Color COLOR and MORE COLOR

I had a wonderful day on Thursday as the class was reintroduced to Redken's Shades EQ haircolor. We got to experiment by coloring our manikin hair with a demi-permanent color. It just coats the hair with color and washes out in 8-10 shampoos. Our manikins were already highlighted and colored from our last semester>so we got to color and highlight it again. I started by slicing highlights and applying the .5ozBonfire color along the strand. I put 2 or 3 back to back foils of the Bonfire. Then sliced and put the highlights on every other parting. A total of 7 foils. Then I left the leftover Bonfire in the bowl and added 1ozSangria to the bowl and applied to the rest of the hair on the sides and back. I focused on applying more color near the scalp and less as I got to the ends. When the color application was over I put a plastic bag over the hair and put the manikin into the wig dryer. I let it dry 15-20 minutes. Then I removed foils and shampooed with remaining color and rinsed until water ran clear. Then I shampooed lightly and put conditioner in the hair. Then I blewdried her hair and put a litttle conditioner in and then flat ironed. That was my fun Thursday. Today I worked on various hair designs and curled her hair. I will enjoy designing Snappy's hair until it washes out and back to normal. That will be a sad day :( Until then I will keep designing her and enjoy looking at the beautiful warm colors she now has>something to brighten up my days!
