Bronde TREND COLOUR

Kim Murray works the trend

WELCOME

Blonde & brunette hybrids hit our radar

T

he latest colour to hit the glossy beauty pages of every magazine is BRONDE. It’s the prettiest blend of blonde & brunette, which is almost universally flattering on everyone. It looks polished & well groomed – the perfect colour for those wanting to flit between the boardroom, meeting the in-laws & gracing the social circuit.

Our Head Colourist Siobhan Jones loves the way Kim Murray wears hers, she says: “It’s truly tailored to her, with a subtle blend of her own natural colour, deeper blondes & lighter pieces to catch the light around her face.”

The upsides of this new hot colour are: it’s the perfect first step for those who are a little colour shy & a great option if you can’t get to the salon very often it blends out beautifully between appointments.

YOUR PERFECT BLOW-DRY FOR FINE HAIR

How our Art Director Jonathan Soons did it. .……

od Must-have pr

E

for baby-fine hair & your blow-dry can literally make or break your day.

Nioxin (the no.1 brand for thinning hair) has collaborated with Headmasters to create the perfect blow-dry for fine hair using their game changing 3D styling range. Nioxin understand super fine hair & their products are formulated using this knowledge.

We LOVE NIOXIN THICKENING SPRAY £16.90

• He used Nioxin Bodifying Foam through the roots & Nioxin Thickening Spray on the ends.

• He then wrap dried the model’s hair using a paddle brush rather than a round brush (which tends to smooth hair too much).

• He moved the brush from side to side flipping the hair to allow as much movement & air as possible to plump up the roots.

• To finish, he used a tong to create an undone texture & width at the sides.

• He finished with a good dose of Nioxin Niospray for maximum volume & lightweight hold.

NIOXIN NIOSPRAY £16.90

veryone has hair struggles, whether your hair is naturally thick, fine, dry, oily, weak or coarse. BUT if you have fine hair, your number 1 issue is going to be styling.

Fine hair tends to have a love / hate relationship with styling products & heated tools. Using the right products & mastering techniques is essential

NIOXIN BODIFYING FOAM £16.90

A foam or a mousse is your secret weapon for creating lightweight volume

YOUR PERFECT BLOW DRY Book now FROM £30 0345 459 7700 NIOXIN THERM ACTIVE PROTECTOR £16.90

TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FINE HAIR

Headmasters Jonathan Soons advises..

• Opt for a shorter cut, anything above collarbone will make your hair less weighty & allow more bounce at the roots.

• Fine hair is prone to split ends, use a heat protector when using heated tools, but make sure it is formulated for fine hair, Nioxin Therm Active Protector £16.90 is perfect.

• Colour can create the illusion of fuller hair whilst improving texture – subtle lights will make a huge difference.

• Traditional conditioners can leave fine hair limp, a lightweight leave-in conditioner every other wash is a great alternative, we love Nioxin Rejuvenating Elixir.

• A foam or a mousse is your secret weapon for creating lightweight volume, especially at the roots, try Nioxin Bodifying Foam £16.90.

WILL IT SUIT ME?

If you have naturally dark to light blonde hair with light eyes this shade will work perfectly on you. Headmasters expert colourists use the latest generation lightening products from L’Oréal Professionnel.

Using a double process to achieve this beautifully pale blonde, first hair is lightened and then toned for a bespoke finish.

Banish brassiness forever with your choice of four pretty colour washes to soften your blonde depending on your skin tone and natural hair colour. It will keep your oolour clean, bright and sparkling. Our toners are ammonia free and work on strengthening and conditioning the hair for a high shine finish.

• Ice – An iridescent hue that is perfect for the cleanest, whitest shade of blonde.

• Vanilla– Adds a soft golden blonde tone to the hair.

• Rose Gold – Ideal if you have warm undertones, it adds a hint of peach to your blonde.

• Biscuit – A little more natural with a rich, incandescent shine.

