WHEN IN ROME......

ITALY -MEXICO- POTATO......POTATO
 I am coming off a wonderful week away in Mexico for some fun in the sun..and as the saying goes "when in Rome'
 I took this to be when on vacation always make news friends and don't ever pass up the chance to do some hair...
ya ya get a life..i hear the whispers
my trip would not have been the same without meeting this beautiful woman(inside  and out) Alicia and her family- husband and kids.
so off we go hopping into (essentially a family of strangers) my new friends' suburban to see the sites in Bucerias, a little  Oceanside town outside Puerto Vallarta.(short version)
Alicia born and raised in mexico city has only just learned to speak comfortably in English but upon hearing what I do for a living managed to get out in the clearest  English language...."you do hair..you cut me?"
and the rest is history....
what a great time. their family welcomed mine into their world and took us to their favorite taco stand,  had good food and laughs, saw the sites in  and around Bucerias, grabbed a beer for home and off to do hair we went....

LOOK AT ALL THIS HAIR...HEAVEN



MY SELECTION OF TOOLS MADE THINGS INTERESTING.....YIKES  

 



OF COURSE BEING FEMALE SHE HAS STRAIGHT DOLL LIKE HAIR..AND WANTS CURLS

                                                                     NEXT UP:

                              chatting the process..and our girls our now connected socially(quite cute)

DECONSTRUCTING WAVES

2016 is proving a little more boho than polished beauty queen.... think free flowing, disheveled (my fave) and unstructured..as opposed to perfect, contrived and untouchable....COMPLETELY UP MY ALLEY

it stars with a strong foundation in length with added uneven fringed layers, and in this case my client has a strong fringe and very straight hair...just go with it ..remember there's no hard rules..its hair

before:  her polished straight hair in its natural form .remember straight and polished is not what im going for here 

                                                               1: grab the flat iron

vertical sections with a flat iron rather than a barrel for a more random shapes

 I typically zigzag my direction starting at nape..meaning rather than taking uniform sections from side to side I will jump up and grab higher sections then back to lower..again think disheveled. I used the damage manager thermal spray for hold and protection

continue with randon sections as well alternating direction of wave to keep the feeling of it soft
 

this is the fun part ...de-construct!

                                             2:mold and play..get in there with the fingers and shake all
                                                  the"pretty"  out of the wave. I want it not "done" looking.

adding a shot of doo-over

my tools for this look: DOO-OVER DAMAGE MANAGER and EASY RIDER love love love!


 



shake rock and roll the hair



                                      3: rake out wave with fingers and play. no brushes needed. it 
                     would change the look fingers with some easy rider for frizz control is all I needed

this hair now has a sexy gritty and carefree vibe

                                            cheers,
