Colorgraphics 2 – a fresh look at hair lightening

Are you thinking about lightening your hair – and want to add some great tones at the same time?

Well, I’d recommend that you think about trying the Colorgraphics 2® highlighting system from Matrix.

edge hair offers Matrix colorgraphics 2!

Not only does this product give you a great hair tone, but the Pro-vitamin B5 in the lightener along with Omega 3 and 6 in the pigments conditions your hair in one operation.

Colorgraphics 2 is great for both virgin and previously coloured hair, giving a stunning blonde finish. Your hair colour remains more consistent, with a silky-smooth feel that you’ll love.

Colorgraphics 2 is available in any one of six signature blonde tones, ranging from cool violet to warm strawberry – each with its own unique fragrance, like bananas, strawberries, even spearmint!

Why not ask me for a consultation to see if you can benefit from this great product.

It’s been a busy month – as well as taking my final college exams, I attended Matrix’s advanced colour and understanding reds course. This was an amazing and enjoyable course. It gave me an overview of the full product range and a real insight into the latest products that Matrix has available.

I’m looking forward to working with these Matrix products to really enhance my colour styling. Remember to ask me about what will work best for you.

A big part of providing a great service to my clients is to make sure I’m up to the minute with my styling and techniques. Matrix – a product I’ve always used and get great results with – hosted a roadshow, showcasing fashion-based cuts, colour and styles for this year.

It was an amazing experience and I’ll be using a lot of what I’ve learnt. Make sure you don’t miss out!

Hair and Beauty North West Area – Finals!

Blackpool Hair and Beauty - here I am representing edge mobile hair at the North West Area finals!

How would you like this for your next cut?

Only joking – this was my entry for the Fantasy Avant Garde section of the show. Mel is modeling my “sci-fi” style. This tooks ages to get right, involving body paint, silver spray a neat little costume as well as a style that took an awful lot of thought to sort out!

I took Mel’s natural dark hair and wove in silver extensions to create a basket weave look at the sides. The globe on top was constructed using real hair extensions around a frame to add drama to the “outer space” theme. I plaited synthetic hair into the back of Mel’s hair, creating a mist/cloudy effect.

For my first showing at a national competition like this, it was great to be in the top 20 out of 75 entries. Out of this world!

Level 3 competition win!

I’m at South Cheshire College part time, working towards my assessor award – which will help new hairdressers develop their skills.

I've won - my team came first in the level 3 hair competition at South Cheshire College!

As part of the course, we have to take part in competitions to push our creativity way beyond what we would have to do in our day to day work. It’s great fun – but really hard work.

I was really pleased that my team won – there were some amazing creations on show and its great to see such talent coming through.

I’ll show some of the work in another article – keep watching!
