Sandy Dhami, 45, works in education and was feeling as though her hair was not exceeding its potential and needed extra attention.

Dhami has medium density, naturally dark-brown hair. It was previously coloured and was experiencing banding, fading and overall dullness. To even out her tone, I began the process with a colour remover to help eliminate the layers of old colour from her hair. I then applied a permanent colour to her outgrowth using a rich coffee-brown shade and balanced out her middle and ends with a demipermanent, ammonia-free glaze in the same tone.

I shampooed her hair using Oribe Brilliance and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. I eliminated several inches from her length, creating a collar length texture style for an elevated and polished look.

Before styling, I applied the Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream for added conditioning and to provide heat protection. I also sprayed her mid-lengths and ends with Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray then blow dried her hair with a round brush. To finish the style, I used Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray for added invisible volume and texture.

Makeup:

To refresh Dhami’s makeup, we evened out her complexion with sheer foundation and concealer to brighten under her eyes. I contoured her face with a cream bronzer and used a copper-bronze cream eyeshadow to dress her eyes. I kept her lips neutral by using a sheer pink gloss.

Makeup used:

Foundation: MAC Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiance Sheer Foundation in shade C5

Concealer: Tula Concealer in shade #150

Eyeshadow: Marcelle Long Wear Shadow Pencil in Galactic Copper

Bronzer/contour: Milk Makeup Matte Bronzer Stick in Blaze
