The New Rule For Blonde Color

The New Rule For Blondes....

Here is what I have been noticing in blonde hair color. Hair color is the number one beauty product that can take back years on your looks. If done wrong...it can sometimes age you. My job is to educate you on what is best for your hair color and skin tone.

If your a blonde, stay away from ashy tones....they make your skin look sallow. As we get older, our natural blonde locks starts to darken and get more drab and ashy in color. Our skin tone also starts to change and we loose the warmth and glow in our face. Blondes look best when they stick with warm tones. If you choose to stick with your natural base color and add highlights, go for the honey and golden highlights. Another way to add warmth to your hair is bumping up the base. What that means is lifting your natural color 1 - even 3 levels and then adding highlights. With the base warmer and a lighter beautiful honey blonde color, you can now compliment that with lighter blonde or cooler tone highlights.

The key is to have some warmth in your to add the brightness back to your face. All ash will make your skin look dull and sallow. Some people are scared of warmth...but sorry to say, but what worked for your skin tone when you were younger no longer works as you get older. Be up for the change and bring back the glow to your skin. Ask me what I can do for your blonde.

The Brazilian Blowout

Time to send your hair to rehab? The Brazilian Blowout is the perfect cure to a bad hair day. I have been performing The Brazilian Blowout since my days in Beverly Hills...If your not already familiar with this treatment, I am here to share this amazing salon service with you. There has been so much buzz about this product and with good reason. This is the absolute perfect treatment for anyone with curly, frizzy, damaged or processed hair. Through the use of a Super Nutrient Complex and a proprietary polymer system, the Brazilian Blowout actually improves the condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle. This treatment removes 100% of the frizz and up to 65% of the curl. The hair will be left totally frizz-free, shiny, effortlessly manageable and with plenty of body and bounce. The ONLY Professional Smoothing Treatment that improves the health of the hair. No Damage! and No harsh chemicals! NO FORMALDEHYDE!!!

Results from the system include:

    * Hair is softer and straighter with a silky shine
    * Hair is faster and easier to blow-dry
    * Reduces daily styling time
    * Stronger, healthier hair
    * Enhanced color, longer lasting color
    * Protect hair from environmental, heat and sun exposed hair
    * Less maintenance – hair is close to being “maintenance-free”
    * No down time...you can wash your hair right away!

Here's how it works: The treatment creates a protective protein layer around the hair shaft which eliminates frizz and smooths the cuticle. The formula is formaldehyde free and actually protects your hair from damage caused by heat styling. It takes about 90 minutes to get the service done in the salon and results last up to 12 weeks.

Proud Product Pick Of The Week: Styling Lotion

Styling Lotion is a multi-talented mist that provides control, body building or sleekness, plus a nourishing moisturizer which leaves the hair soft with natural movement. Styling Lotion makes working with delicate or fine hair less risky. It is light, both in terms of hold and weight, and it makes hair less vulnerable by lubricating, detangling, and gradually strengthening and leaves your hair with that no product feel. This product is great for blow drying and giving you that tousled beach look for days you are on the go. I also love to use this spray to freshen up yesterdays blow out or add more life to a current style.


 




Why
Light hold, lightweight, compatibility, heat protection
Who
Anyone; a good choice for fine, frequently styled, fragile or chemically treated hair
When
Anytime; after Prep or Tonic Lotion and before heated tools, and on dry or damp hair. 
How
Spray on damp or dry hair evenly by sections. Work through and style. Use a round brush (for volume), hands (for that messy tousled look) or straighten (for a smooth look). After styling you can also shake your head as you spray Styling Lotion to the ends to add movement with texture. If you want to freshen up a blow out from the day before, spray on Prep first and then spray Styling Lotion and blow dry as usual.

During your next visit to The Den Salon, I am happy to show you step by step styling techniques with any of your favorite products.

Choose The Blonde For You

What you need to know about blonde hair is that there is a right shade for everyone. With a little customizing, you can have a blonde color that works for you.  If you have pale or ashy looking skin, go for a gold or warm shade that will add color to your skin tone. If you have dark brown eyes, go for a caramel shade or a dark blonde color. If you have a lot of pink or red undertones in your skin, stay away from warm shades and stick with a cool or ashy blonde to tone down the redness. If you are in the more mature years, the best choice is to choose warm, golden shades to brighten up your face.

California Blonde:
Has a very American, beachy feel. More bold highlights. Soft, golden tones. The golden or caramel blonde shade has a very natural look which can suit women with fair skin or a very subtle tan.

Dirty Blonde:
Dirty blonde hair color is absolutely fabulous as it is a color that has a very beige tone. Due to it's cooler appearance, this blonde shade is perfect for women with fair as well as tanned skin. This  blonde shade has subtle dimension and can vary in intensity, but they all look gorgeous.

New Hollywood Blonde:
This all out glamorous shade is made with a light base color with beautiful multi-tonal blonde highlights that seem to make the hair shimmer. This tends to be a high maintenance color.

Southern Blonde:
Achieved with a good base formula and just a few face framing highlights for detail. More "tan" in in overall tone

Strawberry Blonde:
the base color is made to be a reddish blonde or warm gold complimented with strong to softer golden highlights. Strawberry blonde is not a hair color for everyone. It's blonde-reddish appearance works great only for women with a fair skin complexion as the color exudes a certain warmth that needs to be complemented by a warm type of complexion.
