A step-by-step demonstration by Kendra Alia for Kenra Professional:
Introduction to Copper Colormelt
Kendra shares her excitement about creating a dimensional copper colormelt, specifically designed for curly hair. Her focus is on achieving a rich copper effect that maintains the health and texture of curls, using a method that allows for natural-looking, low-maintenance color with plenty of dimension.
Sectioning Strategy
Kendra emphasizes strategic sectioning, particularly around the ears and nape, using larger sections at the back and smaller sections toward the front. She begins with foil placement to ensure even color distribution, mentioning that foil density varies by section size. This approach creates dimension that remains visible regardless of hairstyle.
Foiling Technique
Kendra describes a zigzag and weave technique for foiling, which she explains helps to achieve a more blended and soft color effect, especially important for curly hair. She ensures that foils are not tightly pressed against the curls, allowing space to prevent curls from flattening or losing integrity during the coloring process.
Creating Dimension and Face Framing
For added dimension around the face, Kendra introduces face-framing techniques that highlight the crown and sides. This method brings light to the face without adding color directly to the hairline. She uses soft slices and feathering techniques, balancing brightness with subtlety for a natural gradient effect.
Final Steps and Client Consideration
Throughout, Kendra stresses client-specific customization, such as understanding how clients part their hair and accounting for styling preferences. She emphasizes maintaining hair health by gentle detangling, mindful sectioning, and using a controlled foil placement.
