Brittany from Kenra Professional introduces the pumpkin spice hair transition, moving from a balayage blonde to a rich pumpkin spice color.
Sectioning the Hair
- The hair is divided into five sections:
- Two sections at the back
- One mohawk section down the center
- One section on each side
- Brittany emphasizes incorporating the center part to align with how the model usually styles her hair.
Creating Baby Lights
- Initial Steps: Starting in the back quadrants, Brittany begins with baby lights along the hairline.
- Triple Baby Lights: She describes the technique for creating triple baby lights, which involves a specific pattern of applying lightener to achieve brightness without being overly bold.
- The pattern includes: one baby light, a skip, another baby light, another skip, and a final baby light.
- Lightener Used: Brittany uses Simply Blonde Beyond Bond Lightener for effective lifting, which can lighten hair up to nine levels while preserving hair health.
- Spacing Technique: As she moves toward the crown, she spaces out the highlights to introduce depth and diffusion.
Continuing the Highlight Process
- Brittany mirrors the same process on the other side of the model’s head.
- On the front hairline, she emphasizes the importance of avoiding overlap with previously highlighted areas.
- She tapers off the highlights toward the back to create a balanced look with brightness framing the face.
Top Section Highlights
- The top section is treated similarly, focusing on baby lights in the front and triple baby lights across the top.
- Brittany ensures that the brightness is distributed evenly around the center part.
- She describes weaving the hair from both sides of the part for consistency in the final look.
Processing and Preparing for Glaze
- After completing the foiling, Brittany lets the model process for about 30 minutes, checking for the desired level of lift.
- Upon reaching a level 9 lift, she shampoos and conditions the hair with Kenra products.
- She uses Kenra Color Porosity Equalizing Spray to prepare for the next application.
Applying the Root Color and Glaze
- The hair is split into four quadrants for easier application of the root color and glaze.
- The root color consists of Kenra Demi-permanent 6C mixed with 7NB, applied carefully to avoid overlapping with the brighter areas.
- Brittany uses diagonal slices during application to create a more diffused look.
- After applying the root color, she follows with an overall glaze, marrying the colors together at the meeting point.
Final Result and Conclusion
- After allowing the glaze to process for 15 minutes, Brittany showcases the final pumpkin spice transition.
- The technique results in a vibrant, warm color with depth, highlighting the importance of using a balanced approach to achieve beautiful hair color.
