Curling Iron Fun!

Welcome back, Heather...my favorite red-head! I wanted to try something different with Heather's style this time.
Here's before: I decided to go with large, swept-back curls. I chose this style because it can do wonders for fine hair.


I used a medium-sized curling iron and created curls turning away from the face. Once the curls were set, I ran some liquid pomade through the hair with my hands to give some extra shine, and to loosen up the curls. I don't like curls that look too "done".

I set the style with Aveda Air control, a dry hairspray that holds without weight, and helps absorb oil on fine hair.
I LOVE how the curls turned out!


Strawberry

My client this time had tried to color her own hair, and it didn't really turn out. She wanted to go strawberry blonde, so I decided to apply a weave all over to give some pretty highlights and dimension.
Before:

After the color:
As you can see, the highlights are a huge difference but are still a natural, bright color. The highlights also brightened up her eyes and brought out a glow in her face!
