<div>
With the world of hair seeming to be raving about the 'granny grey' and silver grey trend, I thought it was an opportune time for me to go silver myself. Especially as I had just launched in stores a new Silver Grey toner called 'Colour Restore Chrome'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are considering going Silver or Grey it's worth you reading Part 1 of this piece first, as here I give further details on the subject <a href="http://scottcornwall.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/shades-of-grey.html">Shades of Grey Part 1</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So if you are considering going grey or silver, you should now understand the necessity is to get the hair to pure white. Neither silver nor true grey shades can display on darker warm or blonde bases.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once the hair is white, it's actually very easy to create the grey or silver shade. However, it's the process of getting the hair to that white, which can be time consuming and intricate. You firstly need to gently lighten the hair. I used my product Decolour Stripper, however you can use any non-ammonia lightener. Do not use full strength bleach because it will lift the hair too fast and may cause damage. In addition, do not attempt to use any 'lightening blonde' box colourants that feature shades claiming to be tonal light blondes (such as platinum or ash) The reason I do not advice this, is because very light retail box colourants are tending to 'colour protect' the hair with silicones and waterproofing as found with darker colourants. This is absolutely no good when you are attempting to create a platinum base. Simply because, if the hair does not lighten enough and warmth is exposed - the hair will not tone with any other product and would certainly not go platinum. This happens because the hair has been 'colour locked' by the actual colourant shade. In effect, it's been locked in and sealed, so no other toning product can enter and evoke change.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Instead, you need to lift the hair gently in two successive treatments with a pure lightener. Once the hair has lifted to yellow, it can be toned to platinum to achieve white and then toned again to grey or silver. In addition, when hair has been lightened - it will be open and susceptible to good toning in a way colourant treated hair may not be. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Step One - Clarify, Clarify, Clarify!</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is crucial you clarify your hair before you start any colouring process, but this is never more so the case than when lifting with non ammonia lighteners. The reason being, is due to the fact that ammonia free lighteners are far gentler on the hair, however they are not strong enough to cut through any styling products, silicone and residual build-up that may have accumulated on the hair shaft. Clarifier's are strong cleansers that are not only able to remove this residue, but also slightly raise the cuticle. This enables temporary colours and ammonia free colourants and lighteners to successfully enter the hair and evoke change. I used my own product Precolour Clarifier on my hair, I designed this to work specifically with pre-colour treatment. However, as long as you use some kind of clarifying product you will be fine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Step Two - Apply the lightener firstly to damp (not dry) hair.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once you have clarified your hair - towel dry it. When you are double processing the hair, you ideally want to evoke an even first lifting to a lighter shade, followed by a more concentrated second lifting. In my case, I was using Decolour Stripper to lift my hair. Decolour Stripper should be applied to damp hair, because it enables the lightener to be worked evenly throughout. Once I applied the stripper to the damp hair, I allowed it to develop for only 20 minutes. This took my darker brown shade to an orange. Whilst this orange shade isn't pleasant, what it's indicating is the hair has been entered and has lightened up by several shades. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After applying the Decolour Stripper to damp hair and within 10 minutes the hair begun to turn orange. I gave it around 20 minutes development before rinsing out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Step Three - Once stripped to orange, rinse out and Clarify again</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Once I had gotten the hair to an orange, I rinsed and clarified again. Here the hair will feel a little course, however you do not want to apply a conditioner as the lightening session is still open. If you apply a conditioner, it will coat the hair and then make the next lifting harder. Therefore, keep the hair well open and only using a clarifier to remove that lightener. Once you have rinsed and clarified for around 3 to 5 minutes, you towel dry and then rough dry the hair with a hairdryer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Step Four - Second lightening </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Unlike the first stripping/lightening it is now important you rough dry the hair with a hairdryer. The hair will feel course and will need to be carefully combed. However, the second lightening is the key one. In the first, you have stripped out a lot of the pigment and got the hair to an orange shade. The next lifting is designed to kick out all the unwanted orange and lift the hair up to a pale yellow. Mixing new and then applying the non ammonia lightener or stripper to dry hair, means it will not be diluted so you can retain a shorter safe development. Apply the Stripper or non-ammonia lightener carefully with the tint brush, starting with any areas that appear to be a deeper orange. Avoid the roots as much as you can as these will lift faster. Once you have applied all the Stripper or lightener to the dry hair, you will very quickly notice it lifting again. Remember, the session is still open from previously (as you clarified and did not condition), plus the lightener has been applied to dry hair. Therefore, you will see a much faster lift happening. You ideally want to leave the second Stripping/Lifting for 30 minutes. However, keep wiping very small threads of hair every 5 minutes with a piece of tissue and look for lack of orange and a clear pale yellow. If the hair is orange, it will not tone to white. Therefore, you want to be looking for a depth and tone the same colour as the inside of a banana peel. </span></div>

<h3>
Step Five - Rinsing Out Stripper and lightener and preparing to tone</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once the hair has reached a pale yellow, you need to rinse out all the lightener from the hair and clarify again. If the hair is pale yellow, this will be the last chemical process it will have to undergo. Again, you will notice the hair feels dry and course. However, this does not mean it is damaged, it has just been opened and the cuticle remains ruffled. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Step Six - Toning lifted pale yellow hair to white</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In order to get a grey-silver shade to fully show, you need to firstly tone the lightened yellow hair to a pure white. If you attempt to apply a silver or grey colourant on top of brassy hair, it will produce a sludgy heavy tone as opposed to a crisp silver grey shade.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After getting my hair to pale yellow, I used my Colour Restore Iced Platinum, to counteract all the yellow tone and create a pure white. I generally recommend Colour Restore Iced Platinum stay on the hair for 20 minutes, however in this case I left it for 30 minutes as I wanted to the maximum toning possible. As you can see (below) the hair went to a pure white from the initial pale yellow.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(Left) showing how my hair looked after second Decolour Stripper was rinsed out. (Right) showing the shade after applying Colour Restore Iced Platinum for 30 minutes. The base was (by this point) pure white.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Step 7 - Finally, Creating your Silver-Grey shade</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With my hair pure white, all I now needed to do was apply the Chrome Colour Restore. I applied the Chrome with my hair slightly damp, but I did want it a little on the drier side - so the hair would over absorb - which is always a good tip when you want to display silvers and greys. After working the Chrome through the hair I left it for 30 minutes and rinsed out. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Colour Restore (as a range) is actually very conditioning, so following the application of the Iced Platinum to achieve the white, my hair felt softer anyway. However, after I applied and rinsed the Chrome I did condition the hair. The reason I did a traditional conditioning (at the very end), was to close the session and the hair. By this point, the lightening and toning was over, so the hair did not need to remain open any longer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Finished Result </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can see, the Chrome turned the white hair to a silver grey. My reasoning for showing the two photos is due to the fact one is in sunlight and the other inside. You can see, that under direct light, the Chrome tone comes out a metallic silver. However, inside (without daylight) the Chrome tone has a more grey hue to it. </div>

Last tips:-</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you create a grey or silver shade, remember that it is really important you use only shampoos designed for kicking yellow tone out of grey and silver hair. I would recommend you switching to using 'White Hot Hair's' Shampoos. These are specifically designed for natural grey and white hair, however they are also great for artificial white and grey shades. White Hot Hair, also do some styling products that are also designed for silvers and greys too:-<br />

When those pesky dark roots come through, you can blend them away with Bouffe's Silver Thickening Spray. Whilst the Bouffe range is designed to give volume, the colour aspect also enables regrowth coverage. By spraying the Silver Bouffe variant onto your regrowth (as it appears) you should be able to quickly blend in a silver tone that disguises regrowth.<br />

Finally, to retain your silver grey tone, make sure you use Colour Restore Iced Platinum and Chrome as your regular two minute conditioners. Simply wash the hair, then alternate (with each wash) between applying a small amount of either of the tones to the hair and leaving for 2 minutes before rinsing. By continually refreshing the Platinum undertone and Chrome overtone, you will not find your silver grey vanishing over time!</div>

Seeing this shade emerging in 2014, I knew consumers would need a Silver Toner to create these soon to be desired grey hues. For this reason, I created Colour Restore Chrome. Where as Colour Restore Iced Platinum is designed to neutralise yellow tones and Cool Ash orange tones, Colour Restore Chrome builds a solid Silver grey colour in white blonde hair.</div>

So before I explain my Silver Journey, what are the bare facts of artificial silver and grey hair?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<b>Will it suit me?</b></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Generally grey and silver hair is more amenable to suiting varying skin tones than people would believe. After all, Silver and grey are of the 'white' family and because white (as a colour) is (by contradiction) void of colour, it's a key neutral. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, there are certain skin tones and natural hair types who should really stay away from silvers and greys. Generally, if you are the archetypal 'warm' with freckle prone skin and (natural) auburn or copper toned hair, changing your shade to grey or silver will be very harsh on you. The excessive cool tone will cause the skin to have a drained and aged quality and the overall look will be harsh. If you are very warm toned and love the idea of being a super light shade, take a tip from Nicole Kidman and keep it warm. In these instances my Candy Colour Restore Toner is a much better option. </div>

<h3>
<b>There are so many silver shampoos - will these create silver or grey?</b></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No! This is now another big area of confusion. Silver shampoos were (originally) so named to keep naturally grey and white hair clean and pure looking. In recent years, artificial blondes have found them good to prevent the hair displaying soft brassy tones. However, all such products can do is offer very mild neutralisation of unwanted yellow tone. They cannot actually create a grey or silver. However, once you get your hair grey or silver, you do need to switch to using a silver or blue shampoo as your regular cleanser. The reason being, is grey and silver hair will very quickly turn a dirty steel yellow if you do not keep counteracting the underlying yellow pigment in the hair.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<b>Is it easy to create a silver and grey shade?</b></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It depends on the natural base and length, but generally it can be quite intricate. Effectively, silver and grey hair is a platinum blonde that requires significant lightening and toning to get the hair to white. I would never recommend anyone attempt to lift artificial dark, long hair to platinum blonde in one hit - the hair will just not stand it. Instead, a good recommendation is to firstly get long hair to a soft orange and then overlay a Lilac Pastel colour. The lilac will counteract the orange and produce an off-blonde beige. If you then keep conditioning the hair, several weeks later you can go in again and lighten some more. Eventually the hair will tone to white, and from this point you will get be able to successfully overlay an effective grey or silver shade. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unless you have short hair (like mine) or are confident you have no artificial (dark or tonal) colour anywhere within the hair, just don't attempt to go grey or silver in one hit. The greatest warning I can give is NEVER mix up strong bleach and 40 volume (12%) peroxide and apply it to artificially coloured, darker long hair types - expecting to get a white blonde. Strong bleaches and peroxide strengths are very harsh on such hair types and using them will cause the hair to go into meltdown. Rather than lifting, the cuticle will be burnt off, the hair will not budge passed a bright peach and you will never be able to tone it. The aforementioned, is perhaps the biggest mistake I see home colourists making when trying to go light blonde. So be patient and take this process slowly - overtime.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A great example of what happens when very dark artificially coloured hair is bleached in one hit, with the late great Amy Winehouse. You can see how the hair is holding pockets of orange (where the previous dark shade had been). The peach shade can also not be toned as the cuticle is gone and the orange too deep. The loss of Amy and her talent speaks for itself and if Amy was still with us, she's a great example of someone who would have pulled off the dramatic silver grey look fantastically.<br />

