The Colour Series with Gilly Parry : Bright and Pastel Coloured Hair

WHAT TO ASK YOUR COLOURIST FOR TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK?

This look looks a lot easier than meets the eye Kelly plays around with differnet shades of Lilacs and purples creating a 'youthful-granny' or 'nanna-chic' look which looks amazing on her.

Ask you colourist to play around with different pastel shades to create two tone tie dyed look. Fading the both tones into each other for a fun gradual shading. Your hair will need to be super blonde almost white as a base to get the paleness of the greys and soft lilacs to really show up.

TIP - To keep this looking pretty and achieve the Grey and lilac toned washed out look you can always top up with a granny rinse (magic silver white - google it!) at home this will keep your lilac hues in tip top condition before you need to polish at the salon.

TIP – The more you do these colours the more your hair recognizes the pigment and the longer the colour will last.

WHAT TO ASK YOUR COLOURIST FOR TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK?

Who doesn’t love a little candy pink in their life!!! NO ONE - that's who.

This look is so easy on Bleach or heavily highlighted hair, but if you do not have lightened hair to start with then you will have to jump into the bleach pool. Think of it as a white wall with the Bleached Or highlighted hair that you want to decorate for the weekend, with your pastel of choice.

Just simply ask for an all over candy colour … 

To get the right shade and colour for you make sure you ask a professional, although this colour looks super easy it is extremely hard to get an all over even look. 

Pink also washes out in a couple of shampoos so it's great for a commitment phob.

WHAT MAINTENANCE WOULD THIS COLOUR TAKE?

If you love your colour and cant afford to go to the salon for regular top ups there are many products on the market that can keep you topped up until your next salon visit. 

Tip - Add your desired colour to a white based conditioner to dilute the colour making it more pastel, if you are trying a home dye job.

WHAT TO ASK YOUR COLOURIST FOR TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK?

Ask your colourist for Dip dyed ends, this is a version of balayage.

If you havn’t got blonde hair already then you need to get the ends bleached out first, it creates a blank canvas for the blue to sit on… 

WARNING - If your hair is not extremely blonde and your hair colour is a yellow-toned blonde, there is a chance that your hair will go GREEN!!!!  Could be fun though.

TIP –  Jaime's hair is quite severe with the blue starting above her ear. For a more proportioned look Balayage is generally added from below the ear for this fashion look, this give balance and definition to the face and the proportions are much more flattering.

Kate Bosworth rocks the blue  This is a cooler softer approach to dip dyed ends with a soft gradual finish which to the ends - if you are after this look then definitely mention to your hairdresser that you are wanted a faded look rather than bold colour. Be Sure to get a colourist whom understands all this balayage stuff!!

WHAT MAINTENANCE WOULD THIS COLOUR TAKE?

To keep this colour you would probably have to re colour on a weekly to two weekly basis, although you can have fun with the hair fading as it will take on different pastel shade which can be super cute.

The Colour Series with Gilly Parry : BLONDES

The Colour Series is a collaboration with the lovely and very talented Sydney based Colourist, Gilly Parry. It is often very confusing and frustrating when talking to your hairdresser about colour, not all of us are versed in the secret language of T-Sections, High & Low lights or Balayage? Each week will feature a different hair colour : Blondes, Redheads, Asian-tones, Pastels and Brights & Brunettes! Gilly will give you the low-down on what to ask for when taking the colour plunge and also how to maintain your new do, with tips to keep your new locks looking lush and save you time and money when visiting the salon!

WHAT TO ASK YOUR COLOURIST FOR TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK?

Elle fanning is a simple case of the Classic Highlight. This classic technique has taken a back seat with Balayage taking the spotlight recently. When highlights are performed with love and technical care by a well educated colourist the classic highlight should never be underestimated.

TIP - It’s really important to ask for a couple of different blondes to create depth, shine and a natural.

Full Head Highlights : Covers all areas of the hair 

Half a head highlights : This covers the area you see PLUS the middle parts of your hair creating more colour and colour bulk.

T- Section : Top section of your hair where is visible if you were standing above someone or tying your hair back. 

Gloss It : If you don’t have the time for highlights its also a great idea to pop in for a toner in between sessions this can lift the colour and add a couple of weeks to your next appointment .

TIP - Alternate the above - This saves money and time in the chair.

WHAT MAINTENANCE WOULD THIS COLOUR TAKE?

To achieve this heavily coloured blonde you would need to book your appointments every 6-8 weeks. Regular top ups this would help build up the blonde and also keep your roots at bay. To make this more cost affective you wouldn’t need to do a full head of highlights every time you could alternate it with.

WHAT TO ASK YOUR COLOURIST FOR TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK?

You can really alternate this look with Half a head of highlights to soften and lift you roots and ask for balayage through the ends to create that heavy ended look 

WHAT MAINTENANCE WOULD THIS COLOUR TAKE?

This look is super easy maintenance and depending on the look you want you i.e. if you like being lighter and are a blonde addict you can come in when you like, or let your natural colour grow out to create an effortless fuss-free look. Otherwise you can leave this look for up to 6 months but ideally to keep yourself looking groomed go for top ups every 3 months.

TIP: In between colour appointments have a 'Gloss Tint' for an instant pick me up . 'Gloss Tint' is a less abrasive semi-permanent colour which lifts existing colour and gives your hair a bit of a treatment at the same time.

WHAT TO ASK YOUR COLOURIST FOR TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK?

This is a full on Bleach and tone of your entire head. For the first time achieving this it would be ideal if the hair had not been coloured before and virgin hair. It would be a huge job the first especially if your hair is long. So be sure to leave a lot of time and explain to your Colourist when making your appointment what you are looking to do and achieve so ample time is left.

WHAT MAINTAINENCE WOULD THIS COLOUR TAKE?

To up keep this look you would need to be in the salon every 4-6 weeks .

It is important not to leave it longer than this as you will get nasty colour bands in the  hair .

TIP: Before you undergo such a major bleach job make sure to patch test the bleach and toner on the back of your neck behind your ears - You are looking at approximately 3-5hours in the chair with bleach or tone on your skin, so you want to make sure you aren't prone to a reaction. Also treatments on coloured are a must for healthy hair soft hair!

BLEACH IT OR DYE!
