Ombré Marathon

If I would still have my long hair, I would defenitly have ombré hair!!

I think colorist will prove me right when I say that this trend is one of the most long lasting trends, it's been here the past summer and will still go on this year... Here in Belgium the trend started kinda late...

The reason why a trend like this can last so long, is because of its variety...

Ombré hair can be done very slightly graduated  like, you "had an awesome summer last year" and your hair has naturally lightened..,

to big contrasts in 4 or more levels tones, 

or even in vibrant fashion colours....

This technique goes with long hair to quit short hairstyles too,

it's also a nice way to have a level of colour that, maybe doesn't really suit your skin tone, but combined with the second tone it works your hairdo...

 *some pictures of Ombre Hair coloured by me:

here you have a very natural effect of lightening lengths 

also super nice in a curly hairdo 

Straight fade

or more contrast on the colour levels, and the position of the graduation is higher

 and a very strong contrast in colour level... (this picture is taken by Dena Huys)

and as for the vibrant Fashion Colours

and the very very vibrant fashion colours

 and when you have a hard time choosing your fashion colour, why not take all....  

                                           RAINBOW HAIR 

 The ombre is best when you start with a colour on the roots thats not too different from your natural tone, as you don't want an outgrowth in your ombre....

Here's my husband Toni Kalin ❤

As you see, there are so many ways to customize this trend to your own style... At the Bed Head Salon in Antwerp, we work this trend...

pastels ❤

I have a great life!

My job let's me be creative and I've already had so many amazing trips around the world 

because of this job... 

The things I see and experience is a big influence on my work...

My job is to make people happy,

we let people feel good about themselves.

And the best part of it,

 I get to share this with my husband! 

I mainly work at the Bed Head Salon in Antwerp, and sometimes a client asks for pastel hair,

 I love doing pastels!

I think it looks awesome in rooths on a full bleach or even in natural hair,

here are some examples: 

Short haircut bleached with pink pastel roots

Formule: Tigi Copyright Colour : 10.08 (20gr) + 2cm 0/55 + 0.5cm 4.2 + 8,5 volume 

Long hair bleached with blue pastel roots

I've always loved a nice bleach...

Many people still say its bad for hair, but when properly done you can have a nice, shiny and healthy result,

I will do a whole blog on bleaching soon...

Long natural hair with greenish ends

and one more Long bleached hair with purple roots

and here as full color in short hair purple pinkish

It's formally known that pastels wash out, great!

...sure you don't want to stick to one color to long...

you can change the tone of your pastel, or enjoy the fact that your hair is back to normal after...

So you understand why i love pastels, it's subtle and still a little crazy at the same time.

This is me and Toni in Bangkok, we both rock the grey tones ✌

Tigi Copyright Colour Ambassador

The reason why I recommend to trust in this colour line,

for me, in first place, is the health of your hair.

Tigi has reinvented their colours last year in order to 'take care' of your hair whilst coloring.

The ingredients have been modified so without being a boring-all-natural-restricted-line, they decided to keep to a minimum of chemicals

 (yesss we need some of them to give you the best results, longer lasting shine and possibilities to change) 

and a maximum of pigments!!

We just had a Tigi Copyright Colour Tour and here is our model Ine Nijs rocking the copper tones!!

Formule: 7.44 (30gr) + 0/44 (10gr) + 0/66 (5gr) + 8,5 volume 

"hair coloring is bad for your hair"

No way!!!

 We can fly to the moon and back, so don't tell me we can't colour your hair without damaging it!!!

To keep a colour like this vibrant, you need to treat it right @ home.

I recommend tigi's Colour Goddess 

(Here is the shampoo, conditioner and leave-in)

 These products seal in color pigments and a have a LockDown Technology to keep your new colour last longer.

HAIR FACT TIP:

The hair is the fastest growing tissue of the body.

Yess colour can fade, normal circumstances will last your color up to 6 weeks.

At this time you will have a root grown from 1 till 1,5 cm.

Good home treatment is necessary and therefore professional products sold in your salon and recommended by your stylist who knows your needs, will make your colour and shine last longer. 

With the range of products in the colour line, all is possible,

in further posts I will go deeper in the shades you can create, such as pastel tones, neutralizers, bleaches and techniques, 

all is personalizable to please any client with unique character.

My life has changed since i got introduced to the world of hair colouring ....
Just a few years ago I met my husband and got involved in his career as hairdresser... my main task was to help in pr, bookkeeping and other reception tasks... not so much my thing, but it needs to be done anyway...
I watched him cutting and coloring his clients day after day until I decided, I could do that too! 
He taught me the basic techniques and theory, after a lot of  practise I started making my own colours, my world changed forever...

Currently my hair is short and bleached...
I do however change the tone of my bleach very often...
Here I have a peachy pink tone, that I created myself <3

All I know and learned is thanx to my husband Toni Kalin, whom has been chosen as hairdresser of the year for the last 4 years, and now has been awarded to first Hall of Fame Hairdresser for Belgium and Luxembourg.... yess, I am so proud of him...
On the same event I got awarded to Colorist of the year 2013, more than I could wish for... 
My motivation?  

 ... do it with your heart, and you can reach your goals...
