Jess P. Hair Studio

1 year, and 6 appointments later. We have reached her blonde goals! 😍 it’s such a soft, dreamy blonde. From here we’ll be maintaining until she’s ready for something new.

Her hair was previously lightened and then colored over which means we had to be super gentle while lifting out the color. That means taking our time, trusting the process, and enjoying the journey. 🪴

There’s no such thing as a dumb question. That’s how we learn!

I like to hand paint her highlights. Her hair is naturally really light so it lightens fast and doesn’t need the heat from foils to get her where she wants to be. It’s perfect for that lived-in, sun-kissed vibe. 😍

I’m still here! I’ve taken a step back from posting for a long while and honestly have enjoyed it. But here’s a super fun transformation from this morning. She was ready for a more dimensional blonde and a fresh, fun cut for spring/summer!

Nobody said you HAVE to go darker in the fall. A bright dimensional blonde is never out of style. 😍

You aren’t “mean” for setting boundaries or “complicated” or “impossible”. Setting boundaries means taking care of yourself.

I needed to free up some space and was going through deleting old photos and found these gems! Soft tones, low maintenance grow out, dimensional. I don’t think these looks will ever truly go out of style. Any of these catching your eye? Bring it to your next appointment and let me recreate it for you!

5 struggles you might have with FINE hair and how to overcome them:

1. Lack of volume + Body.
- Use lightweight sprays when styling. Not heavy creams or oils.
- blow dry using a round brush, lifting up and over in the opposite direction the hair lays to lock in volume as your hair dries.

2. Oiliness + Limp roots
- shampoo every 1-2 days using a gentle, lightweight shampoo. Avoid heavy moisture formulas.
- Apply conditioner to the mids-ends of your hair only. (Yes, you need to use conditioner.)

3. Breakage + Fragility
- always use heat protection. Lower your iron temp to 300-325 max.
- limit tight ponytails or harsh elastics. Scrunchies and clips are your friend.

4. Difficulty holding a style.
- prep with a lightweight styling spray on damp hair before blow drying.
- curl smaller sections and allow them to cool completely before you touch them.

5. Ends appear see through or sparse.
- opt for a blunt cut, or softly textured long layers to maintain fullness
- dimensional color incorporating lowlights, shadow roots, or root melts can create a visually thicker appearance.

Save this post so you can come back and let me know if you try any of these tips and whether or not they work for you!

Some photos from the week ft the sweetest surprise at the end. 🥰

A lot of people are embracing their natural color right now. You don’t have to just wait and cut it off. Let your stylist pop in some lowlights that are as close as possible to your natural hair color for a really pretty dimensional color that’s perfect for fall!
