Here are a few looks that I have put together for this spring and summer! First, I would like to thank my gorgeous models who offered me their time and hair! Each one of these ladies are beautiful on the inside and out.
The following looks are a mix of styles and techniques that I have learned from recent classes and hair shows. For this season, the looks focus on being soft and natural. Texture is the main trend for the season. If the hair doesn't have natural texture, it is created by dimension in the color.
Classic Swing Bob with Soft Highlights
Color Formula: Keune Ultimate Blonde Series 1032 with 30 Volume in a stitch pattern to keep highlights soft and natural.
Cut: I used a two-comb cutting technique that 'folds the fabric' of the hair which allows it to hang in natural fall. I learned this technique from Phillip Wilson's advanced cutting classes.
Products Used: Shampoo- ColorProof Detox Shampoo; Conditioner- ColorProof DeepQuench Moisture Masque; Styling- ColorProof LiftIt Foam Mousse and ColorProof PowderFix Instant Texture
Finishing: Blow-dried with a medium sized round brush and polished with a flat-iron
Layered Cut with All-Over Color and a Few Highlights
Color Formula: All over glossed with Keune Semi equal parts 6 and 5 with a dash of 0/33 mix color and Semi Activator.
Highlights are Scrupples Illusionist Gold Coast with 2 scoops and 20 Volume. Only 8 foils were used, each a diagonal panel to pop through as the hair moves.
Cut: I activated her layers giving bounce and body to the hair, yet still being blended for easy at home styling.
Products Used: Shampoo- ColorProof CrazySmooth Shampoo; Conditioner- ColorProof CrazySmooth Treatment Masque; Styling- ColorProof Extreme Shine Treatment Oil and PlushLocks Leave-In Conditioner
Finishing: Blow-dried with a large round brush for maximum volume and flat-iron curled
Side-Swept Up-Style with Curls
Styling: No color or cut on this model! This is her natural shade, and her length is possibly over three feet. If you have long hair, and a stylist says it's too long for an up-style.. find a new stylist! After anchoring the up-style to the side, I curled the remainder of the hair and used the length of hair to my advantage by forming details to the style.
Products Used: Volume-ColorProof PowderFix Instant Texture; Forming details- ColorProof FiberBlast Texture Paste; Shine- ColorProof WickedGood Shine Spray; Smooth-ColorProof AllAround Hairspray; Finish- ColorProof UltraMarathon Hairspray