A lot of people have asked me how you can transition into a grey shade. In addition, this subject is now being covered a grey deal in the media and press. So below are my thoughts, tips and advice. <br />
<br />
1. The press would have us believe that under artificially coloured hair, we all have a fantastic mane of beautiful silver tresses. In fact, I have yet to see an article (unless I contributed) which actually explains the blunt truth - so here it is. Most of us do not go grey in an even and stylish way. When we get those first greys (anywhere between our early 20's to late 30's) they will be interspersed with the rest of the hair. Some people are fortunate enough to go grey at the front and then it evenly spreads backwards. However (for the majority) the white hairs will come through randomly and all over the place, perhaps 10 years into going grey, most people have a badger effect with patchy clumps of white. <br />

<br />
2. In general (although not exclusively) we begin to grey at the front. So here is the problem, I have had vast amounts of people tell me "I'm completely white now and want to transition to silver". So we start allowing the grey to grow through and guess what? They are still completely 'non grey' everywhere but the front! So in this situation, they can either opt for a Mallen Streak or continue to colour. This scenario can be a real nuisance for many as it's the front hairline and parting section (of grey roots) that can be the most noticeable. <br />

3. If you were naturally dark and believe you are now very, very grey - watch out for artificial hair colours that keep turning copper!! This is indicating the colourant (either yourself or your hair salon is applying) has a high strength of peroxide and is lightening the non grey hair. When you lighten dark natural bases the hair obviously goes copper. However, white hair cannot go copper as there is no longer red or orange pigment left in the hair to expose. Therefore, if you are seeing a lot of copper in hair you believe (under an artificial shade) to be very grey, think again as you must have more or your original depth than you think! Preventing unwanted copper in a grey coverage shade can be achieved by using a low strength developer and an ash based colourant. <br />
<br />
<br />
4. Some of us may never go fully white, but for those who do the transition can take a long time. The best way to understand how white you actually are, is to get someone (hairdresser, friend, relative) to go through your head (like the nit nurse lol) and check your grey roots throughout. They will be able to tell you how much of your original shade is remaining throughout, and how much is grey. You might be surprised to learn your entire back section is still 100% it's original colour and never needed artificial colouring! <br />
<br />
5. From my experience (and as stated in point 3) artificially coloured hair that kicks up a lot of warmth (when coloured) is indicating a great deal of the original shade is still present. When someone has a high amount of white/grey the darker (artificial) colour starts beginning to look very flat, heavy and synthetic (from root to tip) It will lack warmth and will look artificially coloured. This happens, because there is now so much white hair (across the head) the artificial colour is displaying as an even blanket and in addition being sucked into the hair. Therefore, a shade can look two (or even more) levels darker than indicated on the box or swatch!<br />

SOLUTIONS<br />
<br />
6. When you start to cover the first signs of grey hair DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT pour an entire bottle of permanent colour over your whole head! This is opening you up to a lifetime of regrowth application and chemical exposure you just don't need! Instead, buy a non ammonia colour and mix in a tint bowl and using a (purpose bought) toothbrush, go throughout your hair and 'dab out' any whites you can see, but leave the natural hair untouched. Always pick a non ammonia colour 2 levels lighter than your natural shade. However, this simple 'dabbing' method will produce a highly natural (multi-tonal) colour, without root straps - so your upkeep is lower. You will know when the hair needs to switch to a full head regrowth, as the grey will start appearing as a strap and the toothbrush application will be taking longer and longer! From this point switch to standard regrowth application. However, if you find you have large isolated clumps of white (in an otherwise dark/original base) continue with the 'dabbing' method. Dabbing also helps prevent hair becoming gingery through developer lightening as you only ever target those white hairs/areas that contain no red or orange pigment. The other benefit of 'dabbing' out isolated whites and patchy grey is it produces a very natural 'multi-tonal' effect instead of that artificial bloke colour. Very few hairdressers do this, but it's the secret to the top colourists and celebrity coverage! <br />
<br />

This ultimately creates a a very natural multi-tonal brunette. </td></tr>

<br />
7. Always cover grey roots by application with a tint brush to those grey roots only. Never try to select a shade the same level as your natural/original colour,instead go two levels lighter. Only apply the colourant to the roots (never throughout). If you are finding your roots need tending to every 2 to 3 weeks, your colour is now too dark for your grey base. When you find yourself colouring more frequently, simply switch to a shade one level lighter than the current. You should aim for regrowth coverage every 4 to 6 weeks. A lighter artificial shade is less noticeable next to grey regrowth. Think of it on percentages. If you have 10-20% grey, you can use a colourant 1 level lighter than your original base to achieve a natural effect. If you have 30 to 50% grey, your base is now 30-50% lighter (due to the white hair) than originally, therefore select a colourant 30 to 50% lighter than your natural/original shade and so on. Whenever you notice you are colouring more frequently, it means your hair now has a percentage more grey (than previously) and you need to go up a level (eg from 5.0 light brown to 6.0 dark blonde then to 7.0 medium blonde and so on). As you transition, (over the years) your hair will begin to naturally lighten with the grey - until you can decide to make a complete transition. If you are mindful your hair is always in a state of gradual lightening and adjust your shade accordingly, you will not be trapped in a cycle of very dark hair with a white regrowth strap appearing every 2 weeks!<br />
<br />
8. When you have decided to transition to grey, remember you may still have to colour. During transition, the best method to deploy is to stop root colouring completely and start having bleach highlights added. You can then tone these with Iced Platinum Colour Restore and use a blue shampoo as your regular cleanser. Keep having the highlights added every few months and eventually (as more of your natural grey grows through) you will notice that initial blonde shade is now appearing silver. This is indicating all the old artificial colour has been lifted away (or grown out) and instead you are now highlighting on pure grey. This method is also very good for those who have patchy 'badger' grey and want to be a silver. If you ask your salon to simply weave out those 'non grey' dark areas and apply bleach highlights into them, you will start to achieve a silver effect. You can also achieve this at home with a highlighting cap. The key is to lighten those highlights through the orange stage and then tone to platinum. If you then only use a blue shampoo, the cool tone will over deposit and the artificial highlights will appear silver.<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Does grey suit everyone? No! As a general rule those who were naturally very warm (so your typical redhead) really do not suit white or grey hair. These skin tones are very warm and the ultra cool hair tone next to that skin causes a sallow effect. When significantly older, the natural 'redhead'/'gold' hair type can suit a pure 100% white. However, warm natural hair types - who go grey - will actually start obtaining a nicotine yellow. This happens because the original copper/auburn base begins to lighten as the white hairs appear. Therefore, you don't achieve a silver but a washed out yellow blonde. For natural redheads and auburns (rather than going grey) the best approach is to go light golden blonde. A good example of this is approach is Lula. The maintenance of a lightest golden blonde is very low and using a 9.3 to 10.3 (light golden blonde) shade gives minimal contrast between the nicotine/white roots and mid-lengths - meaning you will need those roots doing less often.<br />

10. Lastly a word to the media! Helen Mirren IS NOT GREY!!!!!! This is driving me mad! Every single article on grey hair features Helen Mirren as seemingly the poster girl for grey hair! Helen Mirren was once a natural golden blonde. She has (obviously) gone grey, however her colourist simply applies a platinum highlight throughout. This produces (what I call) ice blonde or soft metallic blonde. This is a great idea for those who were naturally quite fair and have gone grey, simply because it uses the grey hair as a base and then intermixes a cool blonde tone. However, you cannot call this shade 'grey' anymore than you'd call an Emu a Flamingo!! <br />

If the media want good examples of grey haired celebrities look to Emmylou Harris Jamie Lee Curtis and (sometimes) Julie Walters<br />

Simply switch to using Precolour Clarifier instead of your regular shampoo for 3 washes, trying to avoid traditional conditioners and heavy styling products.</span><h3>

If the Christmas season saw you using lots of product and sprays, your scalp could have a residue. Using Bicarbonate of Soda on the scalp is a natural way to gently remove residue and exfoliate. To use, simply rinse the hair with warm water, put a small amount of bicarb into your palm and gently rub palms together. Then work bicarb paste throughout the scalp massaging vigorously for several minutes. Rinse thoroughly with comfortable tepid water for a further few minutes.<br />

To use, simply apply 1/2 teaspoon to your palm and rub palms together to heat oil. Work the coconut oil through towel dried/completely dry clarified hair. Wrap the hair in cling film and leave for 30 minutes. Before rinsing the coconut oil, apply a tiny amount of Precolour Clarifier to palms, rub palms together and then lightly work through the hair. Because coconut oil is greasy, it needs a tiny amount of cleanser to remove surface excess before proceeding to rinsing with tepid comfortable water.<br /></span><h3 style="text-align: center;">

Many hairdryers feature a warm and cool shot and if you wish to speed up drying time you can use these settings. During Detox, using a tangle brush or comb after clarifying/treatment and then leaving the hair to air dry naturally is the best course of action. </span></div>

<![endif]-->Lupita Nyong’o' not only triumphed in the Best Supporting
Actress category for ’12 years a slave’ but also demonstrated an elegant and
simple hair look that not only harmonised seamlessly with her sky blue dress,
but also demonstrated how very short afro hair can be accessorized to great
effect.<br />

