Low-Maintenance “Teddy Bear Bronde”

Featuring BTC Brand Content Creator, Melissa Maloney

How did BTC Brand Content Creator, Melissa Maloney, take a color-correction client from unhappy to positively joi-ful? By transforming her existing brassy/stripey highlights into a luxe, blended brunette that’s both low-maintenance and natural looking. “This client reached out after having had her hair done somewhere else, and she felt like the highlights were harsh and stripey and the color was too brassy. So, our goal was to create a very blended, low-maintenance look that included more of her natural brunette base,” explains Melissa.

“Seamless blends are the key to luxury, low-maintenance hair color – they give the hair a high-end, expensive look. And, in my opinion, natural looking dimension is ALWAYS on trend. ” – Melissa Maloney

Melissa’s pro tips…

The key to keeping things natural: “Deep teases allow you to create seamless blends while taking thick sections and chunky weaves.”

The disappearing trick: “Painting the tease with your depth formula is the easiest way to erase harsh lines.”

Keep it deep: “Use these depth pockets in areas where the previous highlights are harsh or stripey.”
