Featuring Joico Global Technical Director, Jeannetta Walker-Rodgers
Sometimes, a hair color goal focuses on maintenance; other times, it’s all about recreating gorgeous celebrity inspo. For Joico Global Technical Director, Jeannetta Walker-Rodgers, this caramel balayage hit both notes. “I wanted to recreate Megan Thee Stallion’s caramel highlights, and transform my client’s dark base to a low-maintenance look,” she explains.
How Jeannetta describes the look…
“Free-painted curls kissed with caramel.”

Why you should try it…
“Open-air processing helps ensure that the highlights don’t process too light, and leaves support of underlying pigment for a warm result,” explains Jeannetta of her technique. “It’s an awesome way for a stylist to break free of foiling, and potentially over-lightening the hair. Plus, it’s a quick, easy way to use curl groupings as a roadmap to accentuate light and depth exactly where you want to see it.”

How Jeannetta describes the look…
“It’s a subtle transformation that’s low maintenance, softening her overall appearance, and complementing her skin.”
