Thinking of going Blonde this Summer? Here’s what you need to know!

Going blonde for the summer is a popular makeover choice for Australian women. It’s a great way to imitate (and improve on) the natural hair lightening that occurs during the hot and sunny summer months, as well as a way to signal to oneself that winter is finally over. If you’re thinking of taking the plunge, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your transformation.

The first thing you’ll need to decide is what kind of blonde to go for, as each shade will have different implications in terms of upkeep, impact as well as suitability.

SUBTLE – If you’re looking to subtly brighten your look and have dark hair you can add subtle Ombré or two-toned highlights. If you have dark skin, these chocolate and caramel shades will suit your skin tone.

NATURAL – Shades of natural blonde, such as strawberry, honey, or beige are the best picks for a natural look. If you want your hair to look like you’ve just returned from a fabulous vacation, this is for you.

BOLD – you don’t get bolder than platinum blonde. This popular shade can have an ash grey tint (with balayage), or you can make it even edgier by integrating shades of silver. This look is not for the faint hearted!

Once you’ve selected your ideal shade, get in touch with us, and get ready to look fabulous!

Brisbane’s best event stylists are ready to transform your look

Working with Brisbane’s best stylists for event worthy hair is as simple as booking an appointment witha reputable salon. Of course, if you truly want to look your best at a wedding or party, we have some advice you should follow before coming to your salon appointment. These tips will ensure that you’ll be absolutely thrilled with the end result of your styling experience.

Ask for proof

The last thing you want is to fork over your hard-earned dollars for a hairstyle that looks cheap and unattractive, or that you could have done yourself at home. Before you choose a hair stylist, ask to see previous examples of their handiwork. Or you can have a look on their Facebook or Instagram feeds.

Don’t wait until the last minute

Book an appointment with your salon the moment you’ve officially RSVP’d your attendance. This will ensure your preferred stylist is available on the day. If you have a specific style in mind, it’s a good idea to speak to your stylist in advance so they can let you know what to expect, and how longyour session will be. Taking these steps will make sure that you’re relaxed and ready hours before the event.

Be practical

Keep your event conditions in mind when thinking about a hairstyle. If you’re going to be seated in an air-conditioned venue for the duration of your evening, you can play with ornate and dramatic styles or updos. However, if you’re going to be MC’ing an event or spending time on a packed dancefloor, you’ll need a style that resists sweating, heat,and movement.

Ask for advice

Be sure to ask your stylist for pointers on how you can keep your hairstyle looking great for your entire evening, or even for a day or two. Some people get their hair done in preparation for an activity packed weekend, and with the right instruments and products could extend the lifespan of your style a bit longer, which means you’ll get to enjoy great hair for days.

Follow the above tips and you can look forward to great, selfie worthy hair at your upcoming event, without any of the usual stress or fuss.

Why choose non-traditional Keratin hair straightening?

Every person wants to enjoy a lifetime’s worth of good hair days, but when your hair is uncontrollable, tangled or dull looking, tending to it and styling it can become a chore.

If you’re sick of hours spent taming your hair into submission with complicated and expensive hair products and tools, you’ve probably considered undergoing a traditional keratin straightening treatment. However, did you know that non-traditional straightening treatments can be a better option?

The safer alternative to keratin smoothing treatment in Brisbane

Traditional keratin hair treatments make your hair straight and flat, and can also make your hair soft, smooth and more manageable. A traditional keratin straightening treatment works by breaking down the bonds in your hair to straighten them. Once this is done, your hair is smoother and straighter, and you will also experience shorter drying and styling times and less frizz, even in rainy or humid weather.

However, one area that traditional treatments fall short in is in dealing with damaged hair. Some people even find that a keratin straightening treatment leads to more knots and breakage, as well as general damage. It’s for this reason that people with very curly hair, recently bleached/dyed hair, or unhealthy hair are discouraged from a keratin treatment, or are cautioned to expect less dramatic results.

Another potential pitfall when using a keratin straightening treatment is that many of these treatments contain formaldehyde, which is a potentially carcinogenic ingredient. You will also need to make sure that the salon and hairdresser applying the product are trained in working with the product in question.

We strongly advise against attempting to do your own keratin treatment at home!

Hair straightening treatments that leave your hair healthy and radiant

If you’re ever in Brisbane, you can always visit ROKSTAR Hair for a non-traditional keratin straightening treatment. We personally recommend and offer the AGI Keratin Straightening treatment, as it comprises of silk proteins and amino acids to aid the hair and its health.

Our keratin smoothing treatment also lasts longer and has a shorter processing time, meaning you can enjoy the benefits of having sleek hair immediately. Best of all, it doesn’t contain any formaldehyde.

As it’s a treatment that works with colour treated, processed, and damaged hair, we recommend it as a great alternative to most traditional hair straightening treatments currently being offered on the market.