Whilst Lupita’s style is very cropped at the back, the use
of the simple headband framed her face whilst drawing the hair backward at the
crown for an almost ‘hair up’ effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In recent years many profile women with natural afro texures have typically used weaves or wigs (such as Beyonce) or had the texture
relaxed (such as Michelle Obama).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, whilst the bob is seen as the classic cut for European hair
texture, the short ‘afro’ shares identical classic effect for women of
colour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Lupita’s case, the pure
simplicity of both the cut and how she wore the hair (on the night) was not only
elegant but demonstrates how wearable pure afro texture can be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Afro texures actually respond very well to silicone based serums. In Lupita's case, a simple serum would have been applied and the hair directed backward before the headband was put into place. Afro hair is very reliant on moisture, so using silicone based shampoos and conditioners can be a good move. Many silicones draws moisture into the hair, in hairtypes that are very curly and specifically afro, this can prevent drying, whilst the coating properties of silicone will cover the cuticle and give increased shine. Coating silicones tend to cause problems on finer and (particularly) European hair textures, because they draw too much moisture into the hair and (with such textures) will build up with continued use. This causes finer (naturally) straighter hair types to become flat, lank and even damaged. However, in very curly and afro hair types, high silicone items tend to have the opposing effect and can give hydration, strength and increased lustre. </span>

<span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif";">Cheryl Cole
surprised everyone last week with an Instagram photo of (what appeared to be) a
very pale blonde Ombre look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, today
Cheryl arrived at Heathrow Airport with a more traditional ‘soft’ Ombre
affect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had there <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>been a dramatic change in colour or was it a
trick photograph?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-no-proof: yes;"><br /></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif";"></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif";"></span><span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif";">My belief (on
what occurred) is this:- Naturally, Cheryl has a very dark base, which requires
pre-lightening to display any multi-tones or ombre effects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whilst the public are familiar with Cheryl’s
softer caramel hues, they never get to see the stripped base shade which lies
beneath the deeper blonde (artificial) hair colour she always sports.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Cheryl posted the first Instagram shot,
it appears as though she was midway through her (regular) hair colour process
and had given us a little trick photography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, after this shot was taken, her usual medium blonde overlay
colour has then been applied throughout - to give her trademark softer effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was evident when she arrived at Heathrow
today.</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-no-proof: yes;">This method of creating a lighter foundation to overlay
a deeper blonde or soft brown shade is deployed by many celebrity colourists
when working with natural brunette bases .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is also a technique I have longed deployed with my own clients. So much so, that it inspired my product ‘Decolour Stripper’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 3;"> </span><u><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></u></span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-no-proof: yes;"></span></i>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Antique Olive Roman","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-no-proof: yes;">People often have the misconception those celebrities sporting
muted shades ranging from deep blonde, light brown and carmel have simply had just
one colourant applied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In actual fact, a
darker natural shade requires their base to firstly be lifted and the desired colour
applied as a tone on tone to just those lightened areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This method is known as ‘chamoflauge’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, you cannot deploy traditional
bleaching on hair you intend to recolour (chamoflauge) as it can cause the
cuticle to raise indefinately and fail to hold the (desired) shade you subsequently
apply to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whilst in some some
instances, using a traditional bleach can also cause that overlaid darker
blonde shade to grab and appear too dark or intense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, using a gentle, controlled
lightener helps to retain the quality of the hair and enables that subsequent
tonal colour (applied) to develop effectively and evenly throughout. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Grey hair was once deemed purely a sign of aging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, silver has today become a fashion
statement in its own right, with celebrities from Robbie Williams to Jamie Lee
Curtis deciding to embrace or enhance their natural grey. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Surprisingly, for those who not naturally grey – the path to
achieving the shade is perhaps the hardest feat a colourist has to contend
with. Natural grey and silver hair is formed by the interspersing of pure white
hair amongst the original (natural) shade. Initially observed as ‘salt
and pepper’, the more the previous pigmented hair turns white, the stronger the
silver shade becomes – as those white hairs increase in number on the
head. It’s actually the interspersion and mixing of the individual
white hairs amongst the original base which creates a grey look, therefore
achieving an artificial grey can be intricate. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></o:p></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When hair is lightened it will take on a pale yellow shade
which needs to be toned with a violet pigment to achieve white. In many
instances (where an artificial grey shade is desired) the hair will end up
looking blonde as opposed to silver. Whilst it’s more simplistic to
obtain a block silver - via lightening the whole head to platinum and using
higher amounts of silver toners - when a natural grey is sought the application
method has to be more delicate, introducing very fine bleach highlights which
are subsequently toned to silver, whilst leaving the surrounding natural hair
intact to create the salt and pepper effect. Applying any peroxide
based colourant or lightener onto the surrounding (non highlighted) natural
hair, will cause a warm hue to be displayed effectively reducing the overall
silver effect down to blonde. It must be understood, warm tones cannot
co-exist with silver tones – the two shades will battle it out for supremacy
and at best you will find the hair becomes a natural ash blonde.
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you are wishing to achieve a natural silver grey (at
home) on a previously dark base, the best approach is to use a highlighting
cap, pull a scattering of hair through this cap and then apply a bleach or
lightener before developing the hair to pale yellow. The
bleach or lightener must then be rinsed off the hair (with the cap still on)
and dried (again with the cap still). You then have to check the hair and
be 100% certain it appears as a pale yellow, if the shade looks deep yellow or
copper it will not tone to silver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
this instance, re-apply the lightener (to the hair still pulled through the
cap) and lift the shade up to the required level. If you remove the cap -
when the hair is still very warm toned - this warmth will intermix with your
natural base and be impossible to retrieve for re-lightening. Once
you are satisfied the hair is a pale yellow, apply (again with the cap still
on) your platinum toner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This toning
stage will turn the lightened hair to white. At the point you notice the
hair clearly toning and the warmth vanishing, you can remove the
cap. Once this process is complete, you should find your (overall)
hair appears to have cold highlights running throughout. However, moving
forward you must only cleanse with blue and violet based shampoos and alternate
your toning conditioner between a platinum and a product such as Cool Restore
Cool Ash – which has a silver base. This specific hair care regime will
continually keep introducing more platinum and silver tones into the lightened
hair, very soon the tone levels will exceed a pure white and begin appearing
silver. When achieving this method via a salon, the
toning stage can be made easier as a specific permanent colourant exists that
compromise of two cool tones, when this specific permanent colour is applied (to
newly lightened hair) it produces a metallic white that requires no subsequent
re-toning. Sadly – this particular shade is not featured in any of the current
retail colourant brands available in the UK. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For those who are naturally grey but have spent many years
covering the silver with permanent dark colour, the long term options for you
to sport a flattering grey are ultimately more simplistic. However, (and with
most) it’s the initial hurdle of transitioning from a permanent darker shade to
their natural silver that terrifies them. Whilst grey hair is
fashionable and acceptable – grey roots are not! Many women recognise
that transitioning to their natural grey is going to require months (if not a
year or more) to achieve. During this time they feel horrified at the
prospect of walking around with inches of grey roots against artificially
coloured ends. In addition, whilst I myself have become
known for home hair colour removal I have to explain why hair colour removers
will not reveal natural grey. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would love to be able to assure all you grey haired people
(longing to stop the colouring process) that simply applying a hair colour
remover will reveal your underlying grey – but it just won’t. When
grey hair is coloured with a peroxide based shade, two points occur.
Firstly, the peroxide in the colourant (developer) causes the white (grey)
hairs to take on a yellow tone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Secondly, many of the colourants on sale in today’s retail market will
also lift the natural (non grey) hair - exposing underlying warmth.
Therefore, when you remove the artificial colour you will not see your natural
grey, but instead a warm blonde. In fact, the process to transition to a
natural grey shade has to be undertaken similarly to the creation of silver in
non grey natural bases (and as outlined previously). </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For anyone who has a high percentage of natural grey and
wants to transition out of using artificial colour - without simply growing it
out and suffering the obvious root strap – I would suggest you undertake the
exercise via a salon. In general, you will need to accommodate around
three salon appointments over a period of several months. The key is to
introduce silver threads into the hair gradually as your old colour grows out;
these silver threads (when built up in the hair), will break up the grey root
strap, intermix with your previous dark and eventually take over the overall
shade. Whilst many salons (today) will only work with foils for
highlighting, I would still recommend (on occasions of transitioning grey) a
salon uses a highlighting cap. My reasoning for this suggestion is
exactly the same as outlined for the creation of artificial grey – you need to
be able to segregate the lightened threads and check they have lifted
sufficiently. With foils, it’s very difficult to weave out the same hair
again if the lightener did not lift this hair to pale yellow upon the first
application. However, if your salon uses a highlighting cap – they can
lift the hair, check it has taken to a pale blonde and if they feel the hair
(pulled through the cap) is demonstrating too much depth or warmth,
re-lighten. In addition, once the bleach is rinsed off and if the
hair pulled through the cap is pale yellow, the colourist can emulsify a silver
based tone on tone colourant directly into the segregated hair and it will immediately produce a
grey tone. The cap can then be removed and the new silver threads
intermix within the previous dark base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As I previously stated, UK salons (generally) do not like using highlighting
caps, however it’s crucial the threads being lighted are segregated during this
process, so subsequent lightening and toning can be applied to this
regionalised hair without risk of it effecting the surrounding dark base (which
is needed to produce the final grey effect).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">
I would then suggest every 6 to 8 weeks the above exercise is repeated in the
salon, introducing more silver threads into the hair via the cap and tone
method. Overtime, the hair will slowly begin to turn silver or grey
and you will eventually be able to stop having the grey highlights added and
just allow your natural silver shade to take over.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sadly not every person- who allows their grey hair to grow
in - discovers a shimmering head of bright silver. Most of us tend to go
grey (initially) around the front hairline. Therefore, the misconception
with many people is they have turned fully white (throughout) – because they
only observe the grey roots at the front of their head when looking in the
mirror. However, some of us are unfortunate enough to go (what I refer to
as) ‘badger grey’. Here you experience clumps of grey hair throughout an
otherwise dark base, usually with the front sections very grey, but the top and
the sides remaining dark. Intermixed with this (overall) dark base you
find thick wiry white hairs that are not particularly slightly. In
the past, I’ve had several clients who asked me to help them to transition to
grey (believing their whole head was white). However, as the months went
on I began to observe more and more dark in the new hair growing through. In
these instances you have two options. Option A: - you can begin the highlighting
method (as outlined above) whereby you continually keep adding bleach threads
which are then toned to silver. The negative to this method can be found
if you only have grey at the front areas – because you then flip the issue of
the white roots and begin discovering very dark roots start appearing in other
areas of the head. Option B: - is to work with what you have.
Therefore, if the hair at the front of the head is grey – you allow this to
grow through (with the outlined highlight method), but ‘dab out’ the white patches in the other
areas of your head with a dark permanent colour. Via this method, you
will achieve a rather dramatic and effective Mallon Streak. You will
actually find the upkeep of the patchy white hair fairly minimal but you will still
achieve the silver effect via the front (hairline) sections. </span></div>

