When it comes to fashion, the '90s are back, and the same goes for hair. The chunky highlights look is reemerging as a color trend, and Sherry Ratay is here to share how to achieve it using three different formulas down the hair fiber, which creates a soft root area and a bright and light mid-end area. For more education from Ratay, register for one of her classes at IBS New York at the Javits Center from March 13 - 15, 2022.
- Begin by sectioning out the entire front and back hairline to create a focus of lightness within the nape and front frame to replicate the chunky but current trend of the '90s.
- Within this halo section, create lightness with babylights and lift to pale yellow.
- Analyze the hair living on top of the head and create a soft balayage within that top panel.
- To soften the visual starting point of lightness, apply a root shadow application (Formula 2), working on a diagonal line and only 1/2 to 3/4 inches down the shaft of the hair.
- Apply Formula 3 to the mid-area of the hair, leaving the last 2 to 3 inches out.
- Apply Formula 4 to the ends.
