Little secrets from the kitchen

Today on the market is a great number of products - shampoos, conditioners, masks and wraps - which serve as the prevention of cracked ends, loss of radiance and bringing health of your hair back. It is impossible to completely replace such products, but sometimes an adequate substitute can be found in your kitchen. Olive oil, honey, beer, egg - some of the products that can serve as a home remedy for hair care. 


One home prescription for the effective recovery of damaged hair is shine mask :
- Make a 3-4 teaspoons of olive oil and 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice. Heat the oliveoil and add  lemon juice, stir the paste and rub it on washed hair. Wrap the hair with a towel and hold it so up to an hour. Afterwards, rinse the hair thoroughly.


Furthermore, if you have problems with cracked ends:
- Heat the vegetable oil and rub it on the problematic part of the hair. Wrap your hair with a towel and hold for a while.

Beer is known to have a similar effect as a gel, or that you can use it to tame coarse hair, a honey and vinegar have the opposite effect - they will give your hair volume.


So, we have listed some of the many homemade recipes that can help your hair, but what makes us reject this fact is that no one doesn't guarantee success when using these recipes, and there is no guarantee that there will be no unwanted side effects. Inappropriate preparations can destroy the hair. Although, they say that the lemon, if you want lighten your hair, is a great collaborator, do not be surprised when you see cracked ends after using it.


If you have this option, be sure to choose the proven products (professional products) of top manufacturers in the world because your hair does not deserve to be exposed to such a risk - so the egg for breakfast, honey in tea, and beer for mood.

Daniel Galvin introduces Finger Painting

Daniel Galvin OBE is renowned for being the ‘King of Colour’. During the 60s he invented ‘Crazy Colour’, he modernised the highlighting industry with his ‘Brickwork’ technique and throughout the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st has been continually developing his art by coming up with new, innovative ways of creating the perfect hair colour.

As featured in the Sunday Times Style this weekend, Daniel has just launched a revolutionary new method of colouring the hair. Our new exciting technique is called Finger Painting and is a free-flowing, effortless look produced by gradually coaxing and teasing the colour through the middle to the tips of the hair with the fingers rather than applying the colour using combs and brushes and baking it in foils.

Using a specially prepared formula Daniel lifts the colour that already lies within the natural pigment of the hair, producing a hue that is a few shades lighter than the original and thus delivering a soft, uncontrived effect. Similarly, the finger weaving produces a gentle, more unaffected appearance, avoiding harsh, angular foil lines.

Daniel is thrilled to once again bring a new colouring procedure to the industry: “My key professional aim is to ‘Enhance Natural Beauty’ and I feel that this technique perfectly demonstrates that philosophy. This is such an ideal method for me – by using my hands I’m really getting in touch with my canvas and forcing to the surface that inner natural beauty.”

10 Commandments of Reds and Brunettes, with David Stanko

Few color educators are as versatile, thought provoking and amusing as David Stanko. The Redken color consultant, New York-based salon colorist and client consultation expert has been there and done that when it comes to every color situation, including formulating and troubleshooting reds and brunettes. “I think we’ll see a resurgence of coppers and reds in the next 12 months,” he predicts. “And a lot of dark-haired celebrities like Kim Kardashian are in the spotlight, which means more demand for these hues. Just remember, super dark brunettes are hard to wear and eventually girls will get bored with them. So try to create them with demi-permanents—it will be easier to ‘evolve’ out of them when the time comes.”

1. Reds are personal, and certain reds are more suitable to specific clients than others.  People with porcelain and neutral skin tones and freckles wear reds best. However, it’s possible to adapt red hues to nearly anyone—it’s just a matter of placement and technique.  For example, never place red highlights on mousy brown hair—it will look synthetic and unnatural. Opt instead for a single process red hue.  And, avoid reds altogether on clients with lots of red undertones in their complexions—they’ll look like big tomatoes!

2. For subtle contrast on strawberry and copper tones, highlights are ideal. But keep them subtle—a few strategic, peek-a-boo accents in the fringe and part areas break up the boredom, but going overboard can lead to a yogurt parfait effect. Stick to single process color on stronger cranberry, crimson, pomegranate and mahogany hues. Adding additional contrast to these shades take them into the realm of “clowniness.”