<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes – there is one category who should really avoid allowing
themselves to grey. A deep true redhead will never achieve a silver shade
naturally. When the white hairs begin to appear, the redhead will have
too much warmth (in the remaining surrounding hair) to showcase a silver.
Instead, the hair initially becomes a quite flattering golden blonde, but will
eventually start to turn nicotine yellow (as more white hair
appears). In addition, natural redheads have a very warm skin tone
that tends to clash with silver and grey hair – causing the individual to
appear washed out. Therefore, if they are able to
artificially achieve silver or grey hair – it will look quite harsh on this
specific skin tone. As a general rule, redheads (as they age)
should allow the hair to become a softer (lighter) warm blonde, introducing
gold toned highlights. Lulu is an excellent example of this particular
colour approach. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">And maintaining grey?<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sometimes women (who artificially colour) yearn for the
simplicity of natural grey, believing absolutely no upkeep is required.
This isn’t strictly true. A negative to true grey hair can be its
tendency to turn either a steely or yellowy tone due to the purity of those
white hairs. Styling products, pollutants and general day to day life
will often dull pure white hair and cause it to lose some of its natural
brightness. Therefore, if you are considering going grey – you should
remember that a specific range of hair care products will be needed for you to
keep the shade at its optimum level. Grey and silver hair needs
shampoos, conditioners and styling products that contain a violet tone to
brighten as they work. The <em>White Hot Hair</em> range is an excellent selection
of products for this purpose. Designed exclusively for grey and white
hair, the items not only clean and condition but enhance silver shades and
prevent the hair becoming dull or yellow toned. </span><br />

<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><br /> Few people are as able to alter their physical appearance like Meryl Streep. However, the majority of us harbour a completely different hair personality to the physical image we project to the world. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">When I give my classes and 121 clinics, the area attendees find the
most fascinating (in addition to your hair colour season) is our hair
personality.<br /> <br /> As people, we tend to break into 6 very specific image & personality types. What we display on the outside i<span class="text_exposed_show">s
our physical image and how we see ourselves (on the inside) is our
personality. </span></span><br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="text_exposed_show"></span></span><br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="text_exposed_show">Few of us
share a completely balanced physical appearance and internal
personality. So whilst you might physically share
similarities with say Catherine Zeta Jones - inside (however) you don't
recognise this and instead relate to Cate Blanchett's appearance. In
this example, you may continually try to keep your hair neat,
short and fair - and never entirely realise why you are never happy with
it. It's not just a case of a hair look not suiting you, it's a case
of varying factors of cut, colour and style clashing with your
physicality. You may genuinely feel Jennifer Aniston's look works for
you - because it suits your personality, but on the outside are you physically near to Anne Hathaway? <br /> <br /> This is a very
detailed and complicated area. Firstly, it does not mean certain looks, cuts and colours are out. However, it does mean these looks, cuts and colours have to be
tailored and blended carefully and a degree of compromise accepted. I refer to this compromise as 'bridging the inner self with the outer self' and it takes quite a
while to establish a clients internal hair personality.<br /> <br /> So,
consider this factor when you next visit your salon. If you believe
every hairdresser wants to cut or colour your hair into a look you just do not like, remember - they are observing the external side of
you. They genuinely believe the hair look (they are suggesting) suits, the problem is - inside you feel it doesn't. Why? Because you are just
not that kind of hair personality. </span></span><br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /><strong>So start to think of the areas
you can harmonize the inner and outer self.</strong> <br />
<br />
Recognise what you display on the outside (bone
structure, face shape, hair type and colour) then acknowledge what you
keep leaning toward on the inside. If you are a dark eyed, deep toned
brunette who keeps longing for Nicole Kidman's shade (and women of
similar type), it's possible you have one internal hair image and a
completely different external one. When you begin to ponder this, you
might start to recognise 'hair issues' you've had in the past and why
they seem to crop up again and again.</span><br /></span><br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="text_exposed_show">Remember, a differing hair personality and external hair image does not mean looks you desire are immediately a no go.

<br />
<span class="userContent">Rollers are perhaps the best way to create shape and movement in the majority of longer
hairstyles. </span><br />
<span class="userContent">For a long time, salons would
deride the use of rollers, believing that blow-drying and heat curling
were<span class="text_exposed_show"> far better, however this generally
isn't true. Today, women are returning to using rollers and
understanding the benefits. So in this piece I will explain some Roller
Factors:-<br /> <br /> 1. The best way to achieve good effects from
rollers is to wet set with them. This means you wash the hair, towel
dry and roll. As the hair dries the temporary bonds (within it) will
re-affix and create a durable style. <br /> <br /> 2. With heated rollers,
the effects are also good - but any type of heat setting will not alter
as many temporary bonds as you would see from wet to dry. If you are
using heated rollers, you must make sure the rollers are 100% cool
before you remove them, otherwise the curl will be pulled out by the weight of the hair (as it drops) whilst the heat is still setting the curl in place.<br /> <br />
3. Good shape and movement (and ultimately curls) are only ever truly
created from rollers by strong tension when winding. Rollers must always be wound in smooth sections and pulled tight during the rolling. If you don't
work with sufficient tension the hair will drop as the temporary bonds will not be pulled into the new shape. <br /><br /> 5. Many
people use Velcro rollers as a 'roller set' item, but generally many
velcro rollers are just designed to give finished movement or volume
after blow-drying. For best effects using Jet Set and traditional (plastic)
rollers will give you stronger tension when winding and a firmer finished curl effect.<br /> <br />
6. Nobody realises this, but silicones and conditioning agents are the
enemy for any curl or style setting. Silicones are designed to
pull moisture into the hair, when this moisture hits set hair it will
cause created effects to start to drop out. Therefore, it's always
preferable to set on pre-clarified hair and avoid using a conditioner and instead use setting lotions and hairsprays which shield the
outside of the hair and work with the temporary bonds on the inside. <br /> <br /> 7. Many
types of (naturally straight) Caucasian hair are not great at holding
curl, particularly if the hair is very silky by nature. If you are
really wedded to big hair, movement and volume and have this particular hair type
you need to consider having a perm foundation. When hair is permed the (permanent) internal bonds in the hair will be altered. A curly
perm foundation in a silky (hard to curl) hair type will enable wet set hair to hold it's shape between washes (even if you go a week).
Remember, perms were actually created to allow women set - not
for the wash and wear perm looks they are now associated to.<br /> <br /> 8.
A hood dryer is the best item any Roller Setter needs to consider investing in. You can pick up a hood dryer in Argos for around £60.
However, the benefit to this item is an ability to wet set the hair, sit under the dryer and quickly dry the hair. The increased air (on
the hair) also gives far more volume and set longevity. <br /><br /> 9. If
you have compromised your hair with heat styling and chemicals and it's
feeling dry or damaged, switching your style regime to wet setting is
also another good option. If you can wet set maybe twice a week and
leave the hair to dry naturally (with the rollers in), you will not only
help the condition improve but also retain the style effect you want.
This method is particularly good for those with whole head bleached
hair - which has a tendency to snap and break when exposed to heated tools and blow-drying. <br /><br /> 10. If you like to wear big hair up styles, always set
the hair beforehand. Remove the rollers and vigorously brush the hair out. Once hair has been wet set you will find it moulds as you attempt to place it up - instead
of collapsing or breaking free from the hair pins.<br /> <br /> </span></span><br />

Here is a good example! This is a video from a college student who has
attempted to bleach a mannequin head's hair. Although she used 30
volume she did put the head under the dryer which would have cau<span class="text_exposed_show">sed the bleach to turn volatile.<br /> <br />
However (for those who have been lucky enough not to see or experience
this), the video shows you exactly what happens to hair when you over
bleach it. Bleach contains ammonia (which will swell the hair), coupled
with the peroxide strength the chemical will go into the hair and start
oxidizing (lightening out) the pigment. However, when the pigment is
gone, the bleach will then attempt to start oxidizing the keratin and
internal bonds. At this point the hair starts to dissolve and will turn
to a gum texture.<br /> <br /> Firstly, don't be so alarmed - generally it takes a
huge amount of lightening to get the hair to this point. However, you
need to remember that continual bleaching can make this happen. When I
hear people saying they "want to go from black to platinum in one go" - this video demonstrates what I am afraid of. Not to mention the damage it could do to
your scalp. Notice the bleached hair on the video clip looks fairly white. Obtaining white (without a toner)
means the Keratin protein has actually been bleached away (hence the gummy texture).
Keratin is yellow, so if you are lifting up - you should always see a
yellow hue to the hair, which needs subsequent toning (as the yellow coloured keratin protein is
still present in the hair). If you have got the hair to pure white from bleaching
alone be careful! With this in mind, never lift the hair to a pale yellow and think you haven't lightened enough and attempt to bleach again! The pale yellow means you have lightened enough and a subsequent bleach application will literally destroy your hair. Instead, when the hair has reached pale yellow it should be toned with a violet pigment. Violet neutralises yellow and create pure white. <br /><br /> Bleaching isn't necessarily dangerous, but
you should always remember it's not a colour - it's only removing from
your hair (not adding to it), so be careful how much you repeat the
process on the same hair and if your hair feels very dry or damaged,
never attempt to bleach it - as it will simply disintegrate. </span><br />
<br />
Remember, if you have bleached hair during any point of it's lifespan (and longer hair can be several years old), applying another bleach application may lead to over processing. Many people forget (if they have coloured over bleached hair) that under the dark colourant - the results from the previous bleach are still in place. Therefore, if you have coloured over bleached hair, you should always use a non peroxide or ammonia colour remover to take this shade out. After this point, a bleach or lightener can be applied to the subsequent (darker) growth (only) and a toner applied throughout to create a true blonde. <br />

