If you’ve seen Joie Wallace‘s (@joiewallacehair) work, you know her curly hair makeovers are FIRE, and we are loving this recent transformation that involved a new color, a classic finger wave technique and 15 inches…gone!   Joie’s client came in with breakage and knotting from unkempt extensions. “She was extremely depressed,” shares Joie. “And I told her that if she trusted my vision, we could give her an amazing new look.” Amazing new look ACHIEVED. Here’s how Joie did it.     A post shared by Joie Wallace (@joiewallacehair) on Nov 7, 2017 at 5:01am PST   (more…)

    Take the sides down from the middle of the eyebrow to the ear (the cut should resemble a fauxhawk).

    Cut the sides, back and top with shears to make sure hair is softly layered—remember to keep the side burns and back soft and wispy.

    Curl hair with a small and medium flat iron, starting from the nape and curling the hair forward. Then curl the next row toward the back, alternating until all the hair has been curled. Finish with MIZANI Shyne Bodifying Sheen Spray for shine and amika Un.Done Texture Spray for volume.
