Hair by Rush Hair

Recently I've been trying out new hairstyles but I'm always on the lookout for new tips, tricks and styles.  Who better to ask than Rush Hair, who recently won London Hairdresser of the Year?

THE SHOW STOPPER - this is my fave, being a curly girl myself.  Moisture moisture moisture from now on!

'"The Show-Stopper" is big, bouncy and beautiful. This curly stunner has been enhanced with a natural red glossing, this visually expands the curls and adds tremendous shine to every perfect curl. The warmth of the hair is transported in to the skin giving the model a youthful glow.

"Curly hair loves moisture!" So to achieve this look at home on naturally curly hair feed your hair with moisture. Stat with the shampoo and conditioner, the better quality product you use the better the result, with this hair type we would use a conditioning mask every time. Curly hair dose not like to be disturbed too much so squeeze hair dry do not rub with a towel, if you need to comb the hair use a wide tooth comb not a brush. Add a generous amount of a smoothing curl cream, squeeze in to the hair and allow to dry naturally. My favourite curl product is Oleo curl cream from Kérstase.'

THE PRINCESS

 

'"The Princess" is such a stunning look as it's a long style with lots of character. The blend of blonde tones adds the feeling of expensive  looking hair and they beautifully compliment the choppy graduation around the face. This smooth sleek look has been brought to life with a bouncy turned under blowdry.

To achieve this look at home wash and condition hair with a moisturising shampoo and conditioning treatment. Add a smoothing heat protector to your mid lengths and ends, apply L'Oréal Professionnel Volumizing Leave-in Spray to the root area. Taking sections, blow-dry the hair with a large round brush, roll each section loosely around your fingers and pin under until cool.'

THE CITY GIRL

'"The City Girl" look has an amazing shine and flawless finish. The rich dark tone in the hair really compliments the models colouring and makes the most of her beautiful brown eyes. The sharp graphic out line of this very on trend bob strengthens the jawline and by dressing the hair back on one side lifts the cheekbones and opens up the eyes.
 

This look can be achieved at home by using a shine enhancing treatment, blowdrying the hair with a light volume spray and finishing with straightening irons and shine serum.'

THE STREET CHIC STAR

 

 

"The Street Chic Star" is fun and chic whilst being an everyday wearable style. The clever placement of chocolate and honey tones around the hairline adds texture, depth and highlights the focal point of the cut, this gives versatile styling options. The short choppy layers around the crown bring this style to life and create effortless texture.

To achieve this at home wash and condition hair, add a volume product to the roots and smoothing oil such as Kerastase Elixir Ultime to the ends and blowdry with a small paddle brush; the front section may need shaping with a round brush depending on the hair type. Finish the hair with a light pliable paste or spray wax.

THE FASHIONISTA

Ask your stylist for a dip-dye. This soft, feminine colour technique blends seamlessly from a darker shade at the root to a lighter shade at the ends. Ask your stylist to use a shade similar to your natural colour at the root for a low maintenance colour. This look works best on wavy hair but can also be done on straight or curly styles.  Lightened ends will need conditioning treatments to keep them feeling and looking healthy. I’d recommend a Fiberceutic treatment by L’Oreal Professionnel in salon along with a take home fiberceutic conditioner to keep your hair feeling great.

Remember that if you are going to have your hair cut to tell your stylist so the colour’s not all cut out!

THE WESTEND GIRL

 

Ask your stylist for a full head copper red tint. This vibrant shade makes a striking statement. Be aware that darker coloured hair (even a semi-permanent done in the last year or even longer ago) may need to be cleansed to achieve a bright, copper red shade.
 

Reds can be prone to fade on a more noticeable scale than more natural shades so using a shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair is essential. I’d recommend Bain Chroma captive and Chroma captive masque by Kerastase to keep your colour’s vibrancy for up to 40 days.
 

An in salon enrich colour treatment can intensify the shade or top it up between permanent colour applications perhaps for a special night out.
