SEARCHThe steps Sonya and Christopher Dove took to create this beautiful style using Hairdreams extensions.
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.

Yellow Quikkie: Wella Koleston perfect 0/33 and Koleston Perfect 10-volume developer.
"It doesn't matter what the trends are I make decisions based on the facial features of the client; you can subtly incorporate the trend into the look. I added a tiny bit of purple and pink into her eyebrows, for instance, because color is very big for spring and summer." --Inessa Shak, make-up artist
STEPS:
STEP 1: Hairdreams TopHair is pre-lightened using Wella Blondor Powder lightener + Koleston Perfect 20-volume developer to a pale blonde. The crown is colored pink using Koleston Perfect 0/65 mixed with equal parts Koleston Perfect 10/0 and 10-volume developer.
STEP 2: Pull back hair into a triangle from temple to temple and secure. Take first section at the back from ear level and apply pre-colored yellow Quikkies.

STEP 4: Clip TopHair in the front to secure.
