Makeover!

Today's post is a makeover post! My friend, Taylor, wanted a new cut and color for fall so I'm killing two birds with one stone by giving her a fabulous makeover and turning it into a blog post so you can all see the magic happen step by step.

Taylor's hair is colored already but her color is brassy and faded from a red dye job earlier this summer. I'm going to correct this by doing a neutral brown color from Redken (color 3N) with some blue undertones to counteract the red/orange tones in her hair. I like Redken because it has natural conditioners in it and it always produces beautiful, rich color.

I'm applying the color from the roots using a color applicator brush. When doing at home color, remember to always use gloves to protect your skin!

After the color, I'm going to give Taylor a haircut. She wants about a half an inch to an inch off the ends as well as some layering. The goal is to give her a cleaner version of the haircut she already has because she likes the length it's at but her ends are dead and dry.

Here's a before picture of Taylor's hair to give you an idea of what we're starting with.
