Is
it even summer if you don’t lighten your hair? Mine was in need of a cut anyway
(it had been over three months – blame the mum life!) but I fancied a change
and I needed some blonde in my life. After speaking with my hairdresser, Zoe,
we decided balayage would be the way forward and I’d seen some photos of
colours/styles on her Instagram I liked... I couldn’t find them on the day, so
let her work her magic!
She
now has a home salon which is simply fabulous. Complete with plush seating, a
magazine table and plenty of extra touches – there’s also one basin and two
stylist chairs. I took my seat and was treated to a posh cappuccino and
biscuit, while Zoe got my colours ready. I immediately felt relaxed and ready
to be pampered!
Zoe
uses Osmo products and although I can’t remember the exact colours she used,
she used bleach alongside a chocolate brown and light caramel. When it came to
washing my hair, she used the colour save shampoo and deep moisture
conditioner. She recommended the latter over the colour save conditioner
because she said it’d keep the colour strong while also maintaining shine and
nourishment. All the haircare products smelt so lush and it won’t be long before I buy them myself. I’ve been
using a L’Oreal colour protect shampoo and conditioner in the meantime, so the
colour’s stayed fresh.
As
you can see from the photos above, I had my hair curled once it was blow-dried
and I feel it shows off the colours better than when I straightened it. The
curls definitely make the colour look more natural. To be honest, it’s been so
hot recently, I’ve barely been applying heat to my hair and either allowing it
to dry naturally, or putting it in a mum bun or plait – to show off its natural
wave.
Once
again, Zoe did an amazing job – she kept my hairstyle the same as the layers
hadn’t grown out. The colours she suggested matched my natural hair well and
were exactly what I wanted. She’s so chatty and friendly and there was never an
awkward silence during my four hours there. I definitely preferred visiting her
salon, than having a home visit – I think it made me feel like Luce again,
rather than mummy. That said, I did have to take Alfie with me!
Love,
