Step One: Identify Your Best Feature
Deana's extremely long, fine hair dominates her appearance, taking the focus off her best feature: her beautiful green eyes. To reverse that effect, Luke pulls her hair into a low ponytail and chops off her long locks, which Deana plans to donate to Locks of Love. Luke then adds structure with soft layers and softens Deana's forehead with full bangs that she can wear down or sweep to the side. The result is a much healthier, youthful cut that will grow out neatly with a quick bang trim (much cheaper than a full trim) every four weeks.
