Cup of Thoughts

The first All Over Color I get to do is red/violet, of course. Why not? Go big or go home, right? This was really fun to paint. Not only is the chica hilariously witty, she trusted me enough to let me experiment with her beautiful hair.  ♡Anna

My lovely nana came in for a root touchup but wanted it to be drawn down some to look almost like a balayage.  So I decided to give her a reverse balayage while covering her roots.  I absolutely loved the turnout! ♡Anna Interested in getting this done?

Yesterday at school, I messaged my sister asking her if she felt brave. Turns out she was! She's wanted balayage on her hair every since it first became popular. As soon as I learned how to do it, I promised that she would be the first. Here are the before and after pictures. Before After My sister's hair is insanely thick. We started right after lunch (about 1'o clock) and I washed her out right at 3:30. To keep the hair from going white, I had to make a mixture of water and conditioner and spray the painted sections while working up.  In the end she loved it! I'm so tickled the way her hair turned out! She looked absolutely beautiful before, but now she's glowing even more so! What I used: Joico Blonde Life Lightener 20 Vol. Matrix Creme Developer 10 Vol. Matrix Creme Developer Meche Strips ♡ Anna
