We used Redken Shades EQ level 5 with copper and beige tones. The length was cut about 2 inches and bangs trimmed. 

Rae of Sunshine

This is Rae Ellyn my best friend Molly's mom.

Picture above are the before pictures. 

Rae usually gets permanent hair color but I asked if she would not mind trying Redken's Shades EQ which is a conditioning demi-permanent haircolor. Demi-permanent means it lasts a little longer than a semi. It is "deposit only" which means it does not lift and can only be applied to the same color of the hair to create shine or to color it darker. Another use would be adding tonal colors, but it is not able to make the hair lighter. 

Pictured below are the after pictures.

We decided to go with a cool medium dark brown. Rae said she wanted to avoid orange tones. I thought it looked great, and you can not tell from the pictures because of the sunglasses but it really made her eye color shine. Love you Rae!

Corley's hi-lites, lo-lites, cut, and style

Pictured above are Corley's before pictures. 

She came in the day before and had it cut and styled. I just trimmed the ends taking no length off but by adding long layers and removing bulk from the ends I was able to create a softer look when it is straightened, as well as creating light and clean curls if she were to wear it curly.

 Her hair has a natural wave pattern and by removing bulk and "thinning" it out, the hair is lighter and the curls are formed much easier. 

She also complemented the cut when it is styled straight, she said likes it because "it isn't poofy."

Pictured below are the hi-lite/lo-lite after photo's

I used Kaliedecolors Blue, toning lightener, and Redken Color Fusion 7Gb for the lo-lites. 

For every 2 foils of lite I used 1 foil of the darker color blonde for contrast and natural blending.

 Although the placement was a "partial" hi-lite form, because of her gorgeous thick hair double the amount of foils were used and it became an "all over."
