I know hair is personal preference but gosh, I hope "horizontal stripes" aren't the next big trend. It looks like a mistake! Like you highlighted your hair but the ends didn't take and your roots grew out massively! It's good that it's subtle though. But it doesn't look "natural" or "sunkissed" the way it did before with your dark roots and the gradual fade into lighter ends. That's the way hair naturally looks when it's sunbleached, after all, not a random ring round your head.
As much as I love Hesters style, I think for a hairdresser her hair looks in really bad condition which isnt great when you go in as a client. I think the colour she used was nice and its an interesting technique but I don't know if it's anything I'd actually pay for. I think a mixture of light and dark does suit you when it's subtle though :)
Those shops look amazing! I personally don't like that hair colour technique I think it looks obvious with the stripes of colour. I think it looked much better before with the lighter ends and brightened up your face more. But hey if you're happy who am I to say anything...
I enjoyed your vlog, but the stripe effect seems like it would be better on curly hair for a subtle highlight. Otherwise, a more obvious contrast in color and cut.
Horizontal stripes sounds like the most terrifying thing you want to run away from when it comes to hair dye, when she mentioned it I was just imagining grown out roots/scene kid hair but im glad the results were super subtle and not at all what I was imagining
I really expected your hair to be a "wow" the salon looked beautiful & the hair stylists seemed to be very knowledgeable but I didn't like the end result. The colour looked weird to me very washed out & there was a step of colour at the front. I love wella but your hair still looked dry at the end. Great vlog though Amsterdam looked great. Can't wait for PFW vlog
I loved the look of your hair it is so subtle but lovely. The little snippets of Amsterdam and the shops has made me so excited for when I go in few months. xx
I'm from New Zealand and I've been lucky enough to go to Amsterdam a couple of times and love it! If I could live anywhere else in the world it would be there. The people, the food and the shopping are fantastic. Such a lovely vlog! Brings back fond memories 😊
Hi Lily! I had a stressful event at work last night and am watching your video first thing in the morning. It's making me so much more relaxed and I love your videos (even if it's an ad). Thank you so much!
I really like the finished product. It is subtle. Something different and new. Live a little. It's hair. It grows and if anything after sometime you can change it up again. 💇🏽💁🏽
I cannot wait for you to comeback! I love that whole nieghbourhood where all those shops are. I come there from time to time because most of my favourite coffee spots are there
love the way you film your vlogs! i do vlogs from time to time (i live in nyc) and i'm always trying to figure out new ways to film, def vlog film inspo! loved this! x
Very interesting colouring technique. It did add a nice extra "highlight" to the hair (for lack of a better word). Loved the shopping spree. Amsterdam never ceases to surprise me with fun shops to visit, so I'm making sure to pay a visit to that street next time :)
I actually like the way your hair turned out! Not as bad as what the comments made them out to be. Can't wait to visit Amsterdam :) Also, I really appreciate that your vlogs say if they've got ads or not, and it's not just sneaked into the video. Thank you! :)
Lily, this is going to probably be one of my favourite videos ever! Loved every minute of it and I think I fell in love with Amsterdam, especially the street with all those beautiful shops
So fun seeing you running around in a familiar place and loving it! Just seeing the streets and Schiphol made me feel all the love for my home country :D
The weather was sooo good on Monday and Thursday! Such a shame you didn't got to see the city with a nice shine of sun✨ I loved this video though, your hair looks amazing!!
I work in Amsterdam and live near the city, but have never seen or heard of the shops. I'm definitely going to shop there soon! I love the stuff you bought.
What a cool day to go try out the SS16 style especially for PFW (so jel can't wait for that vlog) and I'm noting all those shops for a future visit! Also, super excited for Sunday's video :) Lauren X
I think i do like the effect of the horizontal highlight...but i'm assuming she didn't do it quite right and it came out such a defined straight horizontal line on the the left side there....it should be more zig zagged across the top. Hard to explain but i know what i mean :)
Great vlog Lily! I didn't realise Amsterdam has so many cool shops. I didn't go to that area when I visited so I totally missed out! May have to go back again. So handy that it's only about an hour away on the plane :) xx
Loved the vlog and loved the hair! I think it is also good to remember lighting and look on the vlog is sometimes different from the real thing. I think the horizontal stripes look good on you!
Ahh yess, I was way too excited (for a 26 year old) when I saw your snap that you were in town! And yes, it was a miserable day yesterday :( You coincidentally hit the right street with all the cool shops, though I haven't been to Miuse yet. You forgot to show the skirt and sweater! Nice to see you enjoying Amsterdam :)
I think, like some commenters here, the phrase "horizontal stripes" in hair colour makes me nervous...but they did a lovely job, and you really pull it off! The colour looks lovely on you. I also love this vlog -- it's so well done and effortless, and you seem extra relaxed and happy the past little while! Your channel is my favourite :)
cant believe it, that salon is literally 200m from my home, i walk past it almost everyday! at least you will be coming back sometime it seems! love the video and your love for amsterdam haha xx
Who were you with? You kept saying "we arrived", "we are going", "we are travelling", than when you arrived at the air saloon there was this girl who opened the door but no mentions at all!
Lily, you wouldn't happen to remember the street name where all those lovely shops are? I'm traveling to Amsterdam this summer and i just HAVE to go and shop there! x
Oh Lily I love you so much! lol when you said "sad times, sad times." I could watch all day. X
WHAT ABOUT THE SKIRT????? The suspense is killing me!
I know hair is personal preference but gosh, I hope "horizontal stripes" aren't the next big trend. It looks like a mistake! Like you highlighted your hair but the ends didn't take and your roots grew out massively! It's good that it's subtle though. But it doesn't look "natural" or "sunkissed" the way it did before with your dark roots and the gradual fade into lighter ends. That's the way hair naturally looks when it's sunbleached, after all, not a random ring round your head.
A subtle balayage all the way
Hester looks amazing and so chic. Have an incredible time at PFW!
I really wanted to see everything you bought!! Especially the skirt:)
You forgot to show us the skirt and the other stuff you bought! I'm so curious lol.
I think your hair looked was better before. Not sure about the horizontal effect 😕
LOVE the new hair colour! Especially the ashy grey tones they put through, so pretty.
As much as I love Hesters style, I think for a hairdresser her hair looks in really bad condition which isnt great when you go in as a client. I think the colour she used was nice and its an interesting technique but I don't know if it's anything I'd actually pay for.

