The first time Nilu came, she wanted shaping for her curls and some red to tone her existing highlights.
The second time she came, her curls needed shaping again and the toner had faded.
She wanted purple toner. I love the purple haze on her hair. It is subtle but fun.
Thanks Nilu for sending me the after photos.
In March I went to New York City to take the Deva Curl level 2 course. There were 23 people in the class from all over the US and the UK.
It was a three day class where we reviewed cutting and learned how to cut using the cutting clock. We also learned the Deva Bob hair cut and Pintura highlighting.
First we cut our mannequins, then we got to work on live models.
Here is her before and after.
I thought she was adorable with her hat on.
What does all this have to do with Instagram you ask, well at the end of class they had everyone write down their Instagram handle so we could follow each other and I didn’t have one. Well now I do and I have to say I love just posting pictures. You can follow me @lizzie_snips
Hadeel had never had a DevaCut before. She wanted some shaping, but to keep her length.
After we cut it she said, “When I came in, I didn’t know what I wanted, but now I do, this is what I wanted!”
She recently came back in. It had been 4 months since her last cut. You can see how well the shape held.
She was ready for a bigger change. Here you can see what her hair looks like after cutting, but before styling.
We cleansed with No-poo Original and used Original One Condition for moisture. In drippy wet hair we added a cocktail of ultra gel and styling cream. Smoothing over and scrunching in. Clips were placed at the roots for lift and then we scrunched with a Deva microfiber towel to start her drying process. Then spritzed with Set it Free to lock in moisture and add some shine and popped her under the dryer until dry. At which point we scrunched to break the cast and fluffed at the roots.
She was left with beautifully defined silky curls. 😊
