Many people make all sorts of New Year's
Resolutions. While a new resolve to eat right or exercise may not
last more than a few weeks, a new hairstyle makeover will endure for
many months, if not for the entire year. What better time to toss out
the old hair for the new than the beginning?
Before
Model Eesha visited the fabulous Gerard
Bollei Salon, NYC (212-759-7985) recently for help ringing
in the New Year for her thick, bulky, weighed down ebony colored mane
that grazed the top of her shoulders.
The Makeover
The salon's very talented colorist, Joanne
Alvarez, treated Eesha's naturally wavy bulky locks with a
non-ammonia color to remove any leftover highlights that had lost
their luster.
The color treatment softened and
balanced the overall color. It also added depth and a beautiful
shine.
After Hair Makeover
Bollei Hairstylist Cassie Rita designed a new cut that
accentuated Eesha's gorgeous eyes, stunning skin and lips with a
delicate face framing style.

Wispy
bangs were artfully layered and texturized to fall softly a little
above Eesha's beautifully arched eyebrows.
The newly created fringe minimized Eesha's wide forehead
and caused her stunning eyes to literally pop.
Although not much length was trimmed
from Eesha's previous shoulder length style, long layers were carved
into her originally bulky shape adding instant sleekness and brilliant
new cheek
bone definition.
The end result? A chic, bob like,
face framing cap, with slightly flicked ends, that nestled underneath Eesha's chin,
just about her shoulder tips.
The gorgeous new sleek style also
highlighted her sensual rosebud lips and luminescent skin.
This makeover completely transformed Eesha's facial appearance and the texture
of her tresses.
After Hair Makeover Styling Tips
 The
key to re-creating this style at home is to use a good post-shampoo
defrisant product like
Phytodefrisant
to control fizzy waves and/or curls and maintain the sultry
sleekness.
Blow-dry the style with a flat or
paddle
style brush to get sleek straight trands and then use a
round
brush for gentle root lift and light flicks on the ends. Add a bit
of
mousse
to help with volume creation.
Finishing
Touches
 Apply a tiny bit of
styling
cream or gel to the bangs and then finger pick to give them that
sexy, just tousled style.
To add even more color depth opt for
Ken
Paves Healthy Hair Boost Up Color Drops in your favorite hue.
Or you may wish to use a color enhancing shampoo to pump up the color.
Add a dab of shine with
Phyto's PhyoLisse,
Rene
Furterer's Spray Gloss or
Ken Paves Healthy Hair Shine Serum. Another option is Robert Hallowell's
Love That Shine Drops and you will have a bright and shiny
hairstyle.
