Make Thin Hair Look Thicker With Hair Color!

Looking to take your super fine hair and give it a fuller-thicker appearance? It's Really Easy! Here's what you do:

One of the best ways to create thickness is in the bang area or throughout the perimeter. You can do this with color and creating depth. It's what I refer to as shadowing.

Shadowing is very very simple. 

For the bang area - Formulate a color at least 2 shades darker than your base formula. Use no more than about 2-4 foils and starting at the front hair line of the bangs, place your first foil in a weaving manner. Continue working your way up to the crown, in horizontal sections, making sure to never expose the darker color on the part line.

For the perimeter of the hair - Formulate a color at least 2 shades darker than your base formula. Out line the entire hair line, including front and back. Using foil apply a baby fine slice fore each section, in a horizontal manner, then skip a section and apply another foil in the same manner. Continue this throughout the entire hair line.

Thats It!!! Easy as...... Pie?

Hair Colorist Wednesday: Color Formula!

Here is a great formula for Blondes I use all the time and oh so perfect for the Fall. We have talked a lot about taking blondes deeper and adding some more depth to your blonde. Well here is a fun way to take a NL 7 virgin guest to a perfect shade of dimensional blonde.

Base Level = 7

Alternate Formula 1, 2 & 3 in your standard formula manner for virgin application. Utilize extremely fine weaves throughout. The goal is to create an array of colors that give a beautiful dimension of color.

I use Redken Color So I will give you my Redken Formulas that I use. However, feel free to use the brand that you are most comfortable with.

1. Your favorite powder lightener with 20 volume (Redken Up to 7)

2. Your favorite high lift/double blonde Blue/Violet tone (Double Fusion = parts of AV & AB)

3. Demi-Permenant Level 7 Gold Tone (Shades EQ 7GB)

The result is beautiful and extremely low maintenance and pretty much the perfect color for a NL 7 looking to spice it up for the fall!
