Local Inspiration by Melanie Backlund from Shag High Voltage Hair

What a change! An incredible transformation done by Melanie Backlund from Shag High Voltage Hair in Port Elizabeth.

My guest came in with the perfect canvas! She had completely natural colour, and was super ready for a massive change but still preferred the idea of a low maintenance look.

The method:

A combination of teasylights and chunky woven and backcombed slices. I kept these fairly scattered to ensure a good amount of natural depth was maintained.

The formula:

Lightener - I used Schwarzkopf BlondMe and 7 vol

Glaze - I used Schwarzkopf Vibrance 9,5-1 + 9,5-5 (2:1 ratio) and 6 volume gel

Stylist: Melanie Backlund

Salon: Shag High Voltage Hair, Port Elizabeth
