u crack me up!!!

there is tutorials on the site with loads of brill colour mixes, and also ideas for doing colour.

ATM, I'm training a young girl, nearly finished her level2, and for all the clients who usually get just tints, we are shaking them up a bit, doing a few foils underneath, say if they r getting a 6/0 tint, doing a few foils thru the underneath (below parting) with 5/75 and 6/74, just to make it a bit different and to give her more foils practise! She can tint with her eyes closed!!!

Am doing a lot of lighter zigzags around the parting with darker everywhere else.

Red an copper on the same head is around a lot.

Am still doing red and black as this seems to be enduring.

Black dyed look is now out. Honey and ash blonde highlights are back yay!

 

[kimi1101]

what do you mean by lighter zigzags? like instead of a straight, rectanguler one, and zigzag one?

funny how different things in different areas....I've not done red and black for about 8 years!!! We don't get many people looking for black, apart from me, and one other client.

Most of our colours are cool, ashy blondes, warm brunettes (6/73, 6/7, 6/75 in wella) or natural coppery tones. x

section out the parting area, but zizagging the line round. colour the top area including the parting 2 shades lighter than the rest of the hair
