Maroon and Violet

blog 3

This beauty wanted some fun for today! Normally I would do a 6/0 and 20 on her roots and some balayage on her ends. Depending on how she wanted it I’d tone her with a 7NB or an 8C. Just depending on what she was feeling that day.

Today, however, I applied 5/75 and 20 vol at her root about an inch out and then I applied 5/75 with 1″ of violet kicker and 30 vol on her mid shaft. Emulsifying it but not bringing it all the way through her ends.

After blowdrying her bangs I realized I didn’t get the pop of color that I wanted.

So I then applied 5RV, a violet kicker, and Processing solution from her roots to her midlengths.
On the ends I used 9B and Crystal Clear for probably 30 seconds to cancel out a little of the gold without making it ashy.

7 Years Married to My Favorite Mexi!

I think about the cocky 19 year old boy I feel in love with. He was confident, loud, opinionated, everything I wasn’t. I fell hard and fast for him and loved everything about him. Before David was even my boyfriend I knew we would be together forever.

Soon after we got married Valentine was born and then we celebrated our 1 year anniversary in January 2010.

At 5 Years David and I felt very blessed and content. There were no big life events but we were happy and everyone healthy.
