Who Fancies a Crazily Coloured Christmas?!

'White Rabbits' to one & all! And as November brings chilly weather & the central London shops begin to take on the appearance of a Winter Wonderland; we at Daniel Galvin start to think of Christmas and all the fab parties we will be preparing you for!!!

Autumn / Winter trends start to fill the salon as we create all manner of fabulous chic 'dos for our ever-fashion-conscious clients. Having scoured the fashion mags for the most trendy hairstyles, we've noticed the reappearance of one fabulous trend: CRAZY COLOUR.

Judging by our favourite celebrities’ locks at the moment, people are being more adventurous with the colours they choose. One of our talented colourists, Charlotte recommends either ‘Colour in Flashes,’ small clip-in hair pieces which can embellish your ‘do, or just a beautifully styled wig. That way you can pick and choose how colourful you feel!



However, (not to appear petulant but...)this colourful approach is nothing new! Daniel Galvin created ‘Crazy Colour’ in 1967. He says: “I developed Crazy Colour in order to shock people into considering any sort of colour in their hair. In those days, people merely used to colour their hair to cover their grey; it wasn’t seen as a fashion statement. I started dying hair bright colours using nylon dye, however, in the late ‘60s Zandra Rhodes came into the salon & suggested silk dye, which she used to make her silk prints. From here we then experimented with a chemist, using dye and emulsifying wax powder. This created bright and long-lasting colour. By the time the punks got hold of ‘Crazy Colour’, we had made our point but I’m thrilled that the look appears to be catching on again!”
