Hi, I'm Rupal and I'm at the Vous salon
to transform my hair into something more interesting
and playful and I'm pretty excited about it.
So today I'm meeting Sneha,
who will be consulting me regarding what colour can I go in for,
pre care, post care, what are the latest trends
and all that you need to know about hair colour.
Hi guys, I'm Sneha Daftary and I'm the owner & creative head of Vous Salon.
And I'm also the decider of Rupal's hair colour today!
She actually shared a lot of reference pictures with me
which actually helps picking the right colour for her.
So we're going to start off first with her colour consultation.
We're going to go through with Rupal what we're going to do to her hair
so that there are no surprises there!
So I've heard a lot about the colour techniques
that are trending today like Babylights,
Highlights, Ombre, Balayage.
So I want you to pick a technique for me
that is suitable for my skin tone and my hair.
Yes, there are a lot of techniques out there
and there is an overload of colour choices as well
because of social media
and people are reading so much about it
on blogs and magazines and everything.
So we will definitely pick a technique
and a colour that is best suited for your profession,
your skin, your lifestyle and all of that.
Balayage is basically a very very recent colour technique
and it's been trending here since the past 5-6 years.
It's basically a very natural way of colouring the hair
so that's why it's become extremely popular.
We basically colour the hair towards the end
and that helps to kind of enhance the layers
and at the same time the hair can still look kind of sun kissed.
Babylights is a technique that is used for people who
want very minimal change.
Because that kind of keeps the hair looking extremely natural.
And it doesn't have very big pieces.
Highlights on the other hand is a very classic technique
and we use this technique a lot specially for
Indian hair, Indian skin and Indian preferences.
They love highlights because we love, you know
the colour framing our face and all of that
which the Balayage and the Babylights don't tend to do!
Apart from that, Ombre again is a very restrictive colour technique
specially people who have very serious jobs
or bank jobs or things like that.
Don't opt for that technique because it looks like a
kind of like a block of colour at the bottom.
And usually when people do an ombre,
they pick very edgy colours.
So all your strawberry colours and your purple unicorn colours,
all of that, that's what we do in an ombre.
So out of these colour choices,
which one do you think I should stick to?
So I think you should stick to definitely a warm colour
so it's not too pale
but at the same time it's light enough
to make that change
because I know that you're looking to transform your hair.
So I think that will be a good choice for you.
So I am nervous about the hair colour
but now that you're suggesting it,
I will definitely love to go for it.
So what we're going to do for you today is,
we're going to do a traditional highlight
so that the entire hair is covered with enough colour
so that we get that change that you're looking for.
At the same time there'll be enough of your base colour
to add that nice separation.
And there'll be enough colour to frame your face
to give it that pop that we want.
Alright, but this colour won't look too over the top
at the end of the day right?
No, not at all. We'll make sure
that we customise it exactly
according to the brief that you've given me.
And it'll add that element of drama
but it'll be very easy to maintain.
And you won't need to style your hair or any of that
when you go back.
Alright!
We start off with sectioning her hair
in zig zag sections
so that her highlights are very blended in.
Then we're going to start weaving her hair
and applying foils to her hair.
We're going to simultaneously also cover her previous colour
that she has applied in her hair.
The technique looks so intricate and detailed
that I'm sure a lot of care has gone into it.
Now I just can't wait to see the results.
So today, we've actually gone with something that I call a Brondie
which is like something between a brown and a blonde
because she did want that lovely change
she was bored of her hair
and she wanted that little drama.
So I've actually picked to do
a traditional highlight for her
which is actually a fabulous technique because
there is enough colour in the hair,
you can actually see the colour frame your face and
it grows out very very well so no touch-ups needed.
So now we're just going to take you for a wash!
And last but not the least, we're going to add fibre plex
in all her hair colour from her toner to her hair colour
to everything.
So that it prevents the hair bonds from breaking and
it prevents her hair from getting damaged because of the colour.
So now we're just going to take you for a wash
and we'll know exactly how it looks.
Great.
So I hope you like it!
It's amazing! I really love the colour
and it's looking really nice!
I just feel it's that zing that we wanted
and the warm tones are actually bringing out your skin tone
and it's making you look brighter and really really vibrant!
Definitely!
And now I get to look like this everyday!
It is. It is quite soft and I think,
it's more to do with the fibre plex
that we've used in the colour
which has actually made the hair very shiny
and you know it'll stay like this, so don't worry!
So colour treated hair requires more care
than your normal hair.
So make sure you use a shampoo and conditioner
for colour treated hair and switch all your products around.
Also make sure that you use some hair serum
so that your hair remains soft and hydrated.
And if possible, put a hair mask in your hair once a week.
So that your mid-lengths and ends remain
supple and soft.
I hope you enjoyed watching this video.
Until next time, stay tuned and stay Glamrs!
