HAIR | The Dove Colour Radiance Live Challenge






As I said in my last post I have taken up the Dove Colour Radiance Live Challenge. The lovely people at Dove invited me up to the Salon at Dove HQ where they pampered me to death!
Firstly their HQ is amazing, it was an early start for me, but when I arrived they had fresh fruit, croissants and juice waiting for everybody! There were 5 or 6 of us being treated to a professional colour. We all had our 'before' shots taken and then met our hairstylists. The plan for my hair was to do my roots and balance out my ombre hair so there wasn't such a contrast between the top and bottom.
While the colour was in my hair I was also treated to a lush lilac manicure and a couple of glasses of Presecco (so glad I chose to train it instead of drive!). My hair was then washed out, blow-dried and left in curlers before it was styled for my 'after' photo. All the photos and video footage from the day will be posted on the Dove facebook page later on this week! I absolutely love my new hair, it looks so much softer than before and I like the subtle transition between the two colours.
Now for the challenge I will be testing the whole of the Dove Colour Radiance Live range* for four weeks and sending them five photos a week to see how well it keeps my colour. I will keep you guys up to date as to how it is going and will introduce you to each product as I use them.

HAIR | My Ombre Hair


These aren't the best pictures, I hope to get some better ones in the next few days! The look is growing on me. I was so desperate to get Ombre hair, but has taken a few days to get used to it as it is such a drastic change.
I have the front bits tied up as the fade starts a bit too high, but that won't take long to grow out. In the next few weeks I might get it darkened up a bit as I feel it may be too light, but I will see how I feel about it in the next few days. Also they couldn't lift the colour as much as I wanted so in places it does look a bit ginger.
On the plus it means I can put some crazy colour on it, we shall see. 
If you would want something not permanent, there are available human hair extensions you can ombre dye, or there are also available already in ombre color, with this, you can check: http://humanhairextensionsonline.com.au/

Let me know what you think.

Have a good weekend :)

HAIR | Hair today, different tomorrow

As some of my Twitter followers already know, tonight I am getting Ombre hair. I have been loving the summery feel of the look and the possibility of getting some colourful bits on the ends. Last summer I embarked on 30 days of no heat  and after nearly a year of improving the condition of my hair and growing it out, I feel that it is in good enough condition to dye it.
Where in the past I would have done it myself (hence all the damage in the first place!), my colleague who is a hairdresser will be doing it for me at her home (saving me the crazy salon prices). The photos above are the images I have given her to show the look I want. I will post the finished look over the weekend. Let me know what you think :) Many of these celebrities uses human hair extensions to instantly get the look, for quality human hair extensions, visit: Human Hair Extensions Online.
