Fashion Line Comparison: Eleven Australia, Pravana, Pulp Riot

I also wanted to try out a head to head comparison of Eleven Australia’s fashion line. The swatches in the book indicate a super vibrant result in red, orange, and violet. I don’t know if I mixed mine wrong or my starting swatches weren’t the same shade (I did use level 10 swatches, but thereContinue reading “Fashion Line Comparison: Eleven Australia, Pravana, Pulp Riot”

Lilla Rose hair accessories

I’ve been sitting on how I wanted to make this introduction for a while. A few years ago I bought some of these hair clips on a whim from someone at a flea market, and I still have every one and they show no real signs of wear or tear. I always get compliments whenContinue reading “Lilla Rose hair accessories”

Full extension install: One Step Weft and I-Tip

A while back I got certified in I-tip extensions because I wanted a way to add quick and easy pops of color for guests without having to use chemicals.

Reds in real life

I was due for a color change anyway and this provided me a great opportunity to also test out some colors. These colors were all applied at the same time on February 15.

Sunday March 14 is Daylight Saving Time

Every spring, Daylight Saving time always seems to sneak up on us. I feel like it’s two weeks in a row of saying “I can’t believe it’s already almost time to spring forward, I’m not looking forward to losing an hour” and then a week or two of complaining about the hour of sleep weContinue reading “Sunday March 14 is Daylight Saving Time”

Red series comparisons: Eleven, Pravana, Redken Shades EQ

This is part two of my color line comparisons. Don’t forget to check out Part 1. Most color lines are good at the basics like your naturals and golds, but when you get into coppers and reds some of them just fall flat.

Leaf and Flower shampoo/conditioner follow up

Back on December 16 I introduced you to the Leaf and Flower line I brought into my suite.
