tigi training sessions at fore hair: colour trip.

"HOW FAR WILL YOU GO?"

  Being a hairdresser we are always wanting to try all the new techniques and hair trends coming up. So yesterday was like a hairdressers dream, being surrounded by a rainbow of colour dyes and models with blonde locks.... The colour choice was endless.
​Colour Trip is a range of bright semi permanent colours brought out by TIGI COPY RIGHT COLOUR. The best thing about this range is you can mix different colours to make your own perfect shade, so you could go daring with an electric blue or play a little safer with cotton candy peach- TIGI are calling this 'colour cocktailing'.
​We had two amazing models, Caroline and our very own senior stylist Chloe Macdonald.
Both of their hair started off light, Chloe's was previously lightened using TIGI True light and Caroline had a full head of natural white hair.

We were wanting to try out some of the pastel formulations and we came up with creating hidden rainbow unicorn hair along with a subtle violet and baby blue hue.
​

CHLOE- hidden rainbow unicorn hair:

We had all seen the hidden rainbow affect all over social media and thought we'd try it out! We aimed to create a pastel rainbow hidden by a violet hue surrounding. 

To create Chloe's hair we first had to tone the blonde that she already had. Chloe's hair was originally a warm blonde and we had to tone it so it was cooler and more ashy, this means the colours would come out more clean and accurate. 
We then went through and used TIGI ribbon pop sectioning technique and applied the colour trip colours.

Then we applied the violet hue on the surrounding hair, to create this colour we mixed pale violet with clear. 

CAROLINE - violet and baby blue hues:

Now here's one for all those less daring with their colours. Subtle but effective!
Caroline's line of work effects the colours that she could have, which gave us the chance to try something more subtle. In the end we decided a pastel colour melt with her favorite colours would suit her best. 
First of all we had to wash Caroline's hair with TIGI's violet toning shampoo- fashionista, this helped with keeping her naturally white hair fresh.
Then we went through and sectioned the hair using TIGI's contouring technique, applying the violet at the roots and mid lengths and the baby blue towards the ends. Then finally on the surrounding hair we took through the violet.
