This is my regular client Elizabeth- I usually do not show the face of my clients just because I respect their privacy-unless they are 100% ok with it:)

Elizabeth came for highlights and lowlights. She has really fine hair and flat with no volume at all.

So today the goal is to do highlights and lowlights and to do a haircut that will add shape and then body and volume to her hair that is screaming for VOLUME! :)

For her highlights I mixed the following formula usng AVEDA color line-Permanent color:

Highlights Goal: 10 yellow/orange
40g 10 Vol
20g Enlightener

Lowlights Goal: 7 yellow/orange
30g 7n
30g 20 Vol
6g Light yellow/orange
2g Light N/N

For her haircut- slightly angled- short on back and long on front and then we added some layers to provide body/shape as well as volume.

Styling products: AVEDA's Flaxseed Aloe liquid Gel- this will help us give that kind of hold on her very fine hair.

Using a big round vented brush- section hair and add a drop of flaxseed liquid gel to every section and blowout all the way:)

The result...see below ;)

Bored of your one-toned haircolor?

Check out the before and after look of my model Jennifer Merriman.

Highlights is a great way to create a stylish and trendy look and it does bring life to your boring hair:)

Michigan State University Fashion Show

I had the opportunity to help out the MSU- Fashion design students with styling the models hair and I had a blast :) They were all students but it was a pretty big show and it was busy!:)

A lot of fun and I definitely learned a lot and made me realized how lucky I am to be given the chance and opportunity to do something that I really love doing:)

Enjoy!:)
