Hair Talk with ... Meisi Volt

Some time ago, photographer Meisi Volt and I had a girl day - we went to the spa and hairdresser's together and spent a long afternoon in a restaurant. Although we shoot for Stellarium almost every week, we don't often have time to discuss big and smaller world things. This time, Meisi talked hair talk to me and we switched roles - I was behind the camera instead!

Meisi has been a redhead since finishing secondary school. "I experimented with blonde before that, because it was popular or something. In addition to that, a young girl shouldn't dye her hair black straight away. The next step after blonde, which didn't suit me well, was red, which stayed in my heart."

Meisi says that what captivates her about red hair, is their zest, vitality and energy. "It's a strong colour with character, and it has a tendency to turn heads. I feel it goes well with my character and nature, which is often too sharp, direct, and temperamental."

Meisi's earlier hair colour is beautiful chestnut. "I hope to return to it some time - even for a little, to find out what it felt like to be a girl with timid brown hair. I experimented with blonde in secondary school. It was a funny time, because I feared my beautiful curls at the time, and tried to straighten them every chance I had. My hair didn't care much for it, of course, and still went back to how they wanted to be."

Maarika Heering from Fashion Hair dyed Meisi's hair lighter by a shade, and framed the hair around her face with dark brown. When mixing the colours, Maarika said that she really likes it when red hair is accompanied by a slightly darker shade around the face.  Meisi was happy with the result. "Maarika approached my hair with nice creativity, changed the shade for slightly lighter and more orange. I will try to keep this line for a change, and try out lighter shades for the summer. Nice depth was added by the dark brown, which also visually adds volume to the cut."

Five hair tips from Meisi:  

1. My motto is: clean hair is the most beautiful. I avoid dry shampoos, which rather dry hair, and regardless of the brand, they make my scalp itch.  
2. I always use Kerastase's hair oil and Tigi's Bedhead after washing.  
3. I dry my hair with my head down. I also apply hairspray with my head down.
  4. When my curls are lazier in the morning, I wet my hair ends and add a little bit of Bedhead by Tigi, so my hair gets back in shape.  
5. Once a week I use hair mask.  

Meisi's hair sin: 

 "In secondary school, my desk mate said that there's no point in wasting money on hair straighteners, it can be done another way. She recommended straightening hair with an iron, which I did for a few months..."

Mõni aeg tagasi tegime koos fotograaf Meisi Voldiga tüdrukutepäeva, käisime koos SPA-s, juuksuris ja hiljem veetsime pika pärastlõuna restoranis. Kuigi pildistame Stellariumi jaoks pea iga nädal, pole meil sageli aega suuri ja väikseid maailma asju selgeks arutada. Sel korral rääkis Meisi mulle pisut juuksejuttu ja vahetasime rollid - hoopis mina olin kaamera taga!

Meisi on punapea olnud alates põhikooli lõpetamisest peale. Enne jõudis ta olla ka blondide juustega ja järgmine samm oli punane. Meisi ütleb,et punaste juuste juures võlub teda nende särtsakus, elujõulisus ja energia. Punane on tugeva ja iseloomuga värv, mis paneb alatihti ka pilke pöörama. Meisi tunneb, et see sobib ideaalselt tema iseloomu ja olemusega, mis on kohati liiga terav, otsekohene ja temperamentne.  Meisi enda juuksevärv on kaunis kastanpruun. "Loodan kunagi taas ka selle juurde naasta -  kas või natukeseks, et teada saada, mis tunne oligi olla tagasihoidlike pruunide juustega neiu. Põhikoolis katsetasin korra ka blondiga. See oli naljakas aeg, sest pelgasin siis oma kauneid lokke ning üritasin neid igal võimalusel sirgendada. Minu juuksed muidugi sellest suurt välja ei teinud ja tõmbasid ikka selliseks nagu nemad soovisid."

Fashion Hairi juuksur Maarika Heering tegi Meisi juuksed tooni võrra heledamaks ja raamis näo ümber olevad juuksed tumepruuni tooniga. Maarika ütles värve kokku segades, et talle väga meeldib, kui punaseid juukseid raamib näo ümber kergelt tugevam toon. Meisi ise jäi tulemusega rahule. "Maarika lähenes mu juustele mõnusa loominguga ning muutis tooni natukene heledamaks ja oranžikamaks. Katsun seda joont mõnda aega hoida ning suveks natukene heledamaid toone katsetada. Mõnusa sügavuse lisas soengule tumepruun, mis annab visuaalselt ka soengule kohevust juurde."

Viis Meisi juuksenippi:

1. Minu motoks on: puhas juus on kõige kaunim. Väldin kuivšampoone, mis pigem kuivatavad juukseid ja olenemata firmast tekitavad minu peanahas kihelust.

2. Kasutan pärast juuste pesemist alati kerget pisut Kerastase`i  juukseõli ja Tigi Beadheadi.

3. Föönitan juukseid pea alaspidi. Ka juukselaki kannan peale, kui juuksed on alaspidi. 

4. Kui hommikuti on lokk laisem, siis teen juukseotsad märjaks ja lisan kergelt Tigi Bedheadi, nii on mul juuksed taas vormis.

5. Nädalas korra teen maski.  

Meisi juuksepatt:

Põhikoolis ütles mu pinginaaber, et sirgendaja peale pole mõtet raha raisata, saab ka teisiti. Ta soovitas mul juukseid triikrauaga sirgendada, mida ma ka paar kuud tegin...
