In this photo shoot with The Doves, Sonya Dove described the colors she used to color the Hairdreams extensions as being those you’d spy in a diamond as the light hits it and it flares. “We used soft, muted, pastel tones—some lavender, soft gray, soft pinks, and a soft yellow. And while our model is already blonde, we went lighter because we wanted a very pale, soft base.” The Doves colored each extension and asked that the stylist and make-up artists refl ect these colors in the wardrobe and make-up.
