“Being the rose among the thorns means there is a lot of pressure on our Delta to look her absolute best. Delta’s va-va-voom hair do has been achieved in three separate steps. Firstly colour, Delta has had a big blonde makeover. Gone are her subtle highlights in place, she now has an all over beige blonde tone with bold panels of blonde. To achieve this look, we would firstly go through and do an all over tint in the lightest beige blonde to give that creamer, biscuity overall tone. Then we would go through and do some slices in a 100% Ammonia free powder lightener to give an angelic glow to the hair. This makes the hair pop,” Wayne Lewis, Technical Director for Original & Mineral and Colour Director for Atlantis Hair Salon.

“To give the amazing fullness and body to Delta’s hair we would look at adding hair extensions. We would keep the hair extensions from ear to ear under the crown and I would recommend using Amore hair extensions as they do great colours, which can be matched perfectly to this hair. Hair extensions are the perfect way to add volume and fullness to achieve a full thick mane of hair.

Once the extensions have been added to the hair, we would then look at cutting and blending all of the hair in together, keeping layering around the bottom and around the face starting from below the chin. To style we need to really reinforce a great support in the hair by using O&M’s Rootalicious and Surf Bomb sea salt spray to keep body in the hair. We then blow-dry the hair with a paddle brush to keep volume in the roots and smooth out the ends. Once the hair is 100% dry, curl the hair with My Curl (check). This is a great curling system for the hair that will give the perfect wave to make you ready carpet ready. When using My Curl, roll the hair, heat the hair with a flat iron but most importantly let it cool down. The longer you let it cool, the longer the style will stay. Once you remove the My Curl, rake the hair through with a wide toothcomb and let the hair fall into place. Spray to set the hair with Original Queenie, now you’re ready to be the rose among the thorns,” Alan Buki, Co-Founder for Original & Mineral and Owner for Atlantis Hair.
