Vertical roll with curls

Vertical roll with curls
Sometimes when you are concentrating on new things like colouring you can forget the previews techniques and how to do hair style which you should be able to do now
So when I had opportunity to practice the vertical roll again I decided to do it 
Some of my colleagues had difficulties with vertical roll for me vertical roll was very easy this time 
So here you have my new version of vertical roll

Highlights Full Head, Half Head

I had was always dream about full head highlights but because I was concern about my hair I never really done it... I never lighten my own hair so much
As a student of hairdressing I understand now more about hair structure and what is happening during highlighting process and before I was defending all natural way of dyeing the hair now I am not scared to use chemicals  on the hair anymore

Still you have to be careful when you doing it and you have to know how to do it in appropriate way
and not over-process  the hair cs you can damage your hair if you don't know what to do

So we started highlighting the hair recently and we practice how to use foil and how to section the hair
Today we had great lesson about full head highlights  and I would like share my work with you


More than 2 hrs of work

Result

The half head highlights has to be done in this same way ( this same method is used to do your guid lines, hair selections) you will decide where is the half part of the head and just start do the packages from the bottom to the top, afterwards the sides and at the end the front  top of the head

The hair was dark brunette and I used bleach Blue Frosting Powder Lightener with developer 6 % on the back of the head and the 9% on the fronts and on the sides  so you can see the hair are just a bit lighter maybe 2-3 shades lighter

It is very important to take good lightener powder so with this powder I couldn't get more lift on brunette hair and the hair were very orange at the end

For better result next time I will probably use Blonder Lightener which one will give me 5-6 shades of lift ( it will work deep in the hair cortex and lighten the hair )

With Blue Frosting Powder Lightener you will need to do 3-4 times the application to get the result of blonder but each one will have to be done every 4-5 weeks I will say , one application per month  so your will not  damage your hair ,
You have to remember that one strong application  could brake your hair specially if is not done by a professional hairdresser 

To change the orange to yellow colour you will have to use toner so after bleaching your hair with blonder or blue frosting lightener you will have to add 9/08 or similar colour

you can find on video below different way of removing brass / orange from your hair

Virgin Hair Colour Application

Virgin Hair Colour Application

The hair which one never was dye before are very smooth and resistant to colour so is good to use a different method of applying the colour.
Normal cotton wool can be your best friend when lightening the hair or colouring the hair
At first, the middle part of hair should be dye all over the head and the part of the hair , around 3cm of the hair from roots , should be left and tint at the end.

To keep the roots clean and dry you can use cotton 
At the back, I have used very light blond

On the sides and top part of the head, I used Rose blond

Semi Permanent Hair Colour

Semi colours work very gently on your hair so you can't really damage your hair with this colours
Semi colours work only outside your hair cuticles and not going to medulla so you can feel safe if you want to use them 
This semi colour will not lift up your colour of the hair it will only add tone or darker your hair 
Colour will last to 10 washes so is a good way to cover your grey hair or add some shine to your hair and add more intensive   Tone to your hair example red blue 

How the semi colour works :
I took two samples of different hair 
Dark one and Light one 
Hair should be wet before applying the colour

Photo 1

After that I took the semi colour dark brown 

Photo 2
Photography by Katarzyna Kujawa © 2015
I put the colour on the hair , The product is made by Wella Company

Photo 3
Photography by Katarzyna Kujawa © 2015

And after 15-20 min the colour is ready 
You can see, photo 4, on the picture below that the semi colour is not visible on dark hair but only on light blond hair so if you lighten your hair before and the tone of the hair was orange you could use semi colour to add some blue tone to get a blond tone.
or just come back to brunette 

Semi Permanent Colour is very good to your hair and will not damage your hair.
