Hair Care
Dramatic (But Wearable) Hairstyle TransformationHang on to summer with a few well-placed highlights the way TotalBeauty.com reader Julie did -- it took her hairstyle from serious to sexy |
Julie before "I'd like to add some life to this hair," Julie told Lewis as she sat in his chair for a color consult, "to maybe try and bring the 'sun into it' if that's possible, to sort of keep summer with me all year long," she said, adding one proviso, "just no copper -- red and I don't get along. I look like a Cabbage Patch Kid."
Lewis agreed that Julie's hair color was too dark and did nothing to showcase her natural beauty and sparkly sense of humor. "I'm going to bump up your base a half-shade to a shade lighter � [and ] I want to do sun-kissed natural highlights on half of your head, lighter on the top with caramel highlights." If you have dark strands like Julie, adding face-framing, carmel-colored highlights is a great (and low maintenance way) to brighten or warm up your shade.
