Mommy Makeover With Hair Extensions

One of the most deserving moms I have met called looking for a "mommy hair makeover," she was tired of neglecting her hair due to the fact that she is a single mother working full time to raise four children; two of which having severe illness.  Not all moms can afford to be off their feet during tummy tucks, etc., therefore, she decided to address her hair.  

As you can see by her before picture, her hair was in dire need of a color correction and was broken due to chemical processes.  We addressed her color by doing a reverse balayage, this is what she desired in the first place.  We created a shadow root by using Matrix 505N, this created a neutral pallet.  We then toned and softened her highlights with Lakeme hair color in 8.21, Lakme is an exclusive color line from Spain which is ash-based.  Lakme is a rich color line that adds lots of shine and depth to the hair.  

Once her color was corrected, we chose Veila pull-thru hair extensions which are the gentlest extensions on natural hair.  Since her hair was damaged, we decided that the pull-thru method would not cause undue stress to her hair follicles, and help her hair to grow healthy.  We mixed 3 shades, a chocolate brown to match her base color, and color 4/12  a rich brown with ash highlights, which accentuated her new highlights.  Two packs of Veila extensions were applied, and then the fun begins, I am being facetious, the "fun" means blending her own hair into the hair extensions.  

1). We determined her desired length, which was just below her bra line, at any time we can cut the length, but we prefer to initially leave the extensions a bit on the long side.

2). Layers were created with a "feather razor" which carefully skims the ends of the hair extensions without cutting too deep.  The layers must blend from her natural hair to the ends of the hair extensions paying extra attention to create a soft and natural blend.

3). The intent of her style was natural loose waves which were done with a 1.25" curling iron barrel.  Her hair can also be worn straight with no visible lines of demarcation between her own hair and the hair extensions.

Her eyes filled with tears as she looked in the mirror, her makeover was what she needed to pamper herself.  It is amazing what hair can do for your self-esteem and overall look.  The most enjoyable part of her appointment was getting to know her, and appreciating how hard she has to work to raise her family alone.
