My Work: A Beautiful Ombre

kristen

Kristen came in with previously highlighted hair and a natural very warm level 6.5.
She brought in all my Pinterest favs with tons of vibrant cool blond ends.
We discussed our options, balyage highlights vs. what I call an ‘at the bowl ombre’. Because She wanted the ends to be majority light instead of just pieces of blonde we opted for the bowl ombre. I told her I would do my best achieving her desired outcome and we were off.

I emulsified Loreal Professionals Infinie Platine mixed with 40 vol developer stragically from the ends up. Working up her hair shaft gradually.
I blow dried her hair and decided to go lighter.
I evaluated the health of her hair and decided for one more round of Loreal Professionals Infinie Platine mixed with 40 vol developer.
I toned/sealed with Redken Shades Crystal Clear and a touch of 9V.

I cut some long layers and curled with a 1″ Curling Iron.
