Erika’s fine hair was very flat and limp. The length was just past her chin with almost no shape or volume. Her color was overly highlighted, which washed out her skin tone and did nothing to accent her features.
To liven up Erika’s look, Jessee started by infusing three different shades of brown from an intense deep shade though a warm medium tone to a golden light brown. Jessee placed the darkest shade at the base and applied vertical sections through the head for a dimensional series of richness overall. The end result is a deep, warm mocha chocolate brown with textural caramel highlights that reflect light and create drama, warming up Erika’s skin tone and complementing her eye color.
Next Jessee cut uniform layers all over leaving length through the front for styling versatility. On damp hair, he applied Brocato Cloud 9 Mousse and Volumizing Tonic and blow-dried with a round boar bristle brush for volume. Next, Hot Shapes and more Volumizing Tonic were combined and applied on dry sections. These sections were curled horizontally using a small or ¾ inch curling iron pinning each curl up to set. Once the hair was cooled, the sections were undone and worked back though with Liquid Latex Liquid Latex Jelly Pomade and Carve Texture Icing mixed together, keeping the curls more intact. Moveable Hold Hairspray was misted over the surface for a medium but pliable hold.
