Cathy Ponsford @cat_ponsford PortfolioThis blonde balayage was done on a level 6/7 natural hair. | took small, one inch sections from the base and back combed it to break the line. | then painted bleach with 20 vol, and toned with shades 9p and 8n This updo is called chignon. | started with the hair from the ear back in a pony tail. Then I took small sections and twisted and pinned them back. Then | took each section from the front back while twisting and loosening it.On this client I used equal parts 8.34 and 8.0 with 20 vol. Her natural is a blend of grey with a level 7 base. | was also matching the extensions which are a level 7 copper. On this client | would use a 2 clipper shaved up to the temple. Then | would take the top and scissor cut it at a 90% angle. | would then follow the shape of the head and use thinning shears to blend it.
