Man am I feeling all the feels after a disconnected from the world but connected with my family weekend! ♥️
.
My holiday weekend look like this.. my baby turning 9, morning snuggles and pie for breakfast, my husband and I watching our favorite show together, snuggling my new baby nephew and getting him to smile at me for the first time, making pies and prepping a lot of food, mixing yummy drinks, looking into my families eyes and connecting with them over a fire, not putting on real pants for 3 days. 🍁🤎💛🦃
.
This holiday season definitely looks different than most. But, boy am I feeling more blessed than ever. The perspective twist is wild as I age. Things that were wildly important seem silly to me now, and the things that matter most you can’t put a price tag on. Im embracing that shift now as we head into Christmas. I hope this Thanksgiving season served you all well also. 🤍
.
Im back to behind the chair today, and have crazy busy holiday hours until Christmas. I can’t wait to share some holiday hair with you all! 🙌🏼 How lucky am I!??
.
How was your holiday different and what did you love about it? Please tell me I’m not the only one who didn’t wear real pants for 3 days?! 😂🤟🏼♥️

My MOTHER 🤍
.
How stunning is she!?!? Her killer silver locks that are the same shade as my Grandmothers were. 🏆
.
Her classic graduated bob that fits her so perfectly. 🤟🏼
.
My sweet Mama has fine hair that we very strategically cut to achieve the appearance of thick hair. ✂️ Very blunt and with zero graduation in the front to achieve the most weight and graduated softly and vertically to achieve a solid structure in the back to give her volume. It’s so satisfying so see her shape give her all the things she wants! 👍🏼
.
Im so thankful for this beautiful lady. And I hope to be as dreamy as she is when I reach her age. 🙏🏼 I love you cutie Momma! ❤️

This color melt makes me want a Salted Carmel Cream cold brew.. 🤤
.
Ok maybe I just need my coffee but REALLY.. how beautiful is this color melt!? 🥰
.
What’s your favorite technique to melt one shade in to the next?? I use my @cooboard for melting in lowlight pieces and it’s AMAZING! 🙌🏼
.
Do you have any special tools?? I would love to hear! 😘

That stack and texture 😍 . Creating graduation

That stack and texture 😍
.
Creating graduation in the nape based off of head shape is KEY 🔑 when cutting short hair. Question is.. do you build it vertically or horizontally?? Answer.. BOTH is ok! What’s your favorite?
.
For me when I want to build a more drastic stack I use vertical and when I want to create a softer bevel I use horizontal. ⬆️➡️
.
This haircut makes me miss short hair! Dream city! 😍😍😍

Chai Latte ☕️✨ Blonde 👱🏼‍♀️
.
This sweet girl had been my client since she was in 3rd grade. That’s terrifying. But also so AMAZING! 🤍
.
Second she was blessed with the MOST BEAUTIFUL natural warm, red tones in her hair! She loves to be blonde and with that ques the cinnamon spice blonde shades we achieve with her. ✨🍂
.
Instead of fighting them each appointment we embrace her natural warm tones while cooling off her blondes with the @schwarzkopfusa goodbye yellow shampoo at home and BAM it’s the perfect neutralizing combo to keep her feeling bright. 🙌🏼
.
Do you use an at home shampoo to maintain your desired shade? It makes such a huge difference! 🤍

Let’s talk TOOLS! 🛠
.
One of the biggest complaints I get from clients are - at home styling frustrations- I CANT BLOW DRY MY HAIR. 😩
.
Well guys if you were trying to hammer a nail in the wall would you use a pillow?? NO! Correct tools are KEY! 🙌🏼
.
Take these brushes for example.. these beautiful @oliviagardenint square bristle brushes are amazing for creating volume while utilizing the flat side of the brush to create straight sleek looking hair.. vs a round brush that makes a hard C shape in the hair. Simple tricks of knowing how to utilize your tools can make all the difference!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
.
So! What’s your at home routine to achieve your desired look include?? Do you think you have all the right tools!? Just ask away and I’ll help ya determine that! 🙋🏻‍♀️♥️

Creating SOFTNESS ✨
.
How many of you have had a haircut, that when you got home you felt really heavy around the perimeter or in your crown area where ya needed a little lift!? 🙋🏻‍♀️
.
Tip of the day- dry texturizing/detailing is JUST AS important as creating a solid structure when creating a haircut. 💁🏻‍♀️
.
It’s so important to build a solid floor/walls/roof ( if you have been here a while you know my haircuts are built like structures ) but if those sections are build with club or straight cuts you HAVE TO soften them after the cut is dry to ensure your client is not receiving the broom stick cut. 😝😝😝
.
It’s probably the one step that is most crucial! Question... when you point cut in texture... when do you close your blade?? Do you think about that?? ITS WHEN YOU ARE PULLING OUT of the section! Try to focus on that today. It’s a huge finger saver my friends. 🤕😅

Volume!!! 🤩🤩🤩
.
Ok let’s talk how to achieve that height! This beautiful client was blown dry with an @oliviagardenint round brush and the products used when wet were the @hairphixhaircare volume gel at her roots and an @youngliving Mirah hair oil on her ends. Once dry I then sprinkled the @schwarzkopfusa DUST IT 🥰 at her roots and began to back comb...
.
TRICK- start with a front section first.. back comb with a down and forward motion.. then grab another section directly behind your first and comb that section down and into your first section creating one solid section! The key is to build a foundation and then smooth. 😎
.
Do you see how high I can get the hair with just the proper technique!??
.
Continue around the head and BAM 💥 Volume for days!
.
Does this help you understand back combing more loves!!?? Now you try! 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

VOLUME! 😎
.
We all want it! No one likes looking like a drowning rat! 🐀
.
Solution- proper product application, tools, and techniques!
.
My favorite products for volume are the @hairphixhaircare volume/styling gel , the @schwarzkopfusa dust it, and the @kenraprofessional dry texture spray! These all add a little grit to the hair shaft which aids in creating volume when back combed or blown dry with a round brush. ✨
.
My favorite round brush line is @oliviagardenint . So many size/ shape options! 🙌🏼
.
When you combine products to pump up your cuticle with round brushing hair when wet you truly achieve the best results! The dust it from @schwarzkopfpro can be applied before back combing, after blown dry for best results!
.
Next how to video... proper back combing techniques. How many of you struggle with that!?! I’ll help a sister out! 😘
