What if you could control frizz and reverse damage?
I saw both of these benefits with F I L A M E N T
I love trying out new products and this one impressed.
✨Improves tensile strength.
✨ Reduces frizz and detangles.
Stay tuned for more results. I can’t wait to try this on different heads of hair.
Think Applying a Base Color is Easy?
There is actually a lot that goes into a really good base application.
✨I only apply my Goldwell US Topchic base color to the regrowth.
✨ I slightly elevate each section to prevent the color from pushing down into the hair underneath.
✨Formulation is key. Know where you’re starting and where you’re going and how gray hair can change the formula.
Goldwell US TopChic and TopChic Zero color is so pretty and reflective. While giving you 100% grey coverage.

Things I did in the 90’s I still do today!
Root Smudge Hack!
After applying my base color and my highlights I gently pull the lighter off the hair and smudge the base color into the root of my highlight.

Why do you need to base break?
Here’s another example of why I love a base breaking. For this client, I wanted a warm result for her gray blending between Balayage appointments.
I used Goldwell US Topchic 10N 15 vol.
I apply it quickly because it only processes for 3 to 5 minutes after application.
For those who ask how it grows out, see how soft the grow out is in the photo of her before. That was four months from her last color application.

Why even bother Hand Painting?
I see this question a lot. You don’t need to Balayage you get the same look with foils. Although I also love foil work there is a definite place for hand-painted Balayage. The results are unlike any other technique. If you’re not painting hair, I encourage you to take a class and start.
I offer private, semi private and group classes.
It’s challenging, fun and creative!

If you’re not base breaking, you’re missing out.
I’m using Goldwell US Light Dimensions Brightener in neutral.
This is one of my most versatile techniques. Whether I’m brightening the base on a blonde for a more tone on tone look or controlling yellow on previously blonde ends. I’m reaching for Goldwell’s brighter.
I apply it quickly because it only processes for five minutes. Gentle lift, and control all in one step.
