So this past Monday I decided to take some of the day off, to go get my hair done. I’ve had this shoulder length hairstyle for almost 3 years, and even though I sometimes do miss my long hair I really feel liked I’ve found “my” hairstyle. You know what I mean? Anywho, this time around I decided to get my colour refreshed as well, It’s been more than 1,5 years since last time I got my hair dyed professionally, and often I end up just doing it myself. I usually buy a blonde colour at the store, and then I apply a tiny amount at the very tips of my hair and then a few random strands here and there. This gives a very natural sunkissed looking result, and I don’t have to do it very often since the transition between my natural hair colour and the hair dye isn’t noticeable. I usually end up dying my hair maybe 2 times a year which is not only healthier because it’s not that often, it also looks much more natural. Unfortunately I have yet to discover a natural way of bleaching your hair besides using lemons during summer (which only gives a very subtle result) and otherwise I know Lush makes these natural and packagefree henna dye bars, which have gotten great reviews. But these are only suitable for you if you want brown, dark or red hair. Just a couple tips on how to dye your hair naturally with a minimal amount of waste.Ā
I mandags tog jeg mig den frihed, at kĆøre et smut til frisĆøren og fĆ„ frisket mit hĆ„r op. Jeg har haft denne skulderlange frisure i snart 3 Ć„r, og selvom jeg nogle gange kan savne det helt lange hĆ„r, sĆ„ fĆøler jeg virkelig jeg har fundet “min” frisure. Kender I ikke det? Anywho, jeg besluttede mig denne gang for ogsĆ„, at fĆ„ frisket farven lidt op. Det er over halvandet Ć„r siden jeg sidst fik mit hĆ„r farvet professionelt – ofte gĆør jeg det faktisk bare selv. Jeg kĆøber gerne en blond farve, pĆ„fĆører lidt i spidserne og et par tilfƦldige, tynde lokker rundt omkring i hĆ„ret. Det giver det der lidt sunkissed resultat, og oveni det sĆ„ er det ikke noget jeg behĆøver gĆøre sƦrlig tit, fordi jeg ikke som sĆ„dan fĆ„r nogen udgroning. SĆ„ jeg farver mĆ„ske max mit hĆ„r 2 gange om Ć„ret, hvilket ikke kun er sundere for hĆ„ret men ogsĆ„ gĆør, at det ser meget mere naturligt ud. Jeg er desvƦrre ikke stĆøt pĆ„ en naturlig mĆ„de, at lysne sit hĆ„r pĆ„ (endnu) udover at bruge citroner om sommeren (det giver et meget diskret resultat), og ellers sĆ„ ved jeg at Lush laver emballage fri og naturligĀ henna hĆ„rfarve som har fĆ„et ret gode anmeldelser, men igen sĆ„ kan disse kun bruges hvis man Ćønsker brunt, mĆørkt eller rĆødt hĆ„r. Bare et par tips til mere naturlig hĆ„rfarve med mindre spild.
I always save some photos on my phone so I’m prepared (it is afterall me we are talking about) and I always save a lot of inspiration on my Pinterest as well. My favourite hairstylist to follow is the Beverly Hills based Anh Co tran, who is the man behind the lived in hair concept. I always check out his Instagram before going to the hairdresser! I usually ask for a long bob and if I’m getting a dye too it’s often a balayage I choose. Balayage is a technic where you “paint” the colour onto the hair strands, and it gives a very natural result. If you are p for a colour that requires as minimal maintenance as possible and that actually gets more and more beautiful the more it grows out of your hair, this is the thing for you, haha!
Jeg har altid et par billeder med mig nĆ„r jeg skal til frisĆøren (det er jo mig vi snakker om), og jeg gemmer altid en masse inspiration ovre pĆ„ min Pinterest. Min yndlings stylist er iĆøvrigt den Beverly Hills baserede Anh Co Tran, som er manden bag udtrykket lived in hair.Ā Hans Instagram tjekker jeg altid ud nĆ„r jeg skal til frisĆøren! Jeg beder som regel om en lang page og hvis jeg skal have det farvet, sĆ„ bliver det oftest en balayage farve. Balayage er en teknik hvor frisĆøren “maler” farven pĆ„ hĆ„ret, hvilket giver et super fint og naturligt resultat. Hvis du gerne vil have en farve der krƦver sĆ„ lidt vedligeholdelse som muligt og faktisk bliver flottere jo mere den gror ud, sĆ„ er det her lige noget for dig, haha!
