Rockin Gift Wrap!

It's Christmas Eve Y'all!

And I'm just finishing up wrapping!

Getting Festive! 

Hard Core!

I got the rock 'n' roll flare

I was riding on this vibe see

A lil Brit-Punk & a bit Van Halen!

Here's how  I did it

Started with a base of red plaid

Then I went mental with lots of tape

Remember last years VHS Tape Ribbons...

Made bows with them!

Delirious

Holographic Santa 3-D Specs!...

Thanks Amber!

Weeeeeeee!

Charli has her ugly sweater on!

Minimal giftwrap.

Just snarky enough for a work party!

Van Halen might be playing in the background!

Making a duct tape bow

Getting loopy

Level one

Level two and it's a blurrrrrrrr

Just like the passage of time before the holidays! 

Level two complete.

A Little Center Loop and you're done!

Typically I think there's usually a third row before the center loop goes in...

But this is Rock n' Roll...

;-D

Get your Gifts Wrapped!

Make It Rock Out!

XOXO

Rainbow Hair, Don't Care!

Style Consulting Fun!!!

Before/After:

The Inspo:

Process:

First:

I gathered ALL the supplies:

And busted out the Bleach:

We needed a blank canvas.

There was a bit of semi permanent color that was applied a few months ago.

Her baby fine hair lifted super easy!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

USING BLEACH ON HAIR & SCALP CAN BE TRICKY & REQUIRES EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE RESULTS & PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE HAIR & SKIN!!!

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR TRUSTED PROFESSIONAL!

Shampoo/conditioner/dry & trimmed to better read where each color would fall in context to the layers.

I prefer dry cutting when I'm studying the movement of a cut like this.

 Like Sculp-Chahhhh!

NOW

Ready for RAINBOW!!!

Zig zag-a-licious chunky partings using the direction her hair likes to move in.

In the back I angled down into a point, for the green to purple could be visible under the top layers of the cut.

OMGZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

RAPTURE!!!

Thank you Via, for giving me the opportunity to rock out some Rainbow!!!

Wo0t!

Make an appointment...

Make a change...

Make A RAINBOW!!!

Most important, MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO

Stretch the holes so the tendrils get thin & split...

& get out your frustrations......

About Life.....

& it's wanting you to stay in your box....

& color inside the lines-ness!!!!

Give the other side a similar treatment...

I try not to go for symmetry... That would not feel as "authentic"... X-D

Legging Therapy...

Looks Perf w/my U2|WAR T-shirt! 

Now go get those old leggings that you buried in the bottom of your drawer bc you were afraid to be seen in them, & DO THEM OVER!

Make A T-Shirt Rock!!! No-Sew Style!

Once Upon A Time...

No-Sew Make Over
