Our review on Evo Fab Pro – the hottest colour conditioner in town

It’s the product taking over London, New, York, Sydney and well… the globe. But what’s the big fuss about the new Evo Fab Pro line? Let us break down this trend for you.

There’s two products to Evo Fab Pro – direct dye in salon & colour maintenance at home.

In a salon, the direct dye product is used in the very experienced and careful hands of your stylist… and you should leave it that way.

Evo Fab Pro direct dyes are mixed by your stylist to create an unlimited pallet of semi-permanent colours. Colour refresh, fills, tones, pastels, bright, trendy, natural… whatever your heart desires is up for grabs.

At home, the Evo Fab Pro colour maintenance line is a conditioner mask to keep you looking gorgeous between appointments. Because this blog is made for you, we’ll focus on the colour maintenance line and leave the direct dyes to the professionals.

They say…

Fab Pro Colour Maintenance matches ANY colour.

During your salon visit, your hairdresser can create a custom take-home colour conditioner to perfectly match your hair. Whether you’re pretty in pink, a show-stopping red, or a chocolate brown that would melt hearts, Fab Pro is the ultimate colour range.

It’s the perfect pick-me-up in between salon visits.

Armed with your tailored colour match in between appointments, Fab Pro colour maintenance conditioner should be used at least once a week to maintain your colour and keep your hair salon fresh.

It’s got no nasties.

No ammonia, peroxide, sulfates, parabens, or gluten. And it’s also vegan and created cruelty free (that means it’s only be tested on other style queens like you, and not baby bunnies).

3 minutes once a week is all you need.

The Evo team recommends 3 minutes at least once a week is the right application for Fab Pro. Seems like a simple enough add into your hair care routine.

It leaves no chunky colour build-up.

If matched correctly, the colour won’t get any more intense or darker than after your first few applications. Colour maintenance is designed to replace the colour that washes out in between direct dye applications. Only so much colour can be added to the strands before the fibre is saturaturated. Of course, this depends on your hair type.

We say…they’re right. It’s bloody brilliant.

While we think the less washes in between salon visits the better (within reason though, we all know life happens, it gets oily and dirty), we don’t see the need to use Fab Pro every wash but rather every two to three washes.

In saying that everybody’s hair is unique and will take to colour differently, so while we say not every wash, you do you boo.

When you do use Fab Pro at home, keep an eye on how well it works. The longer you leave it on, the more colour you’ll achieve. So for those of us with very porous hair, a quick fix might be all you need.

Next time you come see us at Savvy Hair Artistry chat to Taleah and our team about collecting your customised Fab Pro colour maintenance conditioner, so you can keep looking gorgeous from the moment you step out to when you come visit again.

See you soon, xx

Five Tips and tricks to get more Volume for Short Hair and Fine Hair

Do you ever start off the morning with hair volume for days, only for it to flatten out as the hours pass by? If you have short hair and just can’t seem to maintain lift and volume, we’ve got five expert tips for you to try that will infuse life back into your hair.

1. Hair extensions with volumizer for added thickness

Hair extensions are the fastest, easiest way to add thickness and length to your hair in as little as five minutes. For short hair, be sure to choose a set that is thicker than your actual hair type to ensure that the extensions blend in seamlessly with the shorter ends of your hair. Savvy Hair can point you in the right direction to order the perfect extension you as well as providing you with a hair tutorial on how to put them in.

Add in a volumizer

For that mega volume, we usually like to take it a step further by adding in a Volumizer Weft, this is a single, 4-clip weft, which adds 45g of added volume to your hair. When wearing the Volumizer Weft. Simply stack this this weft onto the weft clipped in at the widest part of your head. Stacking the wefts in this way will reduce bulk at the back of your head, only leaving you with thick, volumized, cascading hair.

2. Dry Shampoo

There’s a reason why your hair looks fluffy and voluminous when you first wash it, flattening gradually until you wash it again. Our scalp produces natural oils called sebum, which protect your hair and scalp, keeping them moisturized. These natural oils also protect the scalp from bacterial infection, forming a barrier from disease carrying bacteria. While sebum provides loads of benefits for the hair and scalp, a downside to these natural oils is that they weigh down the hair at the roots, resulting in flat, lifeless hair until your next wash. A solution? Dry shampoo.

Dry shampoo is a quick, effective way to banish greasy roots and oily hair, reviving style and volume instantly. Simply separate your hair section by section, sprinkle in a bit of dry shampoo, rub the product into your roots, and watch your hair come back to life. For an extra bit of zhoosh, flip your hair upside down, and apply dry shampoo to the roots underneath your head as well. We have a selection of the perfect dry shampoo for your hair needs.

3. Texturizing spray

Texturizing spray is our little secret for that tousled, model-off-duty look. Whether you’re wearing your hair short or with extensions clipped in, texturizing spray adds an airiness to the hair for that perfectly undone finish. Use your fingers to feather through your hair and spray the texturizing spray from the midshaft to ends, avoiding the roots. Scrunch the hair, and you’re done!

Our favorite texturizing spray is the Savage Panache from loreal Professional, gives you the perfect volume all day that leaves your hair looking like a 10 all day long. If you’re looking to splurge a bit more, opt for the Pureology wind tossed Texturizing Spray, which preserves moistures in the hair while adding shine and definition. 

4. Change your part

Your hair strands eventually get used to the same part, falling flat over time. In order to maintain volume at the roots, it’s a good idea to switch up your hair part every now and again. If you usually part your hair in the middle, try flipping your hair to the side. If you usually part your hair on the side, part your hair on the opposite side, and watch your hair instantly lift itself.

5. Tease your hair

Teasing your hair forces the roots to stand upright, adding instant lift and volume. Using either a teasing brush or large paddle brush, (which we sell at Savvy Hair Artistry )separate your hair section by section, backcombing the hair at the roots. Finish off with some light hold hair spray, then lightly brush over the top of your hair to smoothen down any tangles.
