One of the coolest camp leaders I volunteered with at Girl’s Camp asked me to fix her sad locks of hair last week. Needless to say, I was dealing with the terrible gray roots, numerous box dye quick fixes, and a prolonged hair cut. I was excited and honored to use my hair cutress skills to work my magic on this phenomenal mom/nurse/everything in between. In the consultation she showed me some pictures of her gorgeous self at twenty- something with this natural strawberry blonde/light brown/lightly natural highlighted hair, as a reference. I was thinking that this mom needs to feel pampered as well as have some fabulous color that makes her look young effortlessly!
I explained that due to her previous hair “treatments” that we would need to do a pre-treatment to lighten up the metallic dye in her hair.
FYI: Box dye can leave chemicals in your hair that can re-develop when you dye your hair again, leaving it even more damaged with an undesirable color.
I didn’t do just any base color or highlight, I used 6 different colors with low lights and highlights… Giving her color but not going over the top.
I’m excited with the results. She seemed to glow and I was excited to help a friend out with her coif! She looked amazing and I was once again reminded why I LOVE doing hair, to make women feel great about how they look! My victory of the week!
Can’t spot even one gray strand! Love the vibrancy! Couldn’t guess her age from this view! You look gorgeous dahling! Before Picture
