Alexandra Reeder Hair

Where do we startttt….👇🏼

Blonde brassy ends, a warm band through the middle, natural regrowth... and we don’t want to be blonder we want to be cleaner…✨

We want to be that expensive blonde 🤏🏼🤏🏼

We’re keeping the brightness around her face because she still wants to feel blonde, breaking up that warm band, adding a few lowlights and getting rid of that block blonde that’s driving her mad!

And we are giving it THE chop!!

BUTTTT she’s been using SUN IN!!! FYI Every hairdressers worse nightmare 😅

Pray for me and lets see how this goes…..🤎

This is exactly why I’m always banging on about sectioning… 👇🏼

It’s not that I think the traditional foiling pattern is wrong as such…

But because if you’re constantly getting foil lines, stripes or random dark patches throughout, at some point you’ve got to ask yourself why…

Most of us were taught to go straight up the sides and through the parting with thick weaves and just crack on basically. I was too 😅

The problem is, if you can literally map out where every foil has been... your client and anyone who’s seeing their hair can too 🫠

Scalp Pivoting Sectioning wasn’t created because I decided I wanted to reinvent foiling one day. I created it because I was sick of seeing hairdressers blaming literally everything else without realising their sectioning is working against the head shape!

You can still stack foils. You can put less foils in. You can still customise every blonde. You can still create loads of impact, or less impact.

If you’ve watched this and thought FORRRR F**K SAKEEEEE😂...

Then I think you already know you need Scalp Pivoting Sectioning 🫶🏼🤎

HERE SHE ISSSSS…🔥

Honestly... this is why I bloody love keratin bondssss

Leah wanted to walk out feeling sexy and I think we ticked that box 😂

One thing Ito bare in mind, if your keratin bonds feel tight, pull every time you move your hair or feel like they’re actually in your skulllll… they’re not meant to 😭

You’ll see I don’t fit mine right up against the scalp because they need room to move. Keratin bonds should have full 360 movement. They’re need to be able to move with your natural hair!

Also... these aren’t my usual hand tipped bonds. They’re factory bonds that I’ve cut down. Not everything needs to be hand tipped. However Leah’s next refit these will be hand tipped

Anywayssss, can we all just appreciate that before and after 😮‍💨🤎

One thing I’ll never do is just colour for one style…

Hear me out…👇🏼

Let’s be honest... how many of us actually wear our hair in one style 24/7?

Everyday clients chuck their hair up, wear it down, wear it half up half down etcccc. So if I left the back of leah’s hair dark and only brightened the front... she’d be really blonde round the front and look really dark at the back. When she pulled her hair forward she’d also see all the darker hair!

Hairdressers, you’ll also notice I didn’t tease her face frame. She didn’t want soft. She wanted impact. So baby slices straight from the root was my go to!

And yes... im using a mohawk section again 😂
You know I don’t preach using one all the time, but this is exactly when I would. It’s a mini freshen up, so it’s minimal work for maximum impact. The extensions are about to dd most of the colour anyway!

This proves their isn’t just one technique fits all!

Come back tomorrow for PART 2 because the extensions completely finish this look and I’m OBSESSED 🤎

I NEED TO WALK OUT HERE FEELING SEXY…

I GOT YOU 🔥

Leah has been coming to me for years, but we still have full blown consultation with every appointment!

These extensions had definitely lived their best life, so it was time for them to get in the bin

The goal was to brighten round her face and through her parting, with not forgetting the global hair line lightening either. And get everything ready for holiday and make sure when she throws her hair up she’s blonde ALL over... not just at the front because that really isn’t the vibe 😭

Then it’s fresh 20inch keratin extensions!!

If she comes back and these extensions are orange or pink from suncream... we’re going to have words 😂

Part 2 tomorrow 🤎

POV: you’ve always been told you’d never find hair extensions to match your natural texture…

UNTIL NOW 👇🏼

I only fitted the extensions on this one, the colour was done by 🤎

One of the biggest things I hear are my wavy and curly girls having to wear their hair straight because they can only get factory made straight hair, or permed extensions

I was actually held in a chokehold wearing my hair straight for years for that exacccct reason too!!

The hair I use is single donor, which means I can match different hair textures way better than factory extension hair!

Then I hand tip all of my keratin bonds and customise the placement to you, your lifestyle and how you wear it

What’s the point in having extensions if you can’t tie your hair up at the gym, or wear it naturally ??

Extensions should NEVER look like extensions. They should just look like your hair... but better 🔥

If you’ve spent years like I did thinking that you can’t match your curl and texture, trustttttt me YOU CAN 🫶🏼

Can you believe I got bullied for having thick brows for years and now they’re one of my favourite features? 😭

I’ve been seeing Holly for Korean lash lifts and brow laminations for a while now and honestly, I don’t think I could go back.

They’re gentler on your natural lashes, the grow out is way nicer and everything just looks softer and fluffier instead of giving slightly shocked spider vibes 💀

Holly also uses the same Korean system on my brows, which is probably why they still feel like actual hair afterwards.

Anyway, she’s got me trialling an auburn brow tint and I’m not gonna lie... I’m kinda feeeeeling it 🤎

Who thinks tinting your brows weekly should be a thing? Because I feel like its going on my self care list 😭