This recent shot of Jessie J demonstrates her hair is growing back after shaving it for the cause of Comic Relief earlier in the year. However, it's also demonstrating a perfectly platinum shade<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span></div>
<span class="text_exposed_show"><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">

<br />
Few people know the only true way to immediately achieve platinum (white) is by lightening virgin (untreated) hair nearer the roots. When hair has been treated with a lot of colourants (in the past) and is longer in length to issues arise. Firstly, any remaining molecules in the hair slow down the lightening process and can leave the hair a peachy shade. Secondly, the hair nearest the scalp (roots) receives a significant amount of heat from your head - this boosts the lifting process. The mid and longer lengths do not receive this scalp heat - so a longer processing time and (often) stronger peroxide strength have to be used to lift the whole head to pale. On well worn and previously treated hair, this peroxide strength (coupled with the bleach) is the cause of the damage, as the hair fibres begin to weaken under the bleaching process. Virgin hair (nearer to the scalp), is much healthier and (due to the scalp heat) can be treated with a weaker peroxide strength. Therefore, the base shade lifts up evenly and with less risk of damage. If you then only apply a lightener to the new regrowth every 4 to 6 weeks, the hair will begin to grow through a pure platinum with far less damage then seen if you try to go to the shade in one go.<br />
<br />
<strong>You can never expect to see platinum from lightening alone</strong><br />
<br />
Platinum hair can only be achieved by toning after lightening. The hairs fibre (keratin) is yellow in colour. When you remove all the natural pigment by lightening - the final stage (you will see) is a 'brassy' blonde or pale yellow. This is because the cuticle layer (which is transparent) is displaying the exposed keratin inside the hair. Therefore, the hair must be toned with a violet pigment to neutralise this exposed yellow and counteract it to white. Yes, it seems strange but white is achieved by applying a violet pigment to a yellow. </div>

<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
<br />
Just remember, if you have longer hair and are considering attempting to go platinum from a very dark artificial colour, you won't be able to do it. You need to slowly reduce the depth in the hair (overtime) and then begin introducing highlights. When the highlights turn the hair blonde, you can then switch to a regrowth lightening colour and the hair will start to appear pure white. When you attempt to bleach artificially dark (long) hair in one go - it can be a total disaster - as the hair fibres will be compromised, the cuticle will become damaged and the hair takes on an unpleasant light orange shade you can neither tone nor shift with further blonde colour treatment. </div>

<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
<strong>But what if you have virgin hair?</strong></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
If you have short (virgin) hair - platinum is achievable in one step. If you have longer (virgin) hair, I would suggest you undertake the process over a month period - giving the hair three gentle liftings at a time and conditioning treatments in between. </div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
However, for those who are artificially dark, only try to go platinum very slowly over an extended period of time - the wait pays off in the end. </div>

<strong>And (finally) a note on Pastel shades</strong></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
Lastly, remember that nearly all pastel hues require a platinum base shade to display correctly in the hair. Therefore, if you are considering a pastel colour effect you need to 100% understand the principles of going platinum still apply to you. If you lift up a base shade to a muddy orange and then try to use a pastel colour, it will only act as a neutraliser and produce a strange earth tone blonde, brunette or auburn. You ultimately need to have that pure white base to get the soft pinks, blues and metallic shades which have become popular with pastel colouring. <br />

We recently commissioned a survey to find out thoughts and beliefs on hair colouring. One of the statistics revealed, is 6% of people believe Tomato Ketchup will 'strip out' green tone in blo<span class="text_exposed_show">nde hair (found after swimming). Is this true? The answer is both yes and no.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><u><strong>Why does blonde hair go green?</strong></u></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
Firstly, the misconception is exposure to chlorine will turn blonde hair green. This isn't true, in actual fact the green occurs in blonde hair due to oxidized metals found within the water - not the chlorine. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Preventing and resolving green hair</u></strong><br /><br />The best way to prevent blonde hair turning green in the first instance is to use a product which produces a barrier such as Philip Kingsley Swim Cap. However, if the hair has (already) gone green you simply need to remove the trace metals from the hair with a clarifying shampoo. Again, if you are on holiday and cannot find a clarifying shampoo - a local convenience store would certainly stock bicarbonate of soda and you can use this ingredient via the Bicarb clarifying method I outline here:- <a href="http://scottcornwall.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/clarifying-hair-and-silicone-damage.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://scottcornwall.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/clarifying-hair-and-silicone-damage.html</a><br />
<br />
<strong><u>So does Tomato Ketchup really work?</u></strong><br /><br /> Actually whilst tomato ketchup cannot strip the green from the hair (as people believe) it can neutralise it. In most cases, clarifying the hair (as outlined above) will remove the green from the hair easily, however if you are on holiday, discover green and want it gone immediately, locating a tomato ketchup sachet from a dining room, restaurant or fast food outlet is obviously very easy.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>How to use Tomato Ketchup on green hair</u></strong> <br /><br />To neutralise green with tomato Ketchup, firstly wet the hair and apply a small amount of regular white conditioner throughout. Then squeeze an equally small amount of the Ketchup into your hand and work through the hair to create a pink cream. Leave for 10 minutes and rinse out with cool water. Remember, the ketchup is only neutralising (and masking) the green - so look to clarify as soon as you can (or when you return home).<br />
Remember, the best solution to unwanted green blonde hair is to clarify, so if your hair is prone to turning green, make sure you pack a clarifying shampoo or even baby shampoo before you travel. Ideally purchasing a product such as Philip Kingsley Swim Cap (and taking on holiday with you) which will prevent the issue occurring. The latter product is especially worth using if you are a regular swimmer throughout the year anyway. <br /> </span><br />

Beach hair is a great look which can work for either day or nightime. It's obviously based on the texture naturally wavy hair will go when exposure to sea water has occured. However, if you have naturally straight or very silky hair - the look won't happen simply by applying salt water. The below how to is a simple method to achieve the look.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="userContent"><u><b>Here is a quick how to
for you that's pretty simple:-</b></u><br /> <br /> 1. Wash the hai<span class="text_exposed_show">r in a clear, simple or baby shampoo (you don't want the hair to be too conditioned for this one).<br /> <br />
2. Spritz the damp hair with sea salt spray (if you don't have sea

trying to smooth out the hair. The hair will feel quite course and
textured at this point - which is good. <br /> <br /> 4. Next take some
large sections of hair and plait to midway down. You should have around
6 plaits across your head, bound midway with the bottom lengths free.<br /> <br /> 5. Now take a straightening iron and clamp down along the length of the plaits to heat up. <br /> <br />
If you want a curlier beach effect, when you get to the free (bottom)
lengths twist the hair around in the iron and create a traditional curl
in this unplaited hair. You can do this by twising the iron or simply
winding the hair around the iron as you would a tong.<br /> <br /> 6. With
your plaits all heated and curls created in the bottom lengths, leave
the hair for around 20 minutes or longer if you wish.<br /> <br /> 7.
Finally, remove the bands from the plaits and use your fingers to break
up the hair. Shake the hair loose and if you wish, you can add a little
Argan Oil to the ends to give some shine.<br /> <br /> </span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16484555934370639772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732203165749956189.post-63134017952059402302013-08-03T04:27:00.003-07:002013-08-03T04:27:25.877-07:00Considering a Perm?<br />

<span>Perms are fantastic for creating
curl, texture and controlled foundation for styling. If you suffer
from hair which is prone to flopping and not holding a curl - changing
the hair's internal structure and memory w<span class="text_exposed_show">ill enable roller setting, blow-drying and general styling to hold in the hair between washes. <br /> <b><u><br /> Here are 10 facts you might not know about perming:-</u></b><br /> </span></span><br />
<span><span class="text_exposed_show">1. A perm uses a lotion which softens the keratin fibre in the hair
and breaks the interal structure (shape). When the hair is wound around
a tool (be it curler, rod or other) the shape of the hair will reform
to match the tool. A second lotion (a neutraliser) is then used to
affix the hair bonds in their new permanent shape (typically the curl).<br /> <br />
2. Traditional perms were created over 100 years ago, however their
purpose was to change the texture and allow the hair to be roller set or
styled without the result flopping or falling out. Women would never
be seen with their hair in it's wet perm state and would always set and
style. <br /> <br /> 3. It was hair icon Vidal Sassoon who created the
'wash and wear' perm in the late 1960's. When cutting a models wet
hair, he liked the wave and texture he was noticing (from the perm
foundation) and made the radical decision (back then) to not roller the
set the hair. This was the first time a perm foundation had been
displayed in the hair without it being set on larger rollers. <br /> <br />
4. In the 1970's the wash and wear perm became very fashionable and
women stopped roller setting their hair and instead went with loose
curly texture. By the mid 1970's Barbra Steisand's then hairdresser
(now producer) Jon Peters created the iconic bubble perm look - whereby
the perm was created on very small rods to create a tight effect, this
was the birth of the curly perm. <br /> <br /> 5. The tight curly perm
remained very popular into the mid 1980's, when Trevor Sorbie created
the 'Scrunch Dry'. Until this point it had been very difficult to
blow-dry curly perms without smoothing them out. However, Trevor
created a method of scrunching the curls in the hand (as the hair was
dried) and using hair mousse. Later diffusers would produce this same
effect. The scrunch perm allowed much looser perms to be produced and
was sported by many famous women including Madonna, Kylie Minogue and
Demi Moore.<br /> <br /> 6.<i> The negative misconceptions around perming
happened at this time, because along with scrunch</i></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>perms came heavy use
of both bleach and heat (to create the effects). No heat protection
products were available in these days and the hair began to look dry and
frizzy. The perception was the perm had caused this, but in most cases
it was the combinations of two many chemical and heat processes which
caused the hair to be compromised and in most occassions over bleaching.
</i></div>
<br /> 7. Whilst the desire for curly hair went out of fashion in
the 1990's (when straight looks begun to appear), many famous women
continued to use perm foundations to retain blowdries and curl sets as
the technical treatment had been used for decades prior. Julia Roberts
famous spiral perm in the 1990 film Pretty Woman was retained by many
women well into the straight hair era of the 1990's. <br /> <br /> 8. In
the 2010's, the issues women are now facing with their hair have gone
full circule and we are back to the principles of 1960's styling. Women
want volume, movement and roller set looks - but are finding these
looks do not hold.<br /> <br /> 9. Another unknown fact about perms, is
they should also be applied on very curly and unruly hair. Applying a
perm structure to naturally curly hair will create a smooth controlled
curl that can be washed and worn. The perm foundation often encourages
the hair to grow in a more unform hair pattern. <br /> <br /> 10. Perms
remain in the hair based on the length and size of curl. A loose body
curl could be expected to last in short hair for around 8 weeks, whilst a
long spiral perm will remain in the hair beyond 18 months.<br />
<br />
Despite popular misconception, perms are not scary, nor dangerous but they are often misunderstood (even by today's hairdressers). If you are considering a perm be it for wash and wear curl, beach wave, curl ombre or style retention you need to absolutely understand what look you are aiming for and then research the best type of perm method for you. <br />

