Colours
Natural glows are the new craze. Adding lighter variations on a classic brunette demonstrates a technique that is a catching trend for 2014.
Champagne blond with a tinge of icy silver highlights
Warm reds are best suited for honey skin toned completions
Lighter reds for cooler skin tones
Caramel tones through hair with different variations of darker and lighter shades express character and personality. Clearly evident through the emphasis in colour differences, that it’s a stylish and fashionable look. Going darker the top to create depth is a favourite colour trick of mine at the moment
Kim Kardahian hair: The hairstyle the changes from very dark to very light, is best suited for medium to long hairstyles. Showing off its dramatic difference in colour gives it a stylish and trendy finish.
Keratin Treatments
Keratin Treatment gives you straight, shiny, healthy, frizz-free hair that is easy to manage, without the harmful effects of harsh chemical straightening solutions. Formulated in Brazil in state-of-the-art laboratories, the creators of Keratin Treatment bring you a product that leaves hair up to 80% straighter for up to 4 months. Keratin Treatment is a semi-permanent treatment that leaves hair soft, healthy and straight, with enough natural texture to still achieve body in the hair when blow dried or styled.
The beautiful effects of Keratin Treatment will work on any type of hair. This treatment is absolutely perfect for dry, brittle, coloured hair but also adds an infusion of straightness, shine and health to anyhair type whether it is frizzy, curly, short, long or even previously chemically treated hair.
Hair Extensions
Tape weft extensions are semi permanent and very quick to apply and Christopher uses this technique for extending hair length. Tape hair extensions are applied quickly and easily. The pre taped weft of hair is typically sandwiched on either side of the natural hair. Results are seamless. The best part about using tape extensions:
No heat needed when placing extensions in hair.
Uses latest technology – designed especially for tape hair extensions.
Highest quality hair
Holds for over 6 weeks
Do not need to wait for bond to set before you can wash hair
Waterproof and transparent
Can wash your hair and extensions in very warm water – the heat will not soften the adhesive of tape.
Oils and conditioners will not weaken bond.
