2. The Cherry Pick Technique 🍒

However, when lightening textured hair that is curly, Alfaparf Milano Guest Artist Keya Neal (@keyaartistically) advises against taking super clean sections. Why? Because clean slices will create lines of demarcation. “I want good partings, but I don’t want the lines to be so hard,” she notes. So if she’s adding more than one tone into the hair, Keya will do her cherry pick technique. Here’s how it works:

• Take a section of hair and weave, picking the curls you want to color.
• Clip the half of the weave that will act as negative space out of the way.
• Then, apply lightener to the weaved curls that will function as the pop of brightness.

3. How To Transition Summer Blondes For Fall

For bright summer blondes who want to tone it down for fall, Alfaparf Milano Guest Artist Yohayne Garcia (@yohayne) recommends reverse balayage. There’s usually more depth in the back and around the sides, so this technique adds dimension back into those areas with the help of shadow roots, lowlights and color melting. Just be sure to maintain brightness in the front because these clients still want to see that pop of blonde when they look in the mirror.
