**Fast Hairdressing vs. Slow Hairdressing**

Fast hairdressing is like fast food. It's designed to be done quickly and cheaply, which means that corners are often cut. The results may look good initially, but they won't last long. In the end, you'll end up spending more money on repairs and touch-ups.

Slow hairdressing is like slow food. It's made with care and attention to detail, using the best ingredients. The results may take longer to achieve, but they will be worth it in the end. Your hair will be healthier, shinier, and more manageable.

Here is an example of how fast and slow hairdressing can be compared:

* **Fast hairdressing:** The stylist may use large, spaced foils and a concentrated chemical to lift the hair color quickly. This can damage the hair and or cause the roots to appear faster.
* **Slow hairdressing:** The stylist uses small foils, more of them and a gentler chemical to lift the hair colour slowly. This is less damaging to the hair and results in a more natural-looking colour that lasts longer.

Ultimately, the best type of hairdressing for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you're looking for a quick and cheap fix, then fast hairdressing may be the right choice for you. But if you're willing to invest in your hair health and want the best possible results, then slow hairdressing is the way to go.

P.s I’m Slow 💙
P.p.s Because I love you

MERMAID Vibes!! 💙

Scattered Teasy-Lights shimmering throughout the full-head like sunshine had literally just fallen and poured itself on to my dear friend

It has been well over a year, maybe even two! So this colouring process, with no toner, and a haircut took 5hours.

Feeling lighter over here! 💙

6months of regrowth no more!
We did- Half head of foils, plus Tip-outs for that extra brightness! No toner and a complete restyle haircut.

Todays forecast is much BRIGHTER!! ☀️
