This look, from Anthony Cristiano's Intrinsic Collection, was created with an artfully-designed, edgy crop that brings a reinterpretation to model Natalie’s existing soft waves. Subtil Highlights emphasize her flaxen shade for an overall refreshed look.
STEPS
Start by sectioning at the round of the head in a rectangular shape.
Cut in the base line by cutting in a square shape.
Section diagonally at the occipital bone and begin your graduation, working in a pivotal manner. Then cross-check to taper to the neck area.
Take horizontal sections and bring everything down to the stable guideline, using the jawline as a reference point.
Lift the hair above 90 degrees and create round layers—it is important to overdirect the sides back in order to maintain a consistent frontal length.
Working through the sides toward the front, remove excess weight. Continue to remove weight, and work upward horizontally toward the crown.
Strengthen the shape by rounding the base, using the jaw and lip line as a visual guide. Release the crown section.
After blow-drying, refine the outer baseline.
Start by clipping away a halo section that comes to a “V” at the crown.
Mix Subtil Lightener to a creamy consistency. Then, starting by teasing a diagonal section at the temple, just in front of the ear and balayage with SUBTIL Powder Lightener and 40-Volume Oxydant in a light application to create a very natural look around the hairline.
Continue to the top of the head, working with horizontal sections. Place a more delicate application at the crown and a more concentrated amount of color toward the face.
Cover each section with cellophane to insulate the color. This will keep the lightener from drying out and also aids in processing.
A client's body heat will naturally help process the color, so place additional layers of cellophane over the top to help insulate and retain heat. Process for 60 minutes at room temperature.
