Platinum Blonde and Silver Grey Hair Colour Trends at FOX Hair Design Salons in Barwell and Hinckley

Now that the new year is almost here, you will want to make sure you freshen up your look with vibrant new hair look.  Platinum blonde and silver grey hair colours are big hair colour trends. At Fox Hair Design hair salons in Barwell & Hinckley, we create the most beautiful blonde hair colours, perfect for bold new you.

Choosing the right blonde hair colour

Blonde hair can be higher maintenance and going (and staying) blonde requires some TLC in order to stay looking fabulous.  Platinum blonde hair choices range from an icy blonde, a blue hue or a silver grey hair colour. Whether you want a statement hair colour, or the latest trending blonde hair colour, the bright and loud colour of platinum blonde, we can help you achieve this. We can help find the perfect tone from ice white to ash platinum, silver grey to platinum highlights.

Silver grey hair colours

Want to lift dull hair with some added shimmer and shine? If so, the metallic silver hair colour trend is still going strong. Silver grey hair colour is a huge hair colour trend which comes in a range of shades from pale icy tones to blue grey hair colours. You’ll need regular toners to keep your grey topped up. We recommend a grey toner top up every three weeks.

How to get platinum blonde hair

If you’re contemplating re-vamping your image and dyeing your hair blonde, there are a few things you may want to know before taking the plunge. This involves visiting us regularly for a professional hair colour treatment and refraining from using at-home hair dye kits, in order to avoid the need of a colour correction treatment. You will also need to invest in regular trims, condition your hair regularly and keep your regrowth in check. If you are ready to take your hair to the next level of blonde, talk to your stylist at our hair salon.

Unless your hair is blonde to begin with, going platinum is likely to take more than one appointment. It’s important to listen to your hair colourist’s advice.  You will need great aftercare to maintain condition, and visit the salon regularly for a toner top up.

Ice white blonde hair colour trend

This winter, white blonde hair is set to be cooler than ever. Rest assured our expert hair colour technicians can create a hair colour that suits your skin tone and style. If you’re unsure as to whether ice white blonde hair is the right hair colour for you, speak to one of our team for a free hair colour consultation.

Tips for Healthy Winter Hair from FOX Hair Design Salons in Barwell & Hinckley

Winter is here! This is a time when our hair needs to look it’s very best, despite the cold weather outside. Keep your locks silky and lustrous with the following tips brought to you by the expert hair stylists at FOX Hair Design salons in Barwell & Hinckley.

Stop Itchy Scalp During Winter

Healthy Winter HairAs the weather gets colder, this can cause your scalp to peel and become itchy. Invest in a good quality shampoo and conditioner to get a healthy shine.  Additionally, applying a natural oil to the hair ensures it is well hydrated with essential moisture and nutrients.

We have a full range of professional, well known branded products for all hair types at our hair salons in Barwell and Hinckley – aimed at both men and women. Brands include Ikoo, Davines & R&Co. Ask your Fox Hair Design stylist for advice on which products will help you get the best results with your hair. Most people enjoy using a combination of the shampoo, conditioner, mask, and finishing product for nourished, healthy-looking hair.

Prevent Dull, Dry & Damaged Hair In Winter

Healthy Winter HairIt is common for many of us to spend much of our time in centrally heated rooms during winter. For this reason, if possible, it’s a good idea to let your hair air dry and limit your use of tools like dryers and flat irons. Still, be aware that going outside with wet hair in cold weather can cause your hair to freeze and break, so try protecting your hair with a cap.

Additionally, to keep your hair glossy and healthy during winter it is important to prevent dryness and we recommend you to use a deep conditioner plus a leave in treatment.  It is important you are giving your hair as much moisture that is needed. Consistently hydrating hair ensures hair does not dry out and reduces the risk of hair breakage. Conditioning your hair after shampooing should be an important part of your hair routine. 

 

Adopt a Healthy Diet

Healthy Winter HairEating a healthy diet full of vitamins is the best way to keep your hair and scalp looking and feeling healthy.  Diet also plays a significant role in combating dull hair, so ensure your diet is getting you all the minerals and vitamins your hair needs – in particular,  A, C & D, protein and omega 3. 