Love the new hair, the changes are natural and subtle and it really suits you!
Those shops look amazing! I personally don't like that hair colour technique I think it looks obvious with the stripes of colour. I think it looked much better before with the lighter ends and brightened up your face more. But hey if you're happy who am I to say anything...
I agree with you. I think It's crooked too. Let's keep it real...
This is really random but I love the way she twisted your hair up with the combs when colouring you hair! So smooth haha
Your*
So you went to Amsterdam to have your hair done? I cannot tell any difference.
"So you backcomb it first??"
Loved your expression here you seemed so scared!!!
i can't see any difference, if you look close the horizontal stripes look like you did it by yourself by accident :///
Same 😳
....think I agree 😳
I really like the stripes.. That would look amazing with a big curl 👌👌
not feeling the hair. horizontal stripe looks weird
I enjoyed your vlog, but the stripe effect seems like it would be better on curly hair for a subtle highlight. Otherwise, a more obvious contrast in color and cut.
This has to be one of my favourite vlogs from you. Those shops looked so good.
Horizontal stripes sounds like the most terrifying thing you want to run away from when it comes to hair dye, when she mentioned it I was just imagining grown out roots/scene kid hair but im glad the results were super subtle and not at all what I was imagining
Such a natural look, it's lovely. And the treatment made your hair look so healthy and shiny.
The strip is really bad looks like a bad grow out and banding
Agree
And I feel like her roots look kinda red-ish
I really expected your hair to be a "wow" the salon looked beautiful & the hair stylists seemed to be very knowledgeable but I didn't like the end result. The colour looked weird to me very washed out & there was a step of colour at the front. I love wella but your hair still looked dry at the end. Great vlog though Amsterdam looked great.

Can we please talk about Hester's AMAZING style :O
I live Rich! Your relationship is so lovely and the way he touched your hair...typical man haha! Love your vlogs x
I loved the look of your hair it is so subtle but lovely. The little snippets of Amsterdam and the shops has made me so excited for when I go in few months. xx
I actually really like the new hair, so nice and natural. Looking great, Lily! x

Nobody does as good a vlog as Lily!
I really like the finished product. It is subtle. Something different and new. Live a little. It's hair. It grows and if anything after sometime you can change it up again. 💇🏽💁🏽
I can't wait to see your Amsterdam purchases styled, hopefully in the next vlog.
I totally get what you're saying, when I went to Amsterdam I fell in love with the shops and with the restaurants 💕
Love your hair lily! 😍 and ooo can't wait for Sunday's video!

