As so many brides wear their hair in an upswept style the accessories she chooses will be of paramount importance in not only accentuating her hair, dress and features but also ensuring that every strand remains in place for the entire day!

Wedding Dress & Wedding Hair Accessories –
Naturally enough everything starts with the wedding dress. So if the wedding dress material is arrayed with seed beeds, diamantes and various gemstones then the wedding hair accessories should have the matching type of gemstones. The tone is also important as wedding dresses come in numerous amount of different shades of white, creams, pinks and blues – so its important to choose accessories that magnify these colours rather than reduces the effect.


Veil & Wedding Hair Accessories –
A veil is obviously the most prominent of all hair accessories and is often fixed on with an elastic circle. A separate headpiece is then used along the lie of elastic which makes it look likes it all one piece. This gives the bride alot more options in terms of what decoration she wants to select to enhance the veil. The other main hair accessories would be hairpins, clips, combs, hairnets etc and each one would have their own specialist decorations to match both the wedding dress and veil. Flowers are also chosen that can symoloise the occassion, so on one hand it may be a rose for love or even an orchid as theyre so rare and precious.

However, whilst our own hair grows and therefore renews itself, hair extensions obviously cant that’s why a great after care regime is important for ensuring your hair extensions stay looking great for as long as possible.

Washing
You need to remove knots and tangles by brushing the hair extensions before you wash your hair. Use a quality shampoo that adds strength to the hair follicle and when you apply the shampoo wash your hair in a downward manner. After your hair is rinsed dab it dry gently with a soft towel. Its important you wait until you hair is dry before brushing as this will cause further tangles and damage and if possible use a soft-bristle brush when doing so.

Conditioning
Deep conditioning is vital to maintain a healthy shine for your hair extensions, and is something you should do every week. Leave the conditioner on the hair for about 30 minutes – again smoothing in a downwards direction.


Trimming
Just like your own hair – hair extensions will invariably suffer from split ends, so its important to trim them regularly so they don’t become unruly. A good rule of thumb is to trim them every six to eight weeks however be careful you don’t take too much off or you’ll lose a lot of the length too soon. If you’re not comfortable doing this you can always make an appointment at Passion Salon!

Be careful with…
Excessive use of blow dryers, GHD’s, curling irons etc…as heating tools cause damage no matter how gently you use them. If you’re going away on holidays make sure you wear a cap when swimming as all the chlorine and salt water will cause further damage and tangling.

The final outcome is a sexy “grown out” style that gives you natural sun-kissed hues.

What is Balayage?

Balayage is a French term which can be pretty much translated as “to sweep”. The hair stylist literally sweeps a mixture of highlights from the roots to the tips. This is done freehand (as opposed to using foils or cap highlighting methods) and as the stylist works towards the tips more mixture is applied.

What’s the process?
The hair stylist paints the lightening mixture on using a brush and paddle and starting from the root they work their way to the tip in free flowing “sweeping” movements. The application depends on things like hair length and desired results – for example you may want softer, dulcet tones or more daring contrasting highlights – talk to your stylist and they’ll advise you on what suits you best.


Why would you want a “Balayage”?
As balayage is so versatile and is literally painted on you can decide not only what strands you want highlighted but also how light you want to go. The technique creates a beautiful multi tonal effect in the hair strands and gives an extra dimension to the resulting hairstyle. Many top sylists now consider balayage to be the most natural highlighting method available leaving the hair with a rich array of caramel and honey-toned hues. So if you’re looking for extra depth to your hair or that sun kissed look – then a balayage is definitely for you.

How long does it last?
The essence of balayage is to look natural and as such there’s no obvious re-growth – so usually it would last 3-4 months.

Who’s getting it done?
Balayage is one of the most popular treatments in salons right now and is a favourite for celebs such as Ashley Simpson, Jessica Biel, Alexa Chung and Gisele Bundchen.

Nothing turns heads quicker than a change in hair colour, whether its light, dark, or red. There are number of things you should discuss with your hair colour specialist such as your budget as some hair colours are higher maintenance and require frequent trips to keep your hair colour fresh such as a fashiony pink.

As belts tighten, many are tempted by hair colour kits that seem to be the cheaper option. Remember the saying “you buy cheap,you buy twice”. The colour that’s on the box may not be a true reflection due to cheap packaging etc. The result may be be darker or either lighter than the one shown in the box.

It is simply inevitable that the best way to get the optimum results you want for you and your hair, is by making an appointment with your hair colour specialist.  No matter what products you use at home, you should avoid doing the home dying if you are not trained in hair colouring services, they simply will not stand up to those of the hair colour specialist who uses products far superior to the cheap ones you can buy off the shelf.

Hair colour mistakes can be devastating and may cost you up to three times the amount of money you spent in the first place as you try to counteract your mistake. If you are worried about chemicals used in hair dyes you should talk to your hair colour specialist about INOA, which stands for Innovation No Ammonia.
