Brilliant Ideas

Melissa works at a trendy coffee house and is a part-time student. She was ready for a totally new look that was more current, yet easy to take care of. Her length was to her mid back and she had outgrown layers and bangs. Her natural texture is slightly wavy with fine density. Her color was previously over processed and damaged, and had some bits of black as well as brassy golden tones that needed to be removed.

PON International stylist Mandi Bevando started by cutting 8 inches of her damaged length off. Next she texturized the back, added volume on top but she left the sides longer so Melissa felt like she had some length to play with.
For her color, a light caramel hue was applied to her natural ash tone for added warmth without any brassy tones like before.

To style, Mandi started with damp hair and applied PON International Turn it Up all over, and Mussy all over, but concentrated on the root. A small amount of Sealant was used on the ends to control the wave. After blow-drying with a round brush for volume, movement was added by using Du Da Du styling paste. Scatter FX spray wax was lightly applied in back for more texture and pliable movement.

For a second look, Mandi created an intertwined up style that was swept to one side. More Scatter FX was dusted over the top of dry hair after the crown was backcombed to add height for the base. Small sections were ribboned around, intertwined and pinned into place. Da Flex working spray was used over the top to hold.
