Check Lorikay out.  She is a photographer and friend of mine located here at Studioplex.  She does great photo work as well!

She has a black and white portrait of a pair of hands holding a beautiful newborn that is one of my favorites.   http://www.lorikayphotography.com/

On Lorikay I decided to spice up her look with a little touch of red in her highlights.

I did a partial foil using lifting powder, while at the same time using a level 5 1/2 natural gold on her regrowth to cover her unpigmented hair and lighten her base a little from the previous base color she has used.  After processing for 20-30 minutes I dried her hair and toned her highlights alternating colors of a level 9 gold and a level 7 copper gold.

The cut was a  long layered haircut with plenty of slide cutting and texturizing action for plenty of movement.  Then off she went to Paris and for a cool trip.

Can’t wait to hear all about that!

Thanks to all of you for a wonderful summer of taking care of you, and I look forward to the next time I see you!
