Deborah G. Knight3rd Place Tiffany Formal Design Recipient
Preparation
The model’s hair was prepared by applying Yo.Coloring 10.2 and Mixy.Milk 2 to the base. Lightening was achieved with the hair directed forward, slicing diagonally from the temple to the corner of the eyebrow following a curve with Liding Lunex Ultra Cream Superlifter and 20 Volume UNI Oxy Universal Cream Peroxyde for 20 minutes. The hair was then cleansed with Liding Life Frequence System. Once cleansed, the hair was protected using Liding Life Rephair Spray while damp and combed through to distribute evenly. Then, Liding Control Gel and Liding Hot Nutrition were applied, in addition to Moroccan Oil Original Oil, for shine. Once the hair was blown dry, it was set in hot rollers with Liding Hot Gloss. The rollers were removed, and styling began.
Styling Technique
For this elegant design, three “V” shaped sections in the back of the head that pointed toward the center part line. From here, a low ponytail was made and braided, smoothed with Liding Sculpting Wax, then tucked under the middle “V” shape section and pinned in place. Working from side to side and using each “V” section as a base, pieces were sculpted and smoothed with Liding Sculpting Wax and Liding Finishing Eco Strong to mould “C” shapes that form this design’s flowing composition. These pieces were pinned into place while taken from each side. Finally, to finish the design for photographing, the model’s hair was held in place with Liding Finishing Eco Strong.
