Hill I’ll die on: going darker isn’t just about “adding some lowlights.”
After nearly 30 years in the industry, I’ve created my fair share of disasters 😂 but I’d like to think I’ve learnt even more from them.
And one of the biggest things I’ve learnt is that when you’re taking blonde hair darker, the real skill is understanding:
what’s missing, what needs replacing, how much depth you actually want to create, and where that colour needs to sit.
Whether you’re lowlighting, glazing, toning or colouring, you’re still using colour.
The difference is in the intention behind the formula and the placement.
Because if you don’t understand the canvas underneath, you can make something look muddy, hollow, too warm, too cool or just completely flat very quickly.
That’s the bit I love teaching.
Not just what to put on the hair , but why.
