Can I Ombre My Hair Extensions?

 

Blonde Ombre By Jaclynn Kate

 





Anyone who knows me personally knows I am CONSTANTLY changing my hair. Also anyone who knows me knows I love & wear extensions. I'm actually kind of obsessed with my hair- well hair in general lol . Recently I was trolling through my InstaGram feed & saw a picture of this beautiful blonde with super dark roots & I just needed to have it on my head! I told my Stylist Carly she had to do this for me but kind of make it into an Ombre effect rather then just a one inch root shade.

Now my stylist Carly is pretty amazing, first reason being she deals with me always wanting something different on my head, secondly because she actually does my hair haha and third reason is because she is absolutely talented. Stating the fact that I always am changing my hair, I tend to only use semi-demi color. Semi-demi gently washes out after so many washes unlike permanent hair color which you're stuck with. So if you are consistently changing your hair every time you go to the hair dresser, I'd suggest speaking with him/her about their choice of color. It's much harder to get permanent color out of your hair if you want to go lighter then it is to get semi-demi color out of your hair.

So here's my look before we began with the process....

My roots were a 7GB in Redken Shades and my ends were toned with a 9GB. My goal is to bring my roots down to a level 3 and tone down the golden tones in my hair a bit. Ideally I wanted my root shade to be dramatic and have some pieces going through my blonde, somewhat like am Ombre, just not as intense as we typically see Ombres. Here are the results!

I absolutely love my look!

Thing is.. the color looks SO different in doors due to our Spot Lighting in the salon. It always makes colors & tones appear different & much more warm then they really are.

With that being said, in natural lighting this is how cool my blonde ending up pulling through due to the Blue that was in the level 3. Some pieces are so cool they almost look grey =] =] LOVE IT.

 

Multidimensional looks are absolutely stunning. Only issue we have in the salon is when a client comes in with a photo like the one above & says I want that. Nine times out of ten the color in the photo didn't happen in one sitting. My hair for example, for me to get to this hair color took four sittings.

Need a new hair styles for 2015 Summer by Jaclynn Kate

I hate when I get into a hair rut, and trust me, I get into hair ruts all the time. With celebrities constantly changing up their looks and us seeing something we like on TV, it's super easy to get bored with our hair. I know for myself, just being in this industry I hate seeing the same thing on my head month after month & have to change it up!

Some of the styles that we see sticking around this year are Bayalage, super light highlights as always, and a lot of pastel colors. I LOVE the pastel colors. Personally I wouldn't be able to pull this look off. I am more of a classic kinda girl, but man the ladies who can pull of that look- beautiful. Bayalage is a very classic yet trendy look I don't see going away anytime soon. It really adds a lot of personality to your look, rather then the traditional highlights- which are always beautiful too!

I had a new client come into the salon earlier this week. She had stated her sister sees me for her hair services & she has been following my blogs & needs a new look! I'm all about it I said, come on it. Upon consultation she explains she hasn't gotten a hair cut in over a year & has been using box color to color her hair-  box color, to any hair stylist that's like cussing at them - LOL

We went over some options and some ideas of things she likes to develop a game plan. Ideally she would like a slightly A-Lined short cut with light hair.

So we developed an idea of the style/color my client intended on getting done, however her hair on top was highly porus and putting a high developer on her hair wouldn't be best for the integrity of her hair. As I explained this to her she understood to get her desired look it would take more then one process to save some of the integrity in her hair. Last thing any hair stylist wants to do is make your hair fall out!!! Kind of not what a client is looking for!! So it's always best to keep it honest with your clients!

Her results were stunning. Our future intension is to get her highlights even lighter & continue to add dimension to her hair.

 

I took her base line and brought it up to the nape of her neck. Thus eliminating an excessive need to just throw your hair into a pony tail. Also stacking this look gives her the option to blow it out and gain volume, or wear it tasseled and sassy.

 

 

All in all, Alli adored her look & is looking forward to it being a work in progress while saving the integrity of her locks!

What is Keratin Complex?

What is Keratin ?

 

Will Keratin Damage My Hair?

 

Hair Salon In Rhode Island

 

What is Keratin by Jaclynn Kate

So you went somewhere else and your double process bleached your hair and now it's a frizzy damaged mess? I hear this often. So in most cases your hairdresser will suggest for you to get a Keratin treatment. Often times when I suggest this to my clients, they respond with 'well what exactly is a keratin'? So I'm going to take the time to break it down for you.

What Is Keratin? It's a protein that's naturally in your hair.
        
How It Works: A stylist applies a keratin hair-straightening product to your hair and then uses the blow dryer to seal it in following the use of a flat iron to seal it in. The process takes about 90 minutes or longer, depending on your hair's length. Our salon uses the keratin product Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy by Coppola. 
       
Time-Saving Tresses: If you usually style your hair straight, a keratin hair-straightening treatment could shorten your blow-dry time by 40% to 60%.       

Farewell, Frizz: You can forget about frizzy hair after treatment. "You could walk out in moist or light rain and your hair won’t change," if your stylist did it correctly.  
    
