DORTE FALENGREEN

Hairdresser, hairstylist and founder of By Falengreen

Dorte's long-standing career in the hairdressing profession began when, as a mere 8-year-old, she helped wash the hair of customers in her mother's hairdressing salon. Even then she fell in love with the profession, and she decided that it was a path she wanted to continue and master throughout her life.

After completing hairdressing training, she has worked abroad for several years, where both Spain, London and Hollywood have been her workplace. She has passed on her hairdressing skills to others as a teacher at several schools in Scandinavia, where she has held many courses for both hairdressers and beauticians.

She has also shared her knowledge of hair products as the author of several books on chemicals in the hairdressing profession, and on how to protect yourself and your body as a hairdresser from chemicals in hair and cosmetic products. For many years, Dorte has had her own laboratory at the institute of technology, where she has studied harmful ingredients in e.g. hair dyes, because she wanted to find a way in which allergenic ingredients could be replaced with hypoallergenic ingredients, without compromising the product's function.
"When I worked as a successful hairdresser in Europe, I experienced on my own body how some ingredients and harmful chemicals can affect both hairdressers and their customers. Like many others, I experienced the harsh reality when I began to feel allergic reactions on my own skin and in my body”.

Dorte decided that her personal goal should be to develop certified anti-allergenic hair products that would become the new standard for hair cosmetics. Dorte quickly realized that it would be a long tough journey.

The cosmetics industry is competitive and complicated, as the product formulas rarely give a true description of what the products contain. But Dorte did not give up. She kept looking for alternative and better ingredients until she developed her own line of products.

Dorte has reached her goal. she has developed luxurious hypoallergenic hair products with clinically documented formulas, and that is why we can present you with the "By Falengreen" product range.
