It seemed right to start the new year with a new look. So I was very enthusiastic and overly excited about my hair makeover at the Lakme Absolute Salon. After scheduling an appointment with their stylist (who asked me if I wanted to also colour my hair) I scoured through pinterest to find styles that I liked and at the same time consulted family and close friends to settle on a colour. Since I'm obsessed with purple, and it was a part of their lookbook, my mind was set on it. Also, you can win your own free hair makeover by commenting below and telling me why you think #HairIsFashion.
Contest runs till next Thursday (29th Jan) and is applicable to participants who reside in Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune & Kolkata.
On the day of my appointment, I went along with Sheehan and Patrick to their Bandra salon, and had a final look at their lookbook as well as spoke to my stylist in detail. There I learned that the colour I wanted was actually not available and they gave me an option to reschedule my appointment so that they could get the colour for me. But I was too anxious to reschedule and that would result into me going crazy over Pinterest again, so we decided against it. While Sheehan and I discussed about colours, my stylist managed to arrange for the last remaining bits of purple and talked me into a red+purple combination that would result into a nice colour combination. I was completely sold on that. There was a time when I was doing my A-Levels and I was bit of a rebel then, and I had red and purple streaks in my hair, so I was happy to re-visit and reminisce those days. Also instead of streaks, we decided to go ombre and colour just my lower tips. In addition to colour, we decided I needed a trim and some new layers to frame my face and add more volume at the same time sticking with my original length. And so we began.

After bleaching and drying. Bleach is known to make hair dry and needs extra care.

Adding the final touches.
And Voila!
And here is my colour in the sun. It always shows much better during the day - like a nice bright pink-red while at other times it's a shade of burgundy.

Wowie. A beautiful hair makeover. ;) Well I've never done hair colouring so I'm not really sure as to what colour would suit me but I really loved yours. :)
ReplyDeleteI think #HairIsFashion coz its just our hair which can make or break a look. For me my Hair is my most precious jewel that I can never part away with. Actually its just a girl's hair which adds to her natural beauty. We can experiment so much with our hair. So yeah #HairIsFashion in true sense. ;)
Would so love to win it. :)

#HairIsFashion because its long its short , wavy or straight, colored or grey , Messy or neat . As there is a shoe for every outfit there is a hairstyle for the same . Fashion defines your personality ,Hair defines You
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things that can be done to your hair in terms of making it look fashionably. I've had it permed when I was younger and straightened so many times, and I've gone from shoulder length to a bob as well and there are still many other endless possibilities. And that's why #HairIsFashion
ReplyDelete#HairIsFashion because it is a gateway to happiness, composure and certainty. Isn't that all a virtuous woman needs! :D
ReplyDeletewow that makeover,really amazing how you still have the length and volume after the haircut!
ReplyDeleteHonestly my hair means everything and its one and only resort to pulling off any outfit ,be it the shabbiest combo of t-shirts and shorts too. My hair is my fashion,i'm not into jewellery or make up as much as i am into maintaining my hair,so much so that i have never let anyone straighten it with a iron! im more of the traditional 'oil you hair' kinda girl
Hair definitely is fashion,you can have almost all kinds of hair cuts at least once in your life.It brings out the SEXY in a woman ,builds up your self confidence !! (especially when your dancing ) and I think your hair can make you look pretty even if you have no make up or expensive clothes and well if u lucky enough to have it all, your hair is just an additional bonus and enhancement to ur good looks.
Ufff,What would i do without my hair !!

Most people don't pay much attention to their hair and always skip it or settle for regular hairdos when it comes to dressing up but I think #HairIsFashion and should require an equal amount of time when dressing up.
ReplyDeleteThe purple tips would have looked awesome on you, but I think this is pretty cool as well.

I cherish my hair and get so possessive when anyone touches it and only trust it to the professionals. #hairidfashion because you may be dressed up from head to toe in the best, but when you don't pay attention to your hair, it's useless.
ReplyDeleteI would love to colour my hair red.

Hair is fashion because I'm always excited to try new trends and styles for my hair just as I like trying new clothing trends.

#HairIsFashion - Because hair represents our personality and one wrong cut/ part/ color/ style can make you look 'not yourself'. And with 'not-urself-kinda-hair' you can attract 'not-your-kind' of friends/ acquaintances and what not. You see ....how much it matters, it almost changes lives **wink wink**

Everyone knows how obsessed I am about my own hair. Hair is fashion because you can transform your hair into whatever you want, however you want. I'm looking forward to getting streaks and lots of layers in my hair.

I used to always wear my hair down, in a single hairstyle. I never experimented or did nything. Then I started watching a few youtube vids and I saw all the cool things you can actually do wid your hair. And that's when I realised #HAIRISFASHION.
ReplyDeleteNow I'd like to get a great haircut and colour my hair some cool colour.

After growing up as a tomboy with a blunt hair cut, I'm ready to experiment with my virginal hair. Now of course my then hair cut is "fashionable" as the whole androgyny thing is big. Maybe I'll go back to it. #HairIsFashion because whether you like it or not, it does contribute to your entire look in every way possible and there's no escaping.

#HairISFashion is something every girls knows and lives by. I know I do. I've always taken good care of my hair and my salon visits are also monthly. I really like the ombre effect and would like to give it a try.

First things first.. Love the color :) it's my favorite.. #HairIsFashion because for me when my hair looks good, i feel confident! My haircut and color is an extension of myself and my qualities. Your hair can say a lot about you and people can perceive you in the way you want them too. I have experimented with haircuts and I can say that everytime I had a different haircut, I looked different and people assumed I looked cute, i had attitude, etc. HAIR DEFINES YOU.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try a different ombre color this time