<span class="userContent">If you are
quite dark (naturally) remaining a platinum blonde shade can sometimes
be problematic with the regrowth. Unless the bleach is expertly applied
to the new growth, if overlapping occurs (this is where the<span class="text_exposed_show"> bleach applied crosses onto the previously lightened hair), you can start to get quite noticeable breakage.</span></span><br />

You can ease up on the regrowth bleaching, by switching to a lightening
blonde colourant. Lightening blonde colourants are still strong, but
not to the degree of bleach. On dark natural bases, these products will
not produce a pure blonde - but a deep golden, however it will disguise
your roots and give your hair a few months rest to allow the previously
full head bleached areas to grow down.<br /> </span></span><br />

highlights pulled.</span></span><br />

<span class="userContent"><br /> <br /> This is a very quick tip and whilst not perfect does work! <br /> <br />
If you are showing (unwanted) very dark roots, you can blend them out
by spraying Batiste directly onto them. You need to spray the dry
shampoo <span class="text_exposed_show">quick close to the area so it
'powders' and then just rub it in. Go along your parting and where the
dark roots show most. It won't erase them entirely, but it will blend
them out. <br /> <br /> If you have a tonal hair colour (such as deep
blonde or red) you can use one of the Batistes coloured shampoos for the
same method. </span></span><br />

Sea Salt Spray is a great way to produce beach style hair, if you want
to know how to actually create the 'beach waves' check out my blog on
the subject here:- <br /> <br /> If you don't have any Sea Salt spray <span class="text_exposed_show">at hand, there is a quick method I can give you to produce it yourself and apply.<br /> <br /> 1. Simply put 1 tablespoon of table salt into a mug and pour in boiling water and stir to dissolve the salt.<br /> <br /> 2. Allow the salt water to cool and then pour into a small bowl.<br /> <br /> 3. Take either some kitchen roll or a new J cloth and absorb the salt water.<br /> <br /> 5. Apply to sections of your damp hair and comb through and proceed to your styling method.<br /> <br />
NB: You should always apply Sea Salt solution to clarified and non
conditioned hair. If the hair is conditioned there will be a barrier on
it and the cuticle will not raise to give the texture you want.</span></span><br />

What is Root Glow?</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This particular issue is one which shows up in many guises
and often perplexes people – especially with brunette shades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the hair has been coloured (either
immediately or several days later) the roots begin to glow a bright coppery or
red colour – especially in sunlight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many people cannot understand why this is happening and this isn’t an
issue that is confined to home colouring, in fact it happens with salon colours
too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the question is why does ‘Root
Glow’ happen?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my years involved with home colour removal, without a
doubt the highest examples I see of previous ‘Root Glow’ come from those who
have removed an artificial colour and exposed the base which lay underneath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From photographs, I can see the coppery
stripes running down the hair from previous colour applications to the roots –
where these areas have lightened more so (and kicked up red) than the rest of the hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
Why does Root Glow happen?</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Root Glow happens when hydrogen peroxide enters the hair
intermixed with a colourant, on the mid-lengths and ends the peroxide molecule
attaches to the colour molecule and a shade is merely deposited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the hair directly next to the scalp
(eg the roots) is exposed to a higher temperature during the process due to the
heat being released from the head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
additional scalp heat will boost the hydrogen peroxide (which is used in the
colour developer) and cause the natural hair (at the roots) to begin lightening
and ‘kicking up’ natural red tone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On occasions
even 3% (10 volume) peroxide (which is very low) can cause some degree of Root
Glow, however the standard strength used in colourants is 6% (20 volume) and
when this strength is applied to the roots (combined with the scalp heat) the
regrowth hair will begin to lighten by around three levels.</div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
</h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
Why do I sometimes see Root Glow more so several days after I applied my colour treatment ? </h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is due to a something known as 'creeping oxidation'. Peroxide by it's very creation, is basically oxygen infused into water. The process of oxidation (found in hair colouring and lightening) happens because a peroxide will want to revert back to water and the oxygen molecule will seperate from the water molecule. In this process, oxygen molecules begin attaching to other molecules in the hair (such as artificial colour molecules deposited). However, when peroxide is quite a potent strength (20 volume and beyond) it will seek to attach to natural pigment molecules, which causes them to expand and become transparent. This is how 'hair lightening' occurs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because peroxide is a volatile formulation, after a colour process (be it colouring, lightening etc) an anti-oxidation treatment needs to be applied to the hair. In fact, these ingredients would be found in the conditioning sachets of the hair colourant products you purchase. However, in some instances (and particularly at the roots which tend to receive less of these conditioning treatments when applied) a process called 'Creeping Oxidation' occurs. Basically, peroxide can stay active within the hair for 48 to 72 hours after application (unless anti oxidized). So if you did not correctly remove and condition that hair at the roots (following your colour), the hair will very slowly continue to lighten, hence why two days after your colour (or often the next morning) you can suddenly see Root Glow. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
Why is Root Glow more a problem for Brunettes than Blondes?</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fairer or grey natural bases, Root Glow doesn't tend to happen because there is less depth and red pigment within such hair types,
therefore when the root areas lighten – they do so quite cleanly and at the
same time accept the (new) artificial colour being added – so the result is a
shade as expected which is consistent and evenly deposited. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, on brunette hair - when the peroxide is accelerated
by the scalp heat (when applied as an intermixed colour) the lightening can
cause an issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hair goes through
several stages of lightening from red, to orange to yellow (in cases where
people are trying to go blonde).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, if a peroxide is applied to the regrowth of brunette hair and
this peroxide is boosted by scalp heat and able to lighten by three levels, what
occurs is the hair lifts into
the red level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hair lifted to the red
level will not hide well under an artificial hair colourant molecule and most
notably will appear to ‘glow’ through that colour molecule – especially when
daylight hits it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This glowing can
become significantly noticeable if a) a very high peroxide strength was used
with the colourant applied or b) you conducted your hair colour on a very warm
or hot day (which could cause a level or two more lift than you would normally
receive). Likewise, if the creeping oxidation was allowed to occur in the days that followed and the natural hair has continued lightening due to the peroxide molecules remaining in the hair. </div>

<h3 class="MsoNormal">
How to deal with Root Glow</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Root Glow in brunette shades can be a tricky one to deal
with because in order to cover it, you need to apply a second peroxide based
colour which (in turn) could cause the hair to lighten further and kick up more
red.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>If you have applied a brunette
shade and found your roots have turned a warm bright reddy shade, the best tip
I can give you is to purchase a product such as Clairol Root Touch up in a
shade only one level darker than the mid-lengths and ends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take the white cream developer bottle, make a
pen mark where the white developer (the peroxide) currently reaches and then
pour 50% of the developer away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next
take a bottle of mineral water and carefully top up the developer back to the
mark level you created.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Close the lid
and shake before intermixing as instructed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By diluting the developer you are effectively reducing the strength of
the peroxide down to a level whereby only the colour molecule could be
deposited and sit within the hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
you have intermixed the colourant, apply to the roots only and leave to
develop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What you should find is the
roots take on a slightly darker appearance and the Root Glow is covered.</div>

How to stop Root Glow </h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As stated, Root Glow tends to appear in naturally darker
bases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>The first rule of applying a hair colourant to
these shades it to use a tint bowl and brush and do not simply ‘pour’ the
colourant throughout the head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
should apply the colourant with a tint bowl and brush to the mid-lengths and
ends first, and then mid-way through development go back to the root areas and
apply here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will give the roots
less time to develop and prevent the scalp heat boosting that development to a
level whereby the root areas can begin lifting up from the peroxide applied. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>If you are selecting brunette shades and are
prone to Root Glow, avoid any shades with red or gold tone in them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These shades will contribute further warmth
to possible Root Glow and make the result (at the roots) appear more vibrant.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>If you like standard brunette shades, purchase
two colourants from the same brand and of the same base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, purchase a standard base shade (such
as 4.0 or 5.0) for the mid lengths and ends and an ash based shade for the
roots (4.1 and 5.1).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using your tint
bowl and brush initially apply your base shade (4.0 or 5.0) to your mid-lengths
and ends, then midway through development mix up your ash based shade (4.1 or
5.1) with your tint bowl and brush and apply to just the roots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This added ash tone will neutralise any
warmth that may appear at the roots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>5
minutes before the end of development, wet a tangle comb and intermix both
shades on the head for blending – before rinsing off.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">

<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>If you wish to retain a brunette shade, always
use an ash based colour (for standard brunettes) and apply just to the roots
using a tint bowl<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and brush and develop
for only 15 to 20 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you like a
warmer brunette shade, use a standard base shade (such as 4.0 or 5.0) and work with the natural warmth within the hair. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">