Oh Lily I live in Rotterdam you were just 'up the road' - how exciting!!! I am obsessed with Jamie Lawson at the moment!!! Brilliant video as usual x
Very interesting colouring technique. It did add a nice extra "highlight" to the hair (for lack of a better word). Loved the shopping spree. Amsterdam never ceases to surprise me with fun shops to visit, so I'm making sure to pay a visit to that street next time :)
Had to giggle at you like the mellow yellow cafe, since its a dutch "coffeeshop" :D
I actually like the way your hair turned out! Not as bad as what the comments made them out to be. Can't wait to visit Amsterdam :) Also, I really appreciate that your vlogs say if they've got ads or not, and it's not just sneaked into the video. Thank you! :)
Lily, this is going to probably be one of my favourite videos ever! Loved every minute of it and I think I fell in love with Amsterdam, especially the street with all those beautiful shops
Love the vlog and the fun cute shops. Love the jewelry you picked out too, but the shoes I could never pull off but they're definitely you. :-)
Great vlog Lily, I really enjoyed watching it. Can't wait for my trip to Amsterdam this spring 😊 btw. nice editing work too!
Eek I want to see all you bought! Maybe a haul soon? Amsterdam is firmly on my list now xx
This was so cool - and I' m excited for you to be going to Paris FW! Looking forward to Sunday's video - you're my favourite!!!! x
Dying to see the skirt!
Oh Lord, those horizontal stripes are simply awful! Looks like a really bad ombré or really grown out roots :/
So fun seeing you running around in a familiar place and loving it! Just seeing the streets and Schiphol made me feel all the love for my home country :D
The weather was sooo good on Monday and Thursday! Such a shame you didn't got to see the city with a nice shine of sun✨ I loved this video though, your hair looks amazing!!
I like the result, and yeah, Amsterdam is great!Could you tell us where you got the grey/blue/black jumper you're wearing? Love it!
OMG! This is "my" salon too! The Mogeen team is THE best!
Hilarious when you rolled your eyes at Rich. Story of my life! ;) Looking fab per usu!
I live all your videos. I agree you voice is so calming and I feel like you'd be that really reliable friend everyone needs! x

This is perfect! I'm going to Amsterdam soon, so it's great to have some tips! Love your new hair!
Fun video Lily P - loved the hairdrying bit! And the shoes are killer. :)
I work in Amsterdam and live near the city, but have never seen or heard of the shops. I'm definitely going to shop there soon! I love the stuff you bought.
Would love to see you and Rich vlog a trip to Amsterdam and Brussels in the Summer.
Hoping to go to Amsterdam with some friends this summer so this was great to watch!
What a cool day to go try out the SS16 style especially for PFW (so jel can't wait for that vlog) and I'm noting all those shops for a future visit! Also, super excited for Sunday's video :)
Lauren X
What a brilliant day you had, totally want to visit all the shops and i love your hair!!
I think i do like the effect of the horizontal highlight...but i'm assuming she didn't do it quite right and it came out such a defined straight horizontal line on the the left side there....it should be more zig zagged across the top. Hard to explain but i know what i mean :)
I loved your hair Lily it gave it so much more character it's too bad that it rained in Amsterdam but the vlog was still good.
Love your hair 😍😍
Great vlog Lily! I didn't realise Amsterdam has so many cool shops. I didn't go to that area when I visited so I totally missed out! May have to go back again. So handy that it's only about an hour away on the plane :) xx
I always thought a 24hr patch test for hair dye is done first at salons
Omg I love Hester's fashion style ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So pretty !!! Very natural !!! Love it !!!
Will you still be able to do the keratin (or is is Brazilian?) straightening treatments with that color process?
Loved the vlog and loved the hair! I think it is also good to remember lighting and look on the vlog is sometimes different from the real thing. I think the horizontal stripes look good on you!
How do you keep your curly hair so so so straight and beautiful? I can never maintain it!
I love the new hair colour, even if the stripes look a little crooked, I think it suits you well. :)
Love your hair! I will definitely be looking this treatment up! Xxx
LOL @ Rich poking at your head. "I don't want to ruin it." haha
Ahh yess, I was way too excited (for a 26 year old) when I saw your snap that you were in town! And yes, it was a miserable day yesterday :( You coincidentally hit the right street with all the cool shops, though I haven't been to Miuse yet. You forgot to show the skirt and sweater! Nice to see you enjoying Amsterdam :)
The hairdresser Esther is so beautiful and cool! I don't really see the enhancement but hey if you really like then i love it
Haha the mellow yellow was most definitely not a normal coffee shop :p
+Manon Milh yes, coffee and a few extras on the side ;)
Love the vlog!!! How could anyone "thumbs down" this video. People are weird. I loved it Lily!
I think, like some commenters here, the phrase "horizontal stripes" in hair colour makes me nervous...but they did a lovely job, and you really pull it off! The colour looks lovely on you. I also love this vlog -- it's so well done and effortless, and you seem extra relaxed and happy the past little while! Your channel is my favourite :)

You kept saying "we arrived", "we are going", "we are travelling", than when you arrived at the air saloon there was this girl who opened the door but no mentions at all!
