My secret is out! Ok, it is not really that much of a surprise, I am obsessed with hair. Embarrassingly enough if you look back at my pictures from high school I had about every color of hair that exists. I had bleach blonde, to jet black, to Ariel the Mermaid red.
I love washing my hair after getting a hair cut. I love making homemade hair masks and I love the styling and coloring my friend’s hair. My Instagram feed is filled with mommy bloggers braiding their little girl’s hair, hair transformations on stylists accounts, and anything hair related. I just cannot help it!
My friends ask me quite often to color, cut, and style their hair. Now with all of my YouTube knowledge, I research the crap out of products, dyes, techniques, and colors. After years of learning and testing and trying I am going to finally share what I have learned with examples on my blog!
Here is my most recent styling to give you a little taste of what I plan to do!
Ali-Caramel Highlights
This gorgeous girl knows me very well. She’s been a roommate, a friend, and so much more! Now as she prepares to graduate college she needed a bit of a change. She came to me with a picture of gradual highlights that went all the way to blonde. One thing to remember when you bring a stylist a picture, there are such things as filters, photoshop, lighting tricks, and tones in your hair. This all effects what you can, and cannot do with your hair.

I took about two hours putting in the highlight foils, washing, blow-drying and curling this gorgeous warm brown hair. We gossipped, watched videos from Dance Moms, and discussed my upcoming wedding. Getting your hair done whether in a salon or an apartment kitchen is still a bonding moment for us girls and I love spending that quality time with my friends while I play with their hair.
I love this girl and I am very grateful to have her friendship and trust. Oh, by the way, this was her first color ever! How lucky am I?
