Brittney Carmichael (@OMGhairstylesalon), owner of OMGhairstyles salon in Frisco, Texas, had an exciting challenge. New client Beth arrived "and gave complete trust to me for her beauty transformation," says Carmichael. "We were both so incredibly blown away by the before and after transformation that I thought I would share with other professionals. I am so grateful to be in a position to show clients through the art of hair how to create confidence and believe in their own beauty!!"
Carmichael charged $1800 for this service. Here she shares the HOW TO:
Step 1: Base Color Formula: Pravana 1oz 6.34 + 2oz 5.0 + 10 volume. Process for 30 minutes. Rinsed and treated with ColorProof Deep Quench Moisture Masque.
Step 2: Apply 22" Cinderella hair extensions in ombre pattern with #600 blonde on bottom, #8 caramel in the midsection, and #2 dark brown on the top layer.
Step 3: Low-light the blonde and caramel hair extensions to darken from base to mid-shaft to keep the ombre effect consistent. Color Formula from Step 1.
Step 4: Haircut was done with a razor to create a smooth blended long layered look.
Step 5: Style with ColorProof PureRelease & PlushLocks leave-in smoother and curl with a Sam Villa 1" flatiron. Finish with ColorProof AllAround Flexible hold hairspray.
