    Skin Reaction

    No, he said not, just the spot where I put the colour, which I was very surprised about. I should see him this week, unless he takes my advice to leave his hair alone for a little longer.

    Skin Reaction

    Hi can anyone recommend a sky blue colour? It’s for a young man so minimum upkeep if possible. It’s going on over bleach as his natural base is 5.

    Trimmer and clipper preference?

    My go to has always been wahl super taper. I tried 5 star by wahl last time but they aren’t for me, I’m in the process of returning them to see if they are faulty. I’ve also tried Andis but they aren’t all that.

(Obviously closed now) My hair always has a warm root, I’m naturally red, so my dilemma is, I’m old school.
