An incredible before and after full colour correction transformation from Taleisha du Plooy. Click the image below to view the Instagram post. Today I had the pleasure of working on a gorgeous client who wanted to go back to a light blonde after some dark box color adventures. Here’s the journey we took to get her hair back to that beautiful blonde: 1️⃣ Test Strand - First, we did a test strand to ensure everything would lift properly and avoid any reactions when applying the lighter color. 2️⃣ AIRTOUCH Application - We did a full back-to-back AIRTOUCH technique, followed by toning the hair that was blown out, to create the perfect base. 3️⃣ FibreClinix Deep Treatment - A deep treatment to keep the hair feeling amazing and strong throughout the process. 💆‍♀️ 4️⃣ Root Tap - We added a root tap for a seamless blend. 5️⃣ Glaze - A full-glaze to even out the color and give that perfect shine. 6️⃣ Hydration Mask - Finally, a luxurious hydration mask to seal the deal and leave her hair feeling soft and nourished. 💧 Stylist: Taleisha du Plooy Products: Schwarzkopf Professional Salon: Hair.OCITY Hair Salon Follow Taleisha on Facebook @hairbytillysa @hairocity_sa We'd love to feature your work!

Introducing  Sequin Hair , an innovative technique created by master colorist Sam of Bee Sam Beauty in Vancouver, Washington. Sam has developed a unique way to add dazzling sparkle to your hair that goes beyond traditional methods like fairy tinsel or iron-on hair crystals. Sequin hair is designed to be small, durable, and washable, making them safe for everyday wear and even heat styling with a blow dryer. Unlike temporary glitter glued into your hair, these sequins are seamlessly intertwined into the hair, allowing them to last longer and be easily removed when you’re ready for a change. Perfect for any occasion, from weddings and proms to holiday parties or sports-themed events, these customizable glittering strands add a touch of magic to your hairstyle. History of Sequins Sequins have a history that dates back to ancient times, with their name derived from the Italian word  zecchino , meaning a gold coin used in 16th-century Venice. Originally made from precious metals like gold and silver, sequins were used to adorn clothing, symbolizing wealth and status. Over time, they transitioned to more affordable materials like glass and plastic, becoming a popular fashion embellishment. By the 20th century, sequins were widely used in both high fashion and everyday wear, adding sparkle and glamour to various garments and accessories. Today, they remain a beloved decorative element in fashion. The Next Chapter of Sequins: Woven Directly Into the Hair Bee Sam sequin hair takes the classic fashion accessory to new heights by seamlessly integrating sequins directly into the hair. This innovative technique, created by master colorist Sam of Bee Sam Beauty, transforms ordinary hairstyles into shimmering works of art, adding a touch of sparkle that lasts longer than traditional methods. With sequins woven into each strand, this trend offers a unique way to incorporate glittering embellishments into everyday hair, elevating any look for special occasions or simply adding extra shine to your style.
