Meet The Stylist: Hollie

Hello  Hollie,

So when did you decide to expand your skills and take up a hair extension course?

About 2 years ago. I love playing around and creating different looks so I decided I can do that with extensions as well. Whether you want short hair or long hair! 

What do you enjoy about doing peoples hair extensions?

Well, being able to give them the hairstyle that they have been looking for and seeing the transformation at the end!

What sort of looks can you achieve from using hair extensions?

All sorts, you can use extensions for more thickness, length, added colour, if you fancy a change but don’t want to touch your own hair and also to accessorise to make bigger plaits/braids or hair ups.

 

From Hollies experience we can see and really feel the love for hairdressing expressed in her answers. If you, like Hollie are dreaming of making you’re passion a reality then don’t stop until you make it happen! And remember hair styling is all about keeping beautiful luscious locks in healthy and good condition. If your hair is thin or lacking in colour or both then why not give extensions a go!? You might end up loving it as much as our stylists do!…

We hope as always that this interview style blog has given you some inspiration to flourish in your hair endeavours be it a career or simply wanting to have the best hair in town. “I think that the most important thing a woman can have- next to talent, of course- is her hairdresser.” ― Joan Crawford

Tune in to see which stylist we meet next…

The Ultimate Hair Type Guide – Curly Hair

We’re back with another one: all the ladies with spiral curls stand up! There’s no doubt that this hair is a little high maintenance. Type three hair is described as having a tight, springy curl pattern, with the strand usually forming an ‘S’ shape. Although having a tendency to frizz, type three hair has a lot of body and few detangling problems. This hair usually suffers from dryness due to it’s full-bodied texture. Remember the sebum oil from part one? Well, this isn’t heavy enough to reach past the curls of a single strand. Lack of proper care results in dull curls, so it’s best to keep this hair as healthy and happy as you can; one wrong move could leave you with greasy, weighed-down curls.