Also make sure you drink plenty of water to keep your hair and scalp hydrated.

Trim Hair to Beat Split Ends In Winter 

Whether you have long or short hair, winter weather can make the ends of your hair dry and brittle. The constant brushing of hair on woollen hats in winter can also cause split ends. The surest way to deal with split ends is getting a regular trim. Additionally, if you can tolerate the cold, rinse your hair with cold water, this helps the cuticles to stay flat and close, which makes them shiny. To avoid split ends, visit your Fox Hair Salon hair salon for your regular haircut. Contact us on one of the numbers below:

Keeping Up With Your Hair Colour – Highlights, Glosses & Toners Explained

/in /by

With so many amazing hair colour techniques available at FOX Hair Design, it can often be a little overwhelming as to what each service entails. Here, we break down some of the most popular hair colour techniques at our Hinckley and Barwell salons as part of this month’s hair colour focus – including highlights, toners and colour glossing. 

If you would like your FOX Hair Design stylist to recreate any of the hair colours mentioned below, book your next appointment call 01455 850840 (Barwell Salon) or 01455 633055 (Hinckley Salon).

Hair Colour 101: Highlights

Penny, Creative Director Fox Hair Design Hinckley 

Highlights are a great way of adding dimension and tonality to hair. Gone are the days of bright brassy stripy highlights. The colour, tone, and placement of highlights is bespoke. Highlights are a great way of showing off a great hair cut. Maintenance and upkeep is generally lower than a full head block colour…unless you like your hair super blonde!

[field name=image1]

Hair Colour 101: Gloss

Jade, Senior Stylist Fox Hair Design Barwell

A colour gloss does exactly what it says. It adds a beautiful glossy shine to the hair, without drastically changing your colour. Colour glosses are really good to have done in between colour services, especially if you have a balayage or ombre. They stop your colour looking dull and washed out. Glosses are semi-permanent and will gradually fade after about 12 washes.

[field name=image2]

Hair Colour 101: Toners

Grace, Salon Director Fox Hair Design Barwell 

A toner can change a blonde in a matter of minutes. We use toners to cancel or correct the colours that are brought out during a lightening process. A toner can change a brassy blonde in to a cool ash in no time at all. Toners are like the icing on the cake. Toners are only temporary; most blondies know that. Toners need to be topped up regularly to keep your blonde on point.

Which Hair Colour Will Suit Me?

Choosing The Perfect Hair Colour For Your Skin Tone at FOX Hair Design Salons in Barwell & Hinckley

Choosing the right hair colour for you isn’t just about picking your favourite shade. It’s also about ensuring that your brand new hair colour accentuates your appearance – and makes you look and feel great!

At FOX Hair Design Salons in Barwell & Hinckley, our team of stylists have the expertise to help you find your dream hair colour. During your complimentary hair colour consultation we can discuss the colours you like, the look you want, and find the right hair colour for you. 

Skin Tone & Hair Colour Choice – What’s Right For Me?

Your skin tone plays a major role in choosing the correct hair colour. If you choose a shade that is too dark for your skin tone, you may look washed out; opt for a hair colour that is too light and your hair can seemingly ‘disappear’ against your skin.

Hair Colours For Darker Skin Tones: If you have a darker skin tone, then you can pull off brighter colours and rich tones. How about some gorgeous brunette lowlights, a full head of golden highlights or hand-painted balayage?

Hair Colours For Pale Skin: Porcelain skin tone often has olive undertones which allows you to choose lighter hair colours such as champagne or platinum shades. Strawberry blondes and copper hair shades also look great on lighter skin tones.

Hair Colours For Warm Skin Tones: Warm skin tone has undertones of yellow and gold. Try cool browns and copper hair colours.

Hair Colours For Neutral Skin: You’re one of the lucky ones! Great news is you will suit most hair colours so why not give them all a whirl!?

Balayage vs Ombre Hair Colour…What’s The Difference?!

/in /by

Balayage and ombre are two of the most popular hair coloring techniques around. While we’ve all heard of them, it can sometimes be a little tricky to figure out the difference – let alone decide which hair colour technique is right for you.

