Raylene's QuestionDo you have any hair style ideas for updos? I'm also wondering about hair color.I was wondering if you have any hair style ideas for updos.
My hair is longer now given this was almost a year ago. If you could keep the picture private it would be appreciated thank you. I hope you email back cause I am nervous sending this pic on.
Looking for any color ideas or how to make it look better. Please be kind. I do not take good photos ... Raylene
Nicole's Answer:Dear RayleneYou have beautiful color and great curls!
For color I would only enhance what you have. You could do a low light or high light 1 to 3 shades darker or lighter. It really depends on what you are looking for.
Staying 1 to 3 shades in your natural color will just enhance what you have. I would foil highlight the color. This gives a more natural look. For this technique I would definitely see a professional.
I love it! You have my favorite color of hair!
The length of your hair is great for up-dos. The layers, however, do limit you a little bit. But it seems from your pictures that you have a handle on putting it up.
I would recommend the Frenchy and the Double Take looks out of my book Strictly Curls. When you have mastered those looks, I would try the Twisted Up and the Princess.
I highly recommend checking out the book. You can get a sneak peak inside the book on my web site: www.Strictlycurls.com! Your local book store may carry it as well.
Best Wishes, Nicole
