A step-by-step guide to transforming long layered hair into gorgeous glossy curls, from Aveda Global Director Antoinette Beenders and the Aveda artistic team.
Cut
|
 | > |  | > |  |
| BEFORE | | 1. A dipped horseshoe parting was created, and the top secured away. | | 2. Starting at the front hairline, diagonal sections were taken and the length razor-cut. |
 | > |  | > |  |
| 3. This was continued around the head towards the back, using the previous guide. | | 4. This was continued until the centre back position. | | 5. This was repeated on the other side, keeping the first three sections slightly longer. |
 | > | | > |  |
| 6. The third diagonal section was the longest front section. This was continued around to the centre back. | | 7. The edges were softened with a razor. | | 8. Hair was blow-dried using a flat-wrap technique. The top was trimmed with texturising scissors to blend with the bottom length. |
 | > |  |
| 9. Hair was sliced upwards, shortening the rest of the length in the diagonal sections, moving towards the front. | | 10. Pieces were taken freehand and bulk was removed. Pieces were taken from the horseshoe section, pulled forward and personalised. |
Colour
|
 | > |  | > |  |
| 1. A slightly zigzagged circle was taken on top of the head and pinned away. | | 2. A second zigzagged circle was taken, 2-3in in width, and pinned into four quarters. | | 3. In panel 3, Sumatra was applied from roots to ends. |
 | > |  | > |  |
| 4. This was secured with foil. | | 5. Chai was applied to roots to ends in panel 2. This was mixed with Sumatra on the scalp, making sure the colours blend. | | 6. Chai was applied to the rest of the hair and foil placed on top. |
 | > |  | |  |
| 7. Daybreak was applied to the entire top panel. | | 8. After hair was processed for about 15 minutes, the top section was sub-divided into two to three smaller sections, and twisted lightly to diffuse the ends. Enlightener Formula was patted onto the tops of each twisted sub-section. This was repeated on the front section | | Styling: Sections were twisted and hair was diffuse-dried, then small sections were tonged with irons and sprayed for hold. |