<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>If you are a redhead who is getting noticeable
Root Glow, try applying a 6.0 or 7.0 colourant to the roots only and giving it
a 15 minute development time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This could
add a degree of base back into the hair and mute down that glow without
covering the tone.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember, Root Glow is a common occurance in hair colouring
and (in my experience) is significantly increased in warm conditions when the
colourant is allowed to sit to full development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without a doubt the most notable time it
happens is when someone has ‘poured’ a colourant from the applicator throughout
their hair and gone to full development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Therefore, for new colours always remember to use a tint bowl and brush
and apply colour to the roots midway through your development process and not
at the beginning. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Always condition the roots well (after removal of the colourant) as this will help prevent creeping oxidation which can occur over 48 to 72 hours and evoke Root Glow after the event. </div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Partial
Removal with Decolour </span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you have found yourself with an unwanted darker colour,
it’s not always necessary to apply Decolour to the whole head and remove
everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actually, conducting a
partial removal can be a very effective way to reduce down the unwanted depth
and create a more naturalist shade whilst retaining some of that previously
unwanted darker colour.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Quite often, multiple colour applications will lead to build
up whereby the colour molecule has been overlaid many times on the same areas
of hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What begins occurring is the
hair starts to look heavy, flat and obviously 'too' dark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alternatively, you might decide to go a darker shade but
once you have developed your selected colourant the shade appears (on your
head) much heavier than it did on the box photo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You still want to be darker – just not so
dark.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Decolour Remover was created in a thick crème consistency to
prevent it from running throughout the hair when applied, this enables a
precision to application – meaning you can apply and remove specific (or
localised) areas only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
You also have to consider that natural hair colours (even the
darkest shades) consist of a mixture of varying depths, not every hair on our
head is the same shade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, when
you artificially colour darker you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</i>
transforming every hair to exactly the same shade, this is why an unwanted
darker colour result can appear so heavy and artificial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conducting a partial removal can re-introduce
that mixture of lighter and darker depths and create an effective hair colour
result quickly and easily.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What is
Partial Colour Removal?</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the partial method you mix and apply Decolour Remover
using a tint bowl and brush (or even toothbrush) to strips of hair throughout
the head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This application technique is known
as <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Balayage’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You do not need to worry about applying the
remover throughout the hair; you basically paint it onto sections of the dry
hair in a highlighting method and develop for 1 hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you rinse, dry and style the hair – you
will notice the original (darker) colour remains but you now have lighter
shards running throughout which produces a softer more natural effect.</div>

You must always clarify the hair before any type

conditioners and styling products can leave a residue on the cuticle layer
which produces a barrier which prevents colourant products from entering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wash the hair three times in a clarifying or

comb the hair and then proceed to blow-drying and styling it exactly as you
would generally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will find this
harder than usual because you cannot use conditioner or styling products.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must simply blow-dry the hair using water
only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you (typically) iron your hair
smooth, you can do this – but you must NOT use product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idea with this step is to create a
smooth, styled dry foundation to the hair which will enable you to apply the
Remover into areas that will be fully visible in your everyday hair look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have (and wear) your hair naturally
curly, all you need to do is leave it to air dry – before proceeding to the
partial removal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

</span></span></span>With your hair clarified, dry and fully styled
and sitting in its regular partings and shape - you can now mix up the Decolour
Remover in your plastic bowl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pour 50%
or bottle 1 and 50% of bottle 2 into the bowl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You can reseal each bottle and return to the box, in case you desire
further removal later on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fully intermix
the formula in the bowl using either your tint brush or purchased toothbrush. </div>

</span></span></span>Now take your tangle comb and weave out thin
sections of hair, starting at the under areas (sides and back).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dip your tint or tooth brush into the
Decolour Remover and gently cover the section you have pulled out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will not need a great deal of product –
just enough to cover and work into the section.</div>

</span></span></span>Once you have applied the Remover to random
underside sections, you can begin covering thin sections at the top of the head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you get to the hairline and parting
sections remember these areas will be visible, so weave out much thinner
sections to cover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take an artistic
approach to the method at the partings and around the hairline and remember
this colour will be framing your face with lighter and darker shards, so you
can vary the width of the sections you weave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As a general rule, stay to super fine sections around the face and
hairline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

</span></span></span>Remember, you do not want to saturate your hair
in Decolour Remover; you just want to see a clear mix of coated shards
throughout the dry styled hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
you have applied the Remover as outlined above leave it to develop for 1
hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this type of development, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do not want you to cover the hair in cling film
as it will ‘squash’ the remover into other areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple leave to develop uncovered. </div>

</span></span></span>After you have developed for 1 hour, proceed to
rinsing and Concluding the Decolour treatment as instructed in the pack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

</span></span></span>Once complete, you can now dry and style your
hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In most cases you will find the
previously dark heavy hair has reduced to a very natural shade that features a
mixture of lighter and darker tones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, if you still want to reduce the colour further, you can repeat
the exercise again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A second partial
removal application is incredibly easy, because here you actually see the unwanted
darker sections and can focus just here.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>CURL STAYING POWER
</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With a definite trend for curling hair and volume back in,
one of the biggest issues many women face when curling is the fact that shortly
after the curls are created, they begin to drop out of the hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whilst many techniques and products exist
for style retention, the issue of curl flop still resides with most.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here I will try to explain why this happens
and the methods which can be deployed to resolve it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Understanding temporary
curl </u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A temporary curl is created in the hair when the internal hydrogen
bonds are broken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These bonds are broken
whenever moisture comes into contact (eg when the hair becomes wet) and these
same bonds will reform when the hair dries and as oxygen enters the hairs
fibres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, a curl (or any
style) result can be achieved by moulding the hair around a tool during this
drying phase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, heat will also
reset these temporary hydrogen bonds, hence why curls can be created from
tongs, irons or heated rollers.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, certain hair types are naturally very rich in
keratin and will tend to draw moisture from the atmosphere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A general rule is the silkier and softer the hair
(naturally) is, the harder you will find it to hold a curl, whilst the courser
and drier hair (naturally) is, the easier a curl or shape will retain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is due to the fact that if the hair
readily accepts moisture and hydration from the atmosphere those temporary
bonds will just revert back to their natural shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, drier or courser hair types which (readily
crave moisture) will not suffer this issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ironically, this can be why naturally curly hair will hold a (set) curl pattern
very well – because (in general) curly hair can lack moisture, hence why it becomes
dry so easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

If you are a definite sufferer of curl flop, these below
pointers should be able to help you retain your curl, volume and style:-

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
If you wish to create a curl in straight or
silky hair that will typically not retain it, avoid all conditioners and even
conditioning shampoos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of these
shampoos and conditioners contain polymers and silicones that draw moisture
into the hair to enable it to retain softness, therefore hair that is treated
with either a rich shampoo or conditioner will tend to suffer curl flop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, you need the hair to be a slightly
drier texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using a clear or simple
shampoo and then following with a sea salt spray will cause the PH of the hair
to rise and the cuticle to open slightly making the texture feel rougher.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This drier texture will help retain a
curl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For hair that is very stubborn to
curl retention (and particularly silky), try mixing two tea spoons of salt into
a mug of warm water and rinsing it through your hair for additional (temporary)
dehydration.</div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Whilst probably 80% of people still use
heat curling methods, the use of heat to create a curl in dry hair is never as
long wearing as setting the hair on rollers or a curling tool from wet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The internal hydrogen bonds will reset to
their most effective level when the hair is wound from wet because at this
point the hair holds additional elasticity which will stretch the hair and
cause a tension that will form stronger bonds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Whilst a good result can be achieved by allowing the hair to set
overnight or (generally) air dry, by far the best method is to use a hood
dryer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A hood dryer blasts warm air
across the head and causes an even, quicker and more effective long term curl
result – even in the most stubborn of straight textures. </div>

HAIR’. </b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Using any silicone based serum or product
is lethal for naturally straight hair wishing to retain a curl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As stated, silicones are used in products to
draw moisture into the hair, therefore if you create or finish a curl with a
silicone based product it will increase the likelihood of curl flop (over time)
because that moisture is being drawn into the hair which can cause the bonds to
reset back to their natural pattern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
addition, a second misconception is the use of curly hair products to create or
retain a temporary curl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These products
have been designed for naturally curly hair which is typically dry in texture
and needs moisture to form the natural curl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If someone with very straight silky hair uses such products they will
find (once again) the curl will begin to drop, as although their hair may be
temporarily curly they do not have a naturally curly hair texture that would
benefit from the product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In general,
setting lotions and hairsprays such as Elnet should be used to style straight hair that is
not readily willing to hold a curl. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">PERM IT </b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
The biggest misconception about perms is
they are only capable of creating those scrunchy looks as seen in the 1980’s –
this is untrue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Traditionally, cold
perming was created 100 years ago because women had suffered for centuries with
the issue of curl retention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chemicals
found in the traditional cold perm work by breaking the permanent disulphide bonds
within the hair and changing its shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If the hair is left to dry naturally (once permed) it will have a curly
or permed look, however the point of perms was not actually for the famous ‘wash
and wear’ look, but actually to enable the hair to be set (as normal) on
rollers or moulding tools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When permed
hair is curled or set, the temporary hydrogen bonds (which create the style
look curls) will hold in place without dropping because those parallel disulphide
bonds have been permanently changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, a perm foundation in very straight
hair will enable you to wash and set or curl your hair but retain volume,
movement and shape without fear of flopping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>My
only word of warning on perming is that it is not compatible with bleached
hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In bleached hair the permanent
bonds have already been weakened and the hair will not withstand a second
process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However (and in my experience),
bleached hair will often hold a curl better than natural hair because it has a
slightly drier texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only
exception to this is damaged bleached hair which has lost its elasticity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When hair is very damaged it becomes
difficult to create any curl or shape in the hair as the structure has begun to
deteriorate.</div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
If you are passionate about sporting curls
and movement as part of your everyday style and look, reduce the amount you
wash your hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spending time washing
and then setting the hair to dry (especially with a perm foundation), will
create effective, durable and long lasting curls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, if you wash your hair everyday it
will just not be possible to retain this level of hair upkeep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, washing maybe twice a week and then
using a dry shampoo daily will clean the hair but retain the style. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because dry shampoos contain no moisture
ingredients they will not unrest the temporary hydrogen bonds – therefore, you
can clean the hair without needing to wet it. </div>

