Copper Pixie Transformation
Copper Pixie Transformation
From long and lackluster blonde to a fiery copper pixie—this transformation shows exactly how simple precision cutting and color melting techniques can change an entire look. But how? Pairing clean, soft lines that allow the hair to move freely with a rich copper blend to create an overall expensive-looking flow of vibrancy. From cut to color and styling, get the formulas and complete application step breakdown below!

HOW-TO STEPS
-
1Before
-
2Gather the hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic below the hairline. Then, cut above the band to remove the bulk of hair.
-
3Then, separate the hair into five total sections—two in front of the ear, two crown sections and the nape.
-
4Begin creating graduation by taking vertical sections in the nape and cutting the hair at a 45-degree angle with moderate tension.
-
5Working with strong tension, take diagonal sections and overdirect the hair to the weight line.
-
6Then, section away the fringe area and connect the sides by elevating to 45 degrees to create volume and a soft bevel.
-
7Overdirect the entire top section toward the crown to leave more weight at the front, then point-cut for softness.
-
8In the fringe section, elevate the hair to create softness and remove length with deep point-cutting. Blend into the sides leaving some slight disconnection.
-
9After the haircut, section the hair for the color transformation. Take a horseshoe parting on the top of the head, then separate the hair into two sections off of the part.
-
10Sectioning Pattern – Back
-
11Start by outlining the top sections with highlights. Take medium-sized weaves and apply Formula B.
-
12Alternate applying Formulas B and C in diagonal-backward highlights throughout the top sections.
-
13Then, apply Formula A to the entire root area. Bring the color down less than 3/4 inches to create a slight shadow root.
-
14Apply Formula C to the mids and ends. Process, shampoo and neutralize.
-
15To style the pixie, start applying Wella Professionals EIMI Ocean Spritz to towel-dried hair. This salt hairspray keeps the hair hydrated and creates undone texture.
-
16Then, rough-dry the hair for a textured look with movement.
-
17Finish with Wella Professionals EIMI Dry Me to create manageable matte texture that absorbs oil and builds major volume.
