Shes backkkk and ready for Fall!

I love getting to do Alice Blackwood s hair because she always had a new creative idea… while still giving me creative freedom.

Her inspo this time was Mercury. We decided to go mostly gray with some blues on the ends to mimic the actual planet.

That blue is stubborn af so well be working with it until it rides off into the sunset.

What do you think?? Lmk if youre ready for part two 🥰

If hes keeping his hair short it might as well be thicc lol

The best way to try the new K18 Hair FutureIQ is on yourself, but when you have crazy thick hair like I do, the next best thing is your husband.

Documenting this so we can come back in 3 months to let yall know if it made a difference on Bens hair. He has great hair but what if there was more of it 👀

Plus he only has a few grays so lets see if it reduced them!

What do you guys thinkll happen? Follow along!

Setting realistic expectations is only half the battle: you have to make sure your clients can hear you.

In this case, Kelly has been my client for over a decade so I knew she heard me when I said she couldn’t be a rosey bleach and tone. We decided a heavy highlight was the way.

Our backup plan was a mushroom highlight- Although she brought me copper inspo pics too lol.

I was truly surprised to see how she lifted and in a few months we will do another round of highlights. She will be basically at her goal at that point.

I was running behind (lol obv) so these images barely do it justice but her formula was:
Redken shades 30g 8Vro 20g 10g 9V
