After a consultation with Cheryl I understood that she wanted a long fringe neckline and height and volume in the crown.  This was achieved by overdirecting the hair at the neckline and side fringe which was later cut piece-y with the shears in a point cutting method.  She has lots of natural body and we recently colored over her highlights with a dark brown closer to her natural color but one that will fade away gradually revealing her highlights over time.

Caroline has considered having a body wave put in for at least a year.  It turned out beautiful and very natural looking.  I chose a permanent wave solution that is very gentle and explained that she could blow this curl completely straight since it's such a soft effect.  Another reason I like this perm because there will never be a definitive "line" because it relaxs over time, so it grows out especially well.  After the process and just a slight trim, I blew dry the hair slowly at first just using my hands to scrunch the interior for a very casual look and then a medium size round brush especially around the perimeter to pull out some of the fresh curl.  Sexy Hair Mousse was used.

This is one of those times I wish we'd taken a BEFORE picture because it was quite the transformation!  Jenny arrived at the salon with curly hair down to the middle of her back, in a ponytail.  She was ready for a change and had seen a photo of Marlene T's hair on this website and asked if her hair would do well in that cut.  We decided to go for it.  It's such an easy to care for style, she got the volume she wanted using a round brush to blow dry the top and scrunched the rest to bring out her natural texture.
