There is nothing more exciting to me as a hairstylist than to help a woman feel beautiful. On Saturday, I had a client who wanted to play. We had determined ahead of time that we would do some hair color, which we hadn't done in a very long time. We also decided we would take a photo. She had white and gray hair, mixed with 20% of her natural level 5 to 6, with a cool tone.
This was my approach. I sectioned off the hair with a Pleating section, a type of zigzag section around the parietal. Pleating is from one of Teri Dougherty's collections. Then, instead of using one color on top, I used a brick laying pattern, with the same size sections. I used a Majorel, level 4, 20 vol. on the bottom of the zigzag, and 8.13 (1/2), 8 (1/2), 20 vol. on top triangles.
The results were wonderful, a little more dramatic than her natural look, with a sparkle. She loved it, and I think she left feeling a bit better about herself.
I'll upload the photo as soon as I figure out how.