Balayage vs Ombre Hair Colour...Whats The Difference?!

If you’re not sure where to start, don’t panic. The team of hair colour technicians at FOX Hair Design salons in Barwell & Hinckley have the expertise to help you find the perfect hair colour for you based upon your skin tone, overall appearance and desired look. 

Here, we’ve broken down the difference between balayage and ombre styles to get you started…

Balayage

Balayage is a freehand technique that is used instead of traditional cap or foil highlights. This gives your FOX Hair Design stylist the creative freedom to make a bespoke look for you.

From a child’s sun kissed hair in summer, to a more edgy look, it is all up to you and your stylist’s vision. The grow out of a balayage is very natural looking and also requires minimum upkeep.

[field name=image1]

Ombre

Ombre is a colour fading gradually from roots to ends, typically darkest at the roots to lighter at the ends. What continues to be so exciting about this technique is that it’s the best of both worlds, light and dark. It allows us to create bold colour contrasts, whereas Balayage has a more natural-looking finish.

This could be a huge contrast in colour, or more slight depending on your desired end result. The upkeep for an ombre is minimal which is essential for today’s girl on the go. Call to schedule your ombre or balayage hair appointment today! Call 01455 850840 (Barwell Salon) or 01455 633055 (Hinckley Salon)

Spring Hair Trends for 2017 at Fox Hair Design Salons in Barwell & Hinckley

spring hair ideas at fox hair design salons in Barwell & Hinckley

With the arrival of spring comes the perfect excuse for a hairstyle overhaul! Why not start the new season in style with a fresh new hair cut or top trending hair colour?

At Fox Hair Design Salons in Barwell & Hinckley we understand the importance of a quality hairstyle and that’s why our skilled hair colourists & hair stylists are on hand to create the perfect spring time look for you. 

The latest hair colour contouring hair trend for 2017

Our skilled hair colourists at our Barwell & Hinckley hair salons will cleverly contour and shape your face using hair colour contouring – the latest hair colouring technique.

We will create optical illusions by using light and dark hair colours to draw attention to areas of the head and face or divert them away! This dynamic hair colouring trend for spring can dramatically enhance your natural features by making longer faces appear shorter and wider faces appear more narrow.

Classic hair colours like rich brunnettes and warm golden blondes can be used to give stunning hair colouring results or if you prefer brighter, vibrant hair colours in your hair, then this technique works great with them too.

[sg-gallery-picker tag=cont limit=3]

Top trending rainbow hair

This modern and trendy hair colouring technique is super playful and fun! Have all the colours of the rainbow added to your hair or choose your favourite and display it as a flash of colour to add interest to your existing hairstyle.

Don’t fancy multiple hair colours in your hair? Try ‘hidden rainbow hair‘ instead and have your rainbow discreetly hidden within the layers of your hair. That way you choose when you show of your colourful surprise!

If you would prefer subtle rainbow hair colour, then our hair colour technicians at our Barwell & Hinckley hair salons recommend opting for softer pastel rainbow colours instead. Think soft ice cream tones for hair colour inspiration!

[sg-gallery-picker tag=rain limit=3]

The grunge hair styling look at Fox Hair Design

Add dimension to your existing hairstyle and embrace the 90’s inspired grunge look by having an under cut or choppy disconnected layers added to your hair cut.

For playful grunge hairstyles wear your hair tied loosley in a ponytail or for an effortlessly relaxed look opt for tousled buns or plaited pigtails that look deliberately messy.

[sg-gallery-picker tag=grun limit=3]

The textured hair trend for spring 2017

Are you looking for the best textured hairstyle in Barwell and Hinckley? Our highly trained team at Fox Hair Design advise that for an ultra textured versatile hairstyle, you need to have the ends of your hair thinned. This will achieve a dishevelled look that is bang on trend.

To create movement in your hairstyle ask for layers to be added to your hair using a razor and achieve one of the hottest hairstyles around! Create a fresh new look by adding soft waves or for a more sophisticated textured hairstyle use a big round brush whilst blow drying and curl your ends.
