“Wow, look at that hair,” was how José Molino, at Neville Hair and Beauty greeted me when I recently visited the salon. He couldn’t believe how quickly it had grown and what good condition it was in.
It was only a few months ago that I put my over-processed hair into José’s capable
hands. He told me that he was only going to put a few highlights into my hair
and that has dramatically improved its health. So, thanks to him, I’ve now got
longer tresses, a current trend.
Since my last visit,
when I touched on the subject of hair looking different in various
types of lighting,
I’ve been paying attention to other people’s hair to see the
effect on different shades of hair. I had noticed that I was getting too much
warmth through in daylight. “The light in November and December tends to be
greyer than in January and February, when it tends to be brighter and clearer.
So, it will make your hair seem a different colour,” José told me.
The remedy was to take out the extra warmth and readjust the
colour. One thing I have learned from José is that you always have to keep
adjusting your hue as the light changes. The colour that looks right in
September may not look right in December unless you slightly change it.
“It just gets better and better,” José said looking at the
finished result created by my stylist, Sam Snell. She had worked with my hair’s
natural texture to create a lovely “big hair” look, which as I moved, showed
off the colour.
