HAIRS

I’ve been tapping into my barbering skills lately.

Hair goal: Color and line up w/heart design

Color formula: Schwarzkopf BlondeMe with 30vol. Wella Blondor Permanent Liquid Toner /16 with Wella Pastel Developer 1:2 mixed with a splash of Brass Kicker

Usually my lineup service comes with a full fledge taper cut because I just can’t ever seem to be okay with doing just a line up 🙈

I used the clippers as an initial guide but always perfect the look with scissor over comb method as well as scissor freehand on Afro hair textures.

When a client books a service as such I’ll usually begin with hair color pre cut so that the scalp doesn’t become irritated when applying the bleach.

I prepped her scalp with KeraCare barrier protect which is usually used pre relaxer app. Doing this keeps her scalp from feeling cooked while processing during her bleach and tone service.

While the color lifted I applied foil underneath and a plastic processing cap for an even lift.

Next I applied my Blondor toner and processed for 15 mins proceeded by her taper line up.

Hair goal: knotless boho box braids

We used Rastafri feed’m silky pre-stretched for her braids along with His and Hers deep wavy for her leave-out.

Black Panther edge control kept her roots in check and Raw African Shea Butter keeps her length and ends soft and moisturized which prevents breakage and split ends and promotes hair length.

She wanted a full look so we used 1 1/2 bundles of His and Hers bulk hair.

I finished this look by adding fuchsia perm rods to the braid hair only and dipping them in hot water with Indian Growth grease to create a silky, curly, blend.

🔑Don’t dip the human hair in hot water!!!! Doing so will change the texture and curl pattern of the hair🔑

Hair goal: root retouch, haircut, blowdry

Formula: 6/7 30g 3/0 20g 1:1 20vol Wella Koleston Perfect

I decided to go with this formulation for depth in tone yet a rich coffee bean brown.

Her undertone has a vibrant glow in the sun and I wanted to keep that with the 6/7 yet mute that vibrancy while indoors and give off a sort of ombré finish with the 3/0.

Omg her hair was so thick and was all one length so I had to create lots of texture with wet and dry point cutting, slide cutting techniques, disconnected under cutting techniques, and I finished with my handy dandy texturizing shears.

I literally felt like Edward Scissorhands during this session and loved every minute💖

For her blowout I used Ceramic + Ion Large Thermal Brush 2 1/8” with Kenra Daily Provision, Guytang Mydentity My Quick Blow Thermal Spray, and Redken Velvet Gelatine 07.

She came with her own good vibes and great energy thus the light flares ☀️
