Extreme Makeover, Blogeress edititon.

... Just kidding.  I mean, I had planned on doing an extreme makeover on the homliest girl I could find.  Like I wanted to do the before and after pics like weight-loss pills do theirs.  Fat, pale, no make-up, and frizzy hair in the "before" pic and then abra-ca-fucking-dabra, she's tan and toned and gorgeous.  Welp, the man upstairs had a different plan, because he sent me a betty, not a bertha.  Amber.  Even her name sounds hot.  I've never met an ugly girl named Amber. 

  Miss Amber has been a victim of a box-color addiction. Enter Cher from the movie Clueless, a.k.a. me.  Amber will be my Tai (mmm... mai tai..stay focused)

Tonight I am going to perform some good old-fashioned cosmetologist magic on Amber.  She's too pretty to have hair like this. 

• 6:30 PM I arrive at Amber's house.  We do a consultation and I tell her my ideas for her.  We decide to keep her blonde and keep her hair as long as possible while looking fuller and healthier.

• 7:45 PM I begin by applying a darker blonde to all of her hair  beneath her occipital bone.  Next, I do a partial foil from her temples to crown using an ash blonde color, cool mahogany, and dark blonde.

• 8:30PM We rinse the foils and color.  I used Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo on her and Joico K-pak conditioner.  Since Amber's hair is very fine, I explain to her to use the conditioner BEFORE she shampoos so that she can get all the benefits of the K-pak reconstructing conditioner without her hair being weighed down.  I leave her with these products to help her hair on the road to recovery!

• 8:40PM I cut her hair.  I take off several inches of overprocessed hair and add some long layers. 

• 8:50PM Barberess Dee's Blowdrying Course 101  I get a mirror for Amber to watch while I blowdry and teach her to do the same.  I show her how to apply product and section hair. We use a tiny amount of Super Skinny Serum by Paul Mitchell that I mix in my palm with some BedHead Masterpiece hairspray. Amber's fine hair that has a tendency to frizz makes her a perfect candidate for velcro rollers.  I show her how to dry each section and roll in a roller.  When I am done drying her hair, I take the rollers out and add a little more hairspray and voila!

Check back in soon, Amber!  Let us know how you're doing with your new hair!  Isn't she a babe?
