Chalk It Up!

Here is some tips to offer and how-to information for color smashing and chalking technique! What is color smashing, you ask? It’s just that: grab a handful of color, grab a handful of hair, and smash the tint into the strands, producing a concentrated burst of color. Chalking, on the other hand, borrows materials from the kids’ crafts box; take pastel chalk, wet it and swipe the color onto random strands. The color sets with a quick spritz of hairspray until the client shampoos it out. Although there are no hard and fast rules for smashing and chalking, its suggesting you choose colors that stand out against the existing hair color. Example: using blues and blacks on lighter hair, and oranges, reds and greens on darker strands.

Fringe it up!

A standout fringe is all the rage right now! To enhance your fringe, I first suggest going to a professional to do all I'm telling you. To make it look thicker and heavier, apply a shadow of hair color that’s one to two levels darker than your base color with a slice on the underside of the fringe. Leave the scalp area color-free and blend the shadow color. For clients who are ready for a fringe, just throw in some creative color on the halo area of your head!

My Little Pony.

Nicole Richie can support a high cute high ponytail. To get To get this 1960’s-inspired fringe and high pony combo, apply a thermal protection spray, to each section of already dry hair. Make sure hair is dry after the spray before you touch it with any iron! After smoothing with a flat iron, pull a mo-hawk section of hair up and away. Pull the rest of the hair into a super high pony with two elastics at the crown of the head for extra volume. Release the mo hawk section of the hair and lightly blast with a blow dryer to find a part and smooth out any kinks. Next, lightly shake out the top section of the hair to let a face-framing fringe fall, then separate the remaining hair into two sections on both sides of the head. One at a time, wrap the sections around the pony pinning and secure with pins to hide the elastic and give shape to the head. Smooth flyaways and set the look with a light mist of finishing spray. Add worthy shine with a shine spray! There you have it!