The Nordic shade looks best when hair is shiny and healthy, Siobhan Jones, Headmasters Colour Ambassador recommends regular trims to keep split ends at bay and Kérastase Fusio Dose to keep hair nourished.

Gwyneth Paltrow

ordic blonde is having its moment. There is something visually arresting about this most unapologetic of shades. More than simply a box platinum bleach, it has a depth of tone which adds a sophisticated and high-end quality to the shade. This illusive tonal depth is something that can only be achieved in the salon chair.

The experience and knowledge of an educated colourist turns the harsh edge of this colour into something more ethereal, refined and other worldly.

The cut has become indicative of women in their prime, high achievers showcasing a confident, bolder side to their personalities.

CONTOURING WITH COLOUR

To keep your new length looking modern, add some subtle colour to enhance shape & definition to your cut. Fundamentally the Headmasters Runway Bob is completely personalised.

Expert colourists place colour two shades lighter and darker

Felicity Jones

Sienna Miller

Jourdan Dunn than your natural shade to enhance texture & movement throughout. It subtly contours & frames your face similar to using a bronzer and highlighter. Headmasters expert colourists use a new technique called Prisme, which focuses on using triangular panels of colour rather than highlights.

The Runway Bob cut & colour concentrates on enhancing volume at the ends rather than roots, to stop the hair shape looking too round & helmet like.

Headmasters colourists place lighter or darker shades around the face & ends of the hair to create shadows which enhance cheekbones & jaw-lines.

Must-have product.. The Soft Curl Tong

perfect blow-dry is a very subtle art. It’s like the perfect t-shirt, hard to define but easy to recognise. It’s part shape, quality of materials & simplicity – the combination of which makes it work, or not. The experts at ghd & Headmasters have studied the form & together created the ultimate blow-dry to see you through the Christmas festivities with ease. The secret to elevating your blow-dry is to create the coveted oval shape, which means height at the hairline & width through the mid-sections & ends. It’s polished but touchable, that little enigma that Parisian girls seem to always get just right but is so hard to accomplish without a pro.

There are a couple of key elements that build the foundations for this blow-dry & make it worth booking into the salon for.

1. Prep – The perfect prep will make sure your blow-dry has the inner strength to last & create that oval shape.

2. Knowledge – Precise sectioning means you have height in the places that count, not all over.

3. Patience – Allowing areas to cool properly (& therefore set).

4. Tools – The right brushes (paddle & narrow dressing brush), ghd soft curl tong & a ghd aura.

5. A skilled stylist – Who has been taught how to blow-dry over weeks, months & years. Every Headmasters stylist goes on specific training just to learn to blow-dry.

No emergency dry shampoo needed, follow our top tips to prolonging your style

STEP 1: Take a vertical section at the side of the hair near the hairline and gently wrap around the ghd soft curl tong, towards your face. Make sure you leave out the last 3cm (which you hold between your finger and thumb) to give the ends a modern finish. You are looking to create the wave just through the centre part of the hair and to round the hair at the roots to create width.

STEP 2: Repeat this motion through the

fringe section wrapping the hair around the ghd soft curl tong towards the face at the root area only, leaving the mid lengths and ends out. Replicate on the other side.

STEP 3: Through the sides wrap hair

almost to the ends, remember to leave only 3cm out.

STEP 4: Take a triangle section through the top near your crown.

Do this by placing your index fingers together on the top of your head and tracing outwards and then back together just past the crown, the triangle section will give the perfect shape for flattering height through the top. Take the ghd narrow dressing brush and gently tease the roots to 3cm through this section.

Then lightly brush over the top, to brush into shape being careful not to brush too deeply and pull out the teasing.

Keep the brush in your handbag to top up the styling through the night/day.

STEP 5: Through the front, brush the

hair back then push forward to create the front wave.

STEP 6: Turn the brush on the side and use to lightly brush through the last 5cm flicking the style outwards at the ends to finish the style. And you’re done!
