Modern Day Hippie by TIGI®

By Haley Gable·May 30, 2017

TIGI® artist Stephanie Senner used a freehand blending technique to create soft tones of pale truffle and smoked lavender, achieving a look any modern day hippie would love to rock. After all, no color and style matches tie dye clothes seamlessly like this hairstyle! Here's how you can recreate this fun take on '60s style!

STEPS

Starting Level: 8

Create a parting following the haircut and natural fall of the hair.
Begin by creating a large circular section 1 inch back from the hairline, incorporating the low crown. Subdivide in to 4 equal sections and secure using TIGI®PRO Sectioning Clips.
Take a radial parting from the top of the ear towards the circular section on either side of the head. Secure all remaining hair with TIGI®PRO Sectioning Clips.
Put on protective gloves. Starting the application at the nape, take a diagonal slice and apply Formula A from the new growth area through to the midlengths and ends. Isolate using a TIGI® copyright©olour™ Meche Strips.
From the second slice, apply Formula A from the new growth area through to the midlengths. With a freehand blending technique apply Formula B to the lengths and ends. Isolate each slice using TIGI® copyright©olour™ Meche Strips. Repeat on the opposite side.
Progressing into the two sections at the crown, apply Formula A from the new growth area through to the midlengths and ends. Continue until the sections are complete and isolate using a TIGI® copyright©olour™ Meche Strips.
Working into the radial section, take horizontal slices and apply Formula A to the new growth area, then apply Formula B through to the midlengths and ends. Isolate using a TIGI® copyright©olour™ Meche Strips. Repeat the same technique to the opposite side.
Continue the same technique into the last 2 top sections, applying Formula A to the new growth area, then Formula B through to the midlengths and ends.
Within the fringe area, take 1/2 inch slices applying Formula A from the new growth area through to the midlengths and ends.
Process the color visually for up to 20 minutes, then emulsify, rinse and remove using Bed Head® by TIGI® Urban Antidotes™ Re-Energize™ Shampoo and Conditioner.