This time around I got myself a beige blonde balayage, which looks super natural and is very close to my own hair colour. The hairdresser applied a beige toner in my hair afterwards, just to make sure everything blended in more seamlessly and so that the transition between the blonde colour and my natural (rather dark) winter hair wouldn’t be too harsh. The blonde colour will however seem more and more light after a couple hair washes. I keep my hair routine simple: I wash my hair only 2-3 times a week with this packagefree soap from Lush, sometimes followed by this scalp treatment also from Lush and when I get out of the shower I apply a couple drops of my Meraki oil to condition it. Whenever I wash my hair it i at night time, and I let it air dry to save it from the damaging heat from the blowdryer. In the morning I will then curl a few random sections of hair and finish off with a tiny amount of wax for texture and hold, and that’s it! Halleluja for low maintenance hair, that still (if I do say so myself) looks amazing. I get my hair dyed at KIG Coiffure in Kolding (they do amazing balayage), but next time I want to see if I can find an organic hairdresser. I would like to support the concept!Ā
Denne gang fik jeg en lidt mere beige blond balayage i mit hĆ„r, som har givet et meget naturligt resultat og er meget tƦt pĆ„ min naturlige hĆ„rfarve. FrisĆøren pĆ„fĆørte en beige toner i mit hĆ„r efter farvningen, bare for at det hele blev blended fint sammen og der ikke var sĆ„ hĆ„rd en overgang mellem mit eget (ret mĆørke) vinterhĆ„r og den blonde farve, men med tiden vil de blonde highlights titte mere frem. Jeg holder min hĆ„rpleje rutine ret simpel: vasker mit hĆ„r 2-3 gange i ugen med en emballage-fri sƦbebar fra Lush, bruger indimellem en hovedbundskur (denne her) ogsĆ„ fra Lush og nĆ„r jeg kommer ud af badet pĆ„fĆører jeg et par drĆ„ber Meraki olie. NĆ„r jeg vasker mit hĆ„r er det om aftenen, og sĆ„ lader jeg det helst lufttĆørre, igen for ikke at varmebehandle mit hĆ„r mere end hĆøjst nĆødvendigt. Om morgenen krĆøller jeg sĆ„ et par tilfƦldige lokker og krammer lidt voks i bĆ„de for hold og tekstur. That’s it! Hurra for hĆ„r med minimal vedligeholdelse, der alligevel ser (hvis jeg selv mĆ„ sige det) ret sĆ„ fantastisk ud. Jeg fĆ„r iĆøvrigt mit hĆ„r ordnet ved KIG Coiffure i Kolding (de er super dygtige til balayage), men nƦste gang vil jeg prĆøve en frisĆør der specialiserer sig indenfor Ćøkologisk hĆ„rpleje. FƦrre kemikalier bĆ„de for de mennesker der er i erhvervet, men ogsĆ„ mig som kunde er helt klart noget, som jeg gerne vil bakke op om. Hvis du bor i omrĆ„det og kender Ć©n af den slags som du kan anbefale, sĆ„ sig endelig til!
Your hair looks great but thatās much more time/energy than I spend on my hair!
Thanks Lauren. š The time spend on ones hair might be arbitrary – like with everything else in life, what seems like a lot to some might not seem like a lot to others š But good for you, you must have really great looking hair naturally. xx
Mange tak ?
Ved ikke om du allerede har fundet den, men der ligger en Ćøkologisk frisĆør i Jernbanegade i Kolding. āŗļø
Det vidste jeg ikke! Tusind tak for tippet! :-* Dem mĆ„ jeg tjekke ud nƦste gang jeg skal til frisĆør š
Hi! What do you do on days that you donāt wash your hair? Do you comb them and curl them again? You donāt seem to use heat protection?
Thank you!