Wait Before You Wash: You shouldn't wash your hair for three or four days after getting the treatment. That's because the solution takes time to work.     
  
Upkeep: After you get a keratin hair treatment, and after the don't-wash waiting period, you should use sodium-sulfate-free shampoo to help maintain the treatment. It is recommended to use the same brand of Keratin shampoo to ensure the longevity of the treatment. These products were made to work together. Protect your investment.       

How Long It Lasts: Expect the results to last three - six months depending upon which level of treatment you requested to receive.        
Keratin treatments won't make your hair break, but the flat-ironing might. "The hair breakage has nothing to do with the treatments and everything to do with the flat irons that are used to dry and seal the hair afterward," says New York dermatologist Neil Sadick, MD. "Some stylists may use a flat iron that is way too hot and scorches hair, making it break off."
Keratin is more of a restorative treatment, even if you have a good hair type, it still strengthens the hair shaft and makes your hair more resilient."

Here's a little before & after of one of my bridal clients whom I did a Keratin treatment on.

As you can see from the photo to the left, her hair has SO much unwanted volume with frizz. To the right after the treatment her hair is silky smooth, shiny and pin straight. She loved the results and loves how much less time it takes her to dry it in the morning.

Before & After Red Hair Coloring

Red Hair Styles In Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate

 

Red red red!! Red is such a popular request in our salon. I personally LOVE red hair!! It is however one of thee hardest colors to get IN the hair & the hardest color to get 100% OUT of the hair. I know, that kind of sounded like a double negative so I'll explain.

 

So hair types just don't take well to the color red. Very damaged hair also has a hard time taking to red & the color washes out very quickly due to the porosity on the hair follicle. Now even though its' hard to get in the hair, it's equally as hard to get out of the hair. You will find when you are lifting the color out you're struggling to get the pink out of the hair. Most times you have to use a higher volume developer when lifting or your stuck doing a double process bleach. Which we all know isn't the best for our locks. 

 

For example, meet my client Heather. Heather was a dirty brown color when she came into the salon. She asked me be a candy apple red for Valentines Day. So looking at her hair color then & where she wanted to be, I immediately knew I had to lift some of the color out of her hair so she could get the vibrancy she was looking for. I preformed a Soap cap on her & then proceeded to do a straight up R on her. Let it sit for the 20 minutes. Washed it out. It ALL CAME OUT. NO RED. Why? Because her hair is pretty porous due to the flip flopping between colors so often. Therefore the color wouldn't stay. It was on to process #2 with a higher deposit, & boom it was perfect!!

 

The vibrancy was AMAZING. Heather loved it, and couldn't get enough of how fabulous she was going to look on Valentines Day with her hunny =]

 

Meet my best friend & hair client Kim! Kim LOVES red hair color & always tells me her hair doesn't hold red. So initially I didn't listed to her and said I could do it! lol

 

I used a 6RR with a high volume and a red kicker. Went to wash it off and it was an off brownish color in the sink. Initially I was not happy so I went in the back and took some Redken RED Shades over it & let it sit for 15 minutes. Dried it up & man was it a pretty red!!

 



I put some red highlights on the top  of her hair too. Those didn't come out as red as I had anticipated, but overall she was stunned!! I saw Kim about 4 weeks later and most of the red had washed out like she said it would. I think we are going to do a redo & try to seal it with another product to prolong the lifeline of the red in her hair.

 

Meet one of my longest clients & friends, Sara! I've been dong Sara's hair for about 5 years now & she has always been a flip flopper. EVERYTIME she comes in she wants to change it up! Which is great for me cause I get to try new things & she's on cloud nine when she leaves the salon.

 

I went away on Vacation & Sara went somewhere else for a color & cut. Which btw who ever did it did a fantastic hair cut on her <3 <3

 

But her hair color was far too brown for Sara & She wanted to get rid of the copper & go red. Sara goes red all the time, this is nothing new for her or her hair.

 

Try #1. I brought Sara in, colored her base color a level 4 & bleached the ends of her hair to a light blonde to deposit a red on top and make it look balayage. - FAIL - Not even the base color changed!!! And then when I washed the red out it barely stained her hair. - FAIL-

 

Try #2 I went a bit deeper with her base color & tried again on her ends. -FAIL- Ends didn't take. Her hair was so stressed & what ever color that was used prior just wouldn't give.

 

Try #3 All over color. Wash it out. Bleached the ends. Washed it out. Dried it up. Permanent color over the end blended up. = Perfection.

 

 

 

The vibrancy and the placement of the red is just beautiful! I know it took up some trial & errors with her hair not cooperating, but sometimes that happens. A lot of the time we have clients come in with pictures of Guy Tangs work and think that  the style in the photo can be done in 2 hours or one sitting. Not knowing how your hair is going to take to the color has a lot to do with the outcome. Sometimes you have to have a few sittings to get the perfect color you want or you can sit in the salon for 12 hours. Sara's service took all together with trial & error 9 hours.

 

Having realistic expectations and having a serious detailed conversation with your stylist is VERY important. Make sure you both are on the same page & remember to be open minded. <3 <3
