Jen's sleek and sexy new 'do

Jen
Hair type
Naturally curly, frizzy

The look
The look is tone-on-tone highlights. This is a great way for people with naturally dark hair to change their colour without damage. The cut is layers with a side bang.

What did Jen's hair look like before and what did you do to achieve this look?
Jen usually wears her hair wavy and works with her natural texture; however, she wanted a sleek, straight hairstyle she could have more fun with. We added highlights and then coloured them so that it looked like the sun naturally lightened her hair. For her cut we kept the length but added face-framing layers and a side-swept bang for a sexy style.

What things should you consider before getting this hairstyle/colour?
To achieve this look you'll need to set aside 30 minutes every one to two days to style it. Before you commit to a style, consult with your stylist to make sure you want to spend that much time styling your hair.

What's your styling advice?
Start styling in the shower with Frizz-Ease Straight Ahead Style-Starting Shampoo and Conditioner. Follow with Frizz-Ease Serum in the shower. Use a paddle brush to blow-dry two-inch sections of hair. Once hair is fully dry, apply Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon to hair to prevent flyaways and to smooth hair, leaving a silky, shiny look.

Maintenance tips?
We recommend that Jen use John Frieda's Luminous Colour Glaze Copper to Scarlet three times a week to maintain the tone-on-tone look of her colour.

Dos and don'ts?
Don't blow-dry hair upside down, as it will create more frizz. Do point the blow dryer down the hair shaft, as this will help the cuticle layers to lie smooth.
