Reaching for the dreamy new Redken x Shades EQ foils🗽

This one step changed everything for me:
I stopped parting on dry hair and started creating my sections on wet hair first.

Most stylists don’t realize their “messy sections” problem is actually a scalp science problem.
Dry hair = lifted cuticle, static, distorted density, and uneven guides that create uneven tension.

Here’s the truth:
👉 Wet hair = cleaner sections = safer tension = healthier installs.

Hydrated roots lie flatter, the cuticle compresses, and you can finally see the client’s true density and growth patterns, which means every row is balanced and every follicle is protected.

This is the foundation of damage free extensions.
Book your dream hair ✨

Nothing hits like a seamless before + after.
We added custom-blended extensions for fuller, longer, healthier-looking hair that still feels totally natural.

My approach is always:
✔️ Perfect color match
✔️ Method that supports your hair goals
✔️ Placement designed for blend + movement
✔️ Cut + finish that makes it yours

Enhancing natural beauty is the whole vibe ✨
I got to do my coworker extensions and this was so fun to create. We kept it simple, seamless, and super customized with one row of sew in extensions for that perfect little boost.

For her color I used Redken 10 Minute Permanent Color in 7N. I always formulate one level lighter with 10 minute color since it deposits fast which is perfect for an on the spot shadow root. Our target level was a 6 and it landed beautifully.

I finished with a customized dry cut to blend everything into her natural hair for that “you but elevated” finish 🤌✨

What do you think of her glow up?

Blunt bobs hold so much weight, so getting a seamless blend with hair extensions isn’t about “just adding hair.” It’s about choosing the right method + customizing every detail.

Here’s what actually makes the transformation look natural:

✨ Choosing the right method
Tape-ins lay flat, diffuse the heavy line, and let me build a soft transition zone without adding bulk. They’re the most forgiving method for blunt cuts.

✨ Dialing in the color match
Blunt bobs show EVERYTHING. Matching tones, undertones, and light reflection is what keeps the extensions invisible (especially around that weight line).

✨ Density matching density
Your natural hair’s thickness matters. A blunt cut with strong density needs enough extension hair to balance it, too little and it looks stringy, too much and it looks blocky.

✨ Strategic placement
This is the real magic. I place smaller panels right at the line of demarcation, stack density where she needs support, and keep everything ultra-flat so the blend reads soft and seamless.

When all four align → the bob disappears and the long hair looks believable.

If you’re growing out a blunt cut and want to skip months of awkward stages… this is your sign. 💁🏼‍♀️✨
