Ombre and Highlights

McKenna came in with very dark, level 3 ends and roots about 2 inches wanting to go lighter but did not want a traditional highlight or weave.  I lightened the dark with a quick bleach wash and dried.  Using a level 6 mixed with a neutral 7 warm for her base brown and alternated doing an ombre highlight with a fine weave to give dimension and a look that won't look too grown out.

She looks STUNNING!! I love every bit of her hair and how it turned out!
To get the finished look, I applied Kenra root lift, a Matrix oil and a leave in conditioning spray then used a round brush to blow dry. Next section your hair from the bottom up in about 4 layers and start wrapping 1 inch thick pieces around the curling iron. I finished with TIGI hairspray and some of their shine mist.
