amazing
job of shaping/tinting my brows. Whether you're in need of a pamper, or have an
event or occasion to go to, the team at Panache are fabulous - and so talented
at what they do.
What
do you think of my new look?
Love,
Lucy xx