Remember, these above pointers are designed for individuals
with straight hair who suffer curl flop soon after styling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
principles are somewhat different for those who have naturally curly or wavy
hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Following on from my piece about going platinum, it would be
unfair of me to tackle the opposing issue – ‘light out’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is an occurrence whereby someone has
permanently coloured their hair blonde and discovered the result to be a garish
artificial light colour they just didn’t want nor expect - unless they were
going for the Draco Malfoy look! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most common reason ‘Light Out’ happens is seen when
someone (who usually goes to the salon for highlights) decides (for whatever
reason) to tackle their regrowth at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They select a light blonde colour, but do not realise the roots will
lift up quite significantly and the darker (non- highlighted) areas will also
lift to create an overall light blonde shade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In addition, this shade is often brassy or yellow due to the levels of
natural darker colour which were still present in the hair upon the application
and lifting of the colour.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Light Out’ is actually a very easy issue to rectify quickly
and requires a principle of attempting to duplicate the look of a natural
blonde. In general, natural blondes will not have one block hair
colour, the base tends to be an 8.0 (light blonde) which will then lift with
the sun and become a multi-tonal shade. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Therefore, if you have found ‘Light Out’ in your hair,
follow these simple principles:-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CLARIFY THE HAIR </b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Home colourants contain conditioners in
their final stage which will close the colouring session and put a seal on the
hair to allow the new shade to settle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you want to rectify a colour result, you must immediately clarify the
hair to remove this conditioner and re-open the hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you do not do this, a subsequent treatment
applied may sit on the hairs surface and not work effectively. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CREATE YOUR BLONDE ROOTS <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
This tip may seem incredible, but a natural
blonde does not have even lightened hair up to the scalp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To eradicate the ‘Light Out’ look you are
going to have to create natural blonde (looking) roots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this technique you buy a base shade
permanent colour of an 8.0 level and apply it only to the root area (not the
mid-lengths and ends).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must use a
tint bowl and brush to do this and the best product I can recommend is Clairol
Root Touch up Medium Blonde 8.0.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On dry
hair (only), you must apply the colourant to just your pale root areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your roots appear coppery pale blonde, go
with a cool based 8.0 shade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After you
have applied the colourant (to just the root areas), you can pick out very fine
strands of hair and colour them (downward) throughout some random sections
across the head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will create additional
depth in the block blonde colour and take away the artificial look. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">TONE </b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
The hair will also need to be toned (after
creating your natural blonde roots as outlined in point 2).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can use Colour Restore Iced Platinum to
create an even crisp blonde (and remove yellow) or if you just have mild yellow
tone wash the hair several times in a blue shampoo such as Lee Stafford
Bleached Blonde. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">BATISTE IT! </b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
If you don’t have the time to deepen your
regrowth and tone, an immediate quick tip for ‘Light Out’ is to reach for
Batiste medium and brunette coloured shampoo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you lightly spray this dry shampoo into your lightened out root areas
plus along and within the length of your hair, it will create a shadow effect
and disguise the block blonde result and instead create a more natural blonde
look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This tip is particularly good if
you intend to go to your salon and get the hair colour corrected or if you just
don’t have time to rectify it yourself on the day of your home colour application.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Above all, if you have found your hair has lightened out due
to home colouring, you must act quickly and within 10 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you leave it for longer than 2 weeks, you will begin to get a very dark root strap appearing and you
will need to either lighten this out or go darker to disguise it.</div>
However, if you rectify the unwanted blonde shade quite soon
after you achieved it, the additional depth you subsequently apply to the hair (as
outlined above) should reduce the appearance of the subsequant root strap and you can either continue using
your previous method to retain blonde or simply apply a medium blonde (8.) hair
colourant to the new regrowth to lift it to a shade which matches the 8.0 shade you applied to cover the 'Light Out'. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>

<i>Platinum hair has become one of the biggest must have shades
of 2013, a direct contrast to the more naturalistic Ombre and in keeping with
the inspired looks from the 1960’s and 1980’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<i>However, achieving Platinum is not a task that can be approached without
some trepidation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my experience,
Platinum hair is grown in and not obtained in one hit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should a darker base (be it natural or
artificial) attempt to achieve platinum in one process they could at best find
they have buttery tresses that won’t tone or (at worst) find their hair going
into melt down, breaking and refusing to budge from a deep orange!</i></div>

10 Tips for achieving Platinum Blonde safely and effectively</u></b></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
If you currently have an artificial
(darker) colour, use a hair colour remover to take this out, before attempting
to bleach the hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hair with artificial
colour molecules sitting within it - will not lighten to pale evenly or
effectively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should ideally wait 4
weeks from removal of the artificial colour to the first lightening stage, this
allows your hair optimum time to normalise and gain strength.</div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Unless you are currently a medium to light
blonde, do not expect to achieve platinum hair in one session.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For darker blonde to brunette bases, view platinum
as a long haul transition and start by introducing highlights into the
hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These should be built up over
several months to lift the overall base. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
The best result found for achieving a pure
platinum shade is when a lightener is applied to regrowth hair only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Virgin regrowth hair will lighten evenly and
quickly because it is so close to the scalp and the heat emitted by it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, existing blondes should consider
switching to regrowth lightening and opt out of foils if they intend to go for
a long term platinum result.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
A natural Darker base is by far the hardest
to achieve platinum in, it can be done, however you will need to firstly (and
slowly) reach a new mid-blonde base via highlights and then start to lighten
out the regrowth every four weeks or so as it grows through. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eventually
this pure regrowth will overtake the remaininder of the hair and begin displaying a platinum depth. </div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
During transition to platinum, using Pastel
toners can give the hair an interesting/on trend effect and hue which will blend with darker
areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the desired level of
lightening has been achieved (over time) you can stop using the pastel shades
and begin to tone platinum throughout. </div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Restrict heat usage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lightened hair is very vulnerable and it will
not withstand regular high heats in the manner non lightened hair can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use of excessive heat could cause breakage in
platinum and transitional platinum hair. </div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Use a product such as Philip Kingsley Elastizer
at least once a week to prevent breakage and after wash items such as Redken
Anti-Snap.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>If
you are dead set on achieving a pure platinum, do not give up midway and colour
dark if you feel there is a chance you will change your mind (again).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bleached hair can often stain when darker
permanent colours have been applied and once you do this, it will be unlikely
you could recover a clarity from the shade via removal. </div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Remember, platinum hair is very high
maintenance and for best results, regular regrowth should be conducted in a
salon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you wish to do your own
regrowth, ask a trusted friend to apply the lightener carefully to the new hair
once every four to six weeks using a tint bowl and brush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any overlapping of the product onto
previously lightened hair could cause breakage.</div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
There is no such thing as Platinum Blonde
Hair without a toner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hair is naturally
yellow in colour (due to the Keratin Protein).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Therefore, lightened hair will only ever achieve a pale yellow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A violet based toner must be applied to newly
lightened hair to neutralise the yellow and create white.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using Colour Restore Iced Platinum
immediately after each lightening treatment will keep the shade pure white and
healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lastly, all the above principles also apply to those who
wish to have pale pastel pink and blue colours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The hair has to be white in order for the applied tone to display. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Be sensible and approach this hair colour wisely and you
will find in time you will achieve a pure platinum shade without risk of high
copper tone or damage. </div>

<b>Q: I've coloured my hair violet beautiful colour but every time its washed it ruins my towels and bath x</b><br />
<br />
A: I've had that happen to me lots of times. The solution is basic but simple, it's worth going to somewhere like Matalan and just buying black towels for you to use on only your hair. Fashion colour doesn't bleach so if you use black towels it will wash out. Cheers Scott<br />
<br />
<b>Q: My hair was bleached (foils) and I put an all over v dark brown with red and it's gone black. How can I lighten it a few shades?</b><br />
<br />
A: Use Decolour Remover on it, but apply to damp clarified hair and comb it through for only 10 minutes until it starts to reduce the colour down. Then rinse it out. That should work well for you. Cheers Scott<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Hi Scott, I've just had my hair cut to my collar bone, and as I've been poorly it's been falling out a bit. I want to style it into big bouncy 50's style waves, but don't want to use tongs or straighteners... Any ideas? Thanks! </b><br />
<br />
A: Go to my likes on the Facebook page and look for 'Pin Up' this site gives tips and hints as to how to achieve sets with standard rollers and setting lotions. This would be what you are looking for. Kind Regards Scott<br />
<br />
<b>Q: I have long red hair with a fringe and need an idea for a updo as I always wear it down and straight! Hope you can help x</b><br />
<br />
A: I can give you a quick tip. If you pull all your hair into a ponytail very securely. Once in the ponytail, split the hair in three (as if you were going to do a plait) and neatly wrap one of the sections around the stem of the ponytail and secure with a grip. You should now have a ponytail coming out of the wrap area. Now take this ponytail and neatly wrap it in a round bun around your hand and curl under and secure firmly from the inside. What you should find is you have a very swish up do, that has a roll around the front and a roll going under. It should only take a few minutes to do. Kind Regards Scott<br />

<b>Q: Hi Scott ive dyed my hair alot ALOT of the yrs been all sorts of colours recently went bk brunnette from bein blonde bt my hair just will not grow i had 2 inches off afew months ago n its sitting on shoulders n i hate it! ive got lee stafford growth shampoo n conditioner,usung hot oils got argon oil n just straightening it as much just want my long hair bk is there anything else i can do? ive got clip ins too bt want my own hair long asap! X</b><br />
<br />
A: You could take a supplement like Viviscale and Cod Liver Oil this would help it grow. As you said the other alternative is to wear clip in extensions to add more length whilst you are wanting the hair to grow. The key is to take supplements and preserve the hair as it grows, so too much heat and chemical treatment will cause it to split, I think you are on the right track. It does take a while for the hair to appear to be getting length again. Regards Scott<br />
<br />
<b>Q: I have long straight hair and i want to give it some body and curls. I can't seem to curl back of my head when curling can you help</b><br />
<br />
A: You might be better off trying to wet curl the hair and using a hood dryer to set it. These curls will last much longer and you get more body with it. If you rolled the hair on smaller rollers (from wet) and sat under a hood dryer for around about 40 minutes, the hair will get volume. Also, its easier to roll the back of the hair with rollers than to try and do it with a tong or irons. Kind Regards Scott<br />

<b>To create your Side Bun all you need to do is...</b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Brush out your hair thoroughly and gather all hair neatly, but directly behind either your left or right ear. </li>
<li>Using your hair band create a secure side ponytail. For the most effective results, create a strong sweeping side parting across the forehead and use a little hairspray to secure the ponytail and side parting as you create it The top areas of your head should be sleek and neat.</li>
<li>Now take your Feleny Georghiou hair scrunchie and just as you would a regular scrunchie, wrap it around the stem of the ponytail (again securely). </li>
<li>Next, split and take large sections of your ponytail and begin twisting and stuffing this ponytail hair underneath and around the hair scrunchie. Use the flat metal wavy grips to pin these wrapped and rolled ponytail sections very securely underneath the scrunchie hair, so no ponytail hair can fall loose.</li>
<li>Continue dividing up and wrapping, stuffing and securing all your ponytail hair in this way until you have a very firm and full bun at the side of your head.</li>
<li>Using either a pencil or the tail of a comb, very gently dig in and start to loosen the secured hair, do not ‘pull’ the hair out too far but just enough to create a textured and tousled effect.</li>
<li>Mist the bun with hairspray and secure with a few more flat wavy grips if you feel any loose areas. </li>
</ol>
