SEARCHRosa Hawkins offers the HOW TO create her "Smoke and Mirrors" cut and color.
For this "Smoke and Mirrors" look, Rosa Hawkins, owner of Di Rosa Haircare, allowed a smoky color to whisper through a clear creamy beige base. Hawkins uses a combination and placement of tones to enhance movement and texture in cuts. Her technique, coupled with the varying tones, brings this razor cut to life with dimension and interest.
Cut
Section out the back starting at the nape and using diagonal forward sections. Using a razor, reduce the hairline so it lies as flat as possible and continue to occipital increasing elevation as you move up the head shape.
Take 1/4 inch section above the ear and reduce in the same manner as the nape.
Release top section and over direct to right side and cut length to approximately top of lip.
Create texture and space by "tipping" throughout the hair using your razor.
