lock love wednesday!!!!

Happy Lock Love Wednesday! I have been rocking a different part lately and loving my curls! It is fun having more length to work with. I started LLW to keep this hairstylist accountable.

Join with me below and link up and show off your styling techniques or beautiful hair! Follow me on Instagram @ talahairlife #locklovewed and #locklovewednesday 

I got my hair colored! I am keeping the Ombré for now! Easy and fun!

 I love cutting mens hair! It can make all the difference in the world. These are some styling men!!!! 

 Tom had the same hairstyle for 20+ years- Praise for shaving a rattail off!!!!! 

 Meet my buddy/photographer, Shawn- Thanks for the laugh! 

Nothing sweeter than wet piggys! Stunners.

 Love fixing regrowth gone wrong ;) Mary's gorgeous red!!!!!!!!!

My blondies! I love the difference foils and basebreaks make! Dana is beautiful as a blonde.

 Amanda had a reverse ombré and we are working on going platinum. I did a bleach and tone and painted in some fun magenta streaks. LOVE! 

Here is Amanda's back and pink!!!!  Looking good babe.

Chelsey has been going bleach blonde for quite a while now! I colored in two shades of brown, caramel and blonde on tips yesterday aiming for a very multi-dimensional ombré. It looks beautiful, but we wanted more of a ombré look. Sometimes, it doesn't work out as you anticipate. She is coming in for another color- I will share the after pix next week with you! Excited for a more dramatic transformation! 

Happy LLW! Join me below or on insta! Happy Spring y'all! 

Lock Love Wednesday!

Wednesdays are fun over here at Tala Hair Life. I share with you hair related posts! Here are some before and afters:

I took 4 inches off Carissa's hair and gave her lots of dimension. I foiled in a rich caramel and colored her hair with a rich deep brown.

 Melanie had a ombre going on…..we decided to start brightening it up for spring. We can dream, right? I foiled it with two lighter tones to brighten it up ;)

Love Kati's blonde hair right now!

Top right was before-- we gave Mickael a fresh new look with highlights! It is the perfect timeless cut for fine hair.

Shari is a mama of 4 and one busy lady- Short/Sassy is the perfect look for her!

 Brittney has gorgeous curly hair. I cut her hair asymmetrical and colored her hair all over with a shiny, rich brown and painted some over her tips with a caramel. I love her look!

Tanya had drab hair and we needed to give her hair a overall! I colored her hair with a rich chestnut/gold and painted her ends with a blonde. It looks stunning!

 I love this makeover! Becky has lovely hair with great texture. We don't want the maintenance of coloring her hair with an all over tint. I put in a ash brown and platinum foils to break up her hair and add dimension. I gave her a modern wedge and I love how classy it is!

Taylor rocks an amazing Ombre (before is top left). We wanted to brighten it up and add more blonde on the tips! She has amazing fringe as well! I love her hair!!!

I ran into my sister at Trader Joes- we both were rocking the same hair. Out of control. Needless to say, we had a good laugh….

My girlfriend's daughter, Trinity! We chopped off her hair for winter! She was having a "meltdown" because she wanted to see my daughter :) Too cute.

 

Lydia loves being blonde! I did a heavy blonde weave for her to brighten up her roots!

 A fresh ombre….. I darkened up Alisha's hair and free hand lightened her tips!

 

 Jeremy wanted to get a easier style for the winter months, while maintaining the pony option. He is looking groomed again ;)

 

Ashley looks awesome in golds. I colored her regrowth with a rich golden brown and did a creative foil technique, putting in caramel tones to add dimension. I cleaned up her cut too! She rocks this cut!

 I love how much of a difference a good cut makes. I went through and gave my client a blunt/choppy cut! She is looking sooooo stylish! :)

 

Melanie wanted something totally different for winter. I added in lots of dimension by giving the base a rich brown while lightening strands with two different lighter tones! It looks so pretty on her.

 

Yah for Thea! This cut is perfect for fine hair. It makes your hair fresh and full!

Katie hasn't been brunette in a couple years, so it was really fun to give her a all over tint! She looks stunning.

My 14 month old started rocking pig tails this week! YAH!

I got to color my sister, Cara's hair at Tala! She had a faded red (left) to start with. We colored her hair with a rich red/violet! I lightened her ends with two shades of copper/caramel. I love how it turned out! Talk about depth and shine! She is a natural red head (8 copper) so she can pull off any red tone. 

Do you like it?

 This is the gorgeous Mallorie! We lightened her hair (after on right) with a fun tone for fall/winter. I wanted to lift her color without going through a damaging process. It turned out to be a beautiful caramel/gold/copper color! I love it.

Oh Steph! I love doing your hair!!!!! We started out by chopping it 4 to 5 inches and I inverted the perimeter so the front was longer. I gave her copper/red highlights in her fringe, while painting a dark brown all over. She is lookin' good in the hood! 

Danielle (my cousin) is in the process of growing out her hair! She has been apart of some fun hair shows and her hair has seen better days- health wise! So it was so fun to clean up her ends and freshen up her layers! She wanted a natural/low maintenence color/cut. I did a heavy weave foil with two colors! We went with a high lift natural blonde and a golden/warm honey brown! She looks so lovely!

 

 Nothing too crazy- but this is my two GO-TO looks- high bun and air dry the natural wave/then curl in some texture. EASY. 

 I showed this before + after on insta. Humbling and to inspire y'all of what 10 minutes can do. I have sped up my morning routine since being a mom- I feel totally confident in my bare skin, but I really do love getting fancied up! And look at those brows- isn't it crazy how much of a difference filling in the brows does. amen.
