Why Low Maintenance?
Low maintenance hair colour is all about creating a soft, blended root, giving you a seamless, natural looking result for longer. As busy women, salon appointments can sometimes come around faster than we'd like, which is why low maintenance and lived in colour techniques are so popular, they help extend the time between visits with out compromising on beautiful hair. One of the biggest benefits is that you can continue loving your colour long after you leave the salon, without worrying about harsh regrowth lines appearing after just a few weeks.
​Whether you are looking for a subtle grey blend, a softer blonde or a dimensional brunette, the goal is to combine your natural colour with your desired look to create a personalised result that works with your lifestyle. With a thoughtfully designed low maintenance colour, your hair grows out softly and naturally, keeping it looking fresh, effortless and beautiful for longer.
What is Grey Blending?
Grey Blending is a soft, natural colour technique designed to seamlessly blend your greys rather than completely covering them. Using a combination of highlights, lowlights and toning, I create dimension throughout the hair to soften regrowth and eliminate harsh root lines. Unlike traditional full colour coverage, grey blending allows your natural grey to become part of the overall look, resulting in a more effortless, low maintenance colour that grows out beautifully.
Whether you're beginning to embrace your greys or looking for a softer alternative to frequent root touch ups, grey blending offers a natural, lived in result that keeps your hair looking fresh and modern for longer.
Why it's important to choose a Grey Blend Specialist.
It's important to choose a grey blend specialist when you start your grey blend journey. Someone that understands how grey hair behaves, your natural root pattern, will look after the hair health and most importantly, understands the emotional journey you are on too. A grey blend transformation is liberating. It often comes at a time in a women's life when she is ready to reclaim who she is and that's a beautiful thing to be a part of.
What I solve as your low maintenance, grey blend specialist.
- Harsh root lines, otherwise known as the line of demarcation. This is the main problem area, seeing those grey hairs appear within just a few short weeks of a root colour. I break up this line for a softer blend.
- Yellow, brassy highlights. Trying to go blonde to disguise the grey only to give yourself another problem of yellow brassy tones that don't suit your complexion. I add depth back into the hair where its needed and tone to suit you.
- Regular salon visits. Root colours that only last a couple of weeks, planning every salon visit with life events or using root powders to get you through. Reaching for the purple shampoo to help tone the warmth form your highlights. All of this can be easier with a softer low maintenance blend.
- Feeling washed out. When your hair colour doesn't match your skin tone. My grey blend transformations include a professional colour analysis report. This helps me choose tones that compliment your complexion.
