Salon Style Hair...At Home?

Now I'll admit when I first saw these promo shots of Louise Redknapp for the new Schwarzkopf LIVE Salon Style I wasn't sure. I've known and loved her as a boho blonde for so many years this was a radical change but we all like to switch up our hair as seasons pass and Winter has obviously tempted her back to her darker roots. I do think she needs to bring back her bronzed glow but her new shade really makes her eyes pop where blonde never did and I tend to think warm brunette tones are more youthful... 

but then I would say that wouldn't I?

Louise has been experimenting with darker shades recently and I think the chocolate brown she's settled on has brought back the natural shine to her bleached hair. I know that's what always steers me back to brunette! To achieve her new do she used the new LIVE Salon Style from Schwarzkopf (in case I hadn't already made that clear). It's the first professional quality hair colour to be developed for home use and promises to cover greys and leave you with healthy, shiny hair. 

Whenever I've had an all over colour at the salon it does always look better than my own efforts at home.. but why? I always thought it must be application but apparently not. Schwarzkopf claim to have bottled it so I can't wait to give it a go. Those of you that have tried other products from the LIVE range in the past will know the results are intense and less prone to fade so I'm excited to see how they've improved upon an already winning formula.

You know I'm a huge advocate of home hair colouring, you name it, I've tried it so when something new is launched my poor hair knows it's set to play guinea pig. Fortunately LIVE have developed an app for you to test out one (or all) of their 20 new shades before taking the plunge. I tried it out.. 

What do you think?

Project Profile Picture

After a conversation with Fee (makeupsavvy.co.uk) on Twitter about how she felt her appearance had  changed over the years I took a peek at my Facebook profile pictures and it turns out I'm quite the chameleon myself. Nearly every one of these was taken before I started blogging and vlogging so it just goes to show I've always been one for switching up my image. I love photos for this reason, you can look back and judge what style really suited you with more objectivity than you could when you were sporting said style. You can see what hair colour made your eyes pop and what just didn't go. You can see that wearing tight dresses did not make you look skinnier and you can see that sometimes it's better to "embrace the pale" than look like a Jersey Shore reject. This is just a selection of photos from the past maybe 5 years... this doesn't include any of my teenage looks where I dabbled with the "goth"trend or sported the (very popular at the time) croydon-face-lift. We've all had our disasters and I love Facebook for keeping them on record for all to see. I'd like to suggest you all give this a go.. it's eye opening!

 

 What's your favourite?

to Red or not to Red?

Lets set aside the damage I did to my hair with all the bleach and how I should leave it alone and just think about this... red or not red? haha

My hair is fading and a rate of knots so why not go for a bit of a crazier colour while it's likely not to last? 

I have always coveted Ashlee Simpsons red hair and think she's one of the few people that suits it over any other colour I've seen even though it's far from her natural shade. I have dabbled with red in the past (see video below) but it faded and I decided to stay brunette but I liked how it looked... what do you think? I have a colour on stand by I'm just waiting... deciding... googling... hmmm...

In The RED!!!

In case you missed the video on YouTube

No pictures yet but a couple of videos.. I'll post some pics tomorrow
