After a first photo shoot and after having entrusted the camera their expectations for their new look, Alexia, Catherine and Karine can go to the crucial stage: the coloring to the blond!
Alexia finds that her hair is a little dull and sad. She wants to illuminate and illuminate all of her hair. From her sweep, she waits for a sunburn before the summer! The important thing, especially, is that this burst of change does not change her dress habits or her beauty routine: "I'm not one to do a lot of blow-dry or spend a lot of time in front of the ice with a hair dryer.
I want it to be a natural and easy-care effect!
The steps of Alexia's coloring: sweeping
The advice of Eva Mazloumian, trainer Saint Algue: "At first, we proceeded to a scan on the complete hair, starting to make knits in root. On the lengths and the points, we took again sails. This gives a root sweeping side and lighter sails on the tips. After rinsing the first product, we repatiné to lighten its natural base, to have a "sunburn" and to clear the small regrowth that Alexia had. "
To treat Alexia's hair and protect her sweeping, Eva Mazloumian recommends applying a moisturizer , which will nourish the hair, especially if it is exposed to the sun , sand and sea water.

When you have a very clear look, to create a contrast with the blonde, we darken our eyes. It makes them stand out. To give a glamorous and smoky side to large eyes, do not hesitate to put black everywhere: inside and outside the eye - especially with eyes and skin clear. If one has small eyes, one can also put kohl, overflowing widely to enlarge the eyes, blurring and stretching the kohl. We do not hesitate!
Catherine is used to radical changes in hair color, going from blonde to raven black does not scare her. She currently wears a very dark chocolate brown, which, according to her, accentuates her pale complexion. She wants to lighten her color to brighten her face, get a more golden complexion.

The steps of Catherine's coloring: the tie & dye
The advice of Eva Mazloumian, trainer Saint Algue: "For Catherine, we began by lightening a few locks on the whole of the hair. Then, we have cleared all its points to obtain a lightening on all its lengths and points. It was very dark at the base, and the goal was to lighten up the hair: we chose to tie & dye, to have a clear side on the tips. We proceeded with a powder and a very light developer, to avoid sensitizing the hair. "
To take care of her tie & dye, Eva Mazloumian advises Catherine to apply a vanilla sublime care, on lengths and ends, to preserve the vanilla side and make it last a long time.

When we have brown hair, we put on a peach complexion so we choose a slightly peach blush that is available on the top of the cheekbones. For a party dressed, Catherine could bet on a lipstick red or orange-red , which would fit him perfectly. With large eyelids and large eyes, you can dare a dash of eyeliner and load with a false eyelash mascara. With rather dark hair, if you want a smoky, we prefer maroon hues, purple or rosewood (ideal for green eyes ), browns, big cats, warm colors. We keep the black smoky for blondes, to play the contrasts.
Karine wants to move to a very light platinum blonde, Daenarys Targaryen inspiration in Game of Thrones . She expects this trendy blonde white this summer that it remains a natural color:
What scares me about switching to platinum blond is people's eyes. We move quickly for a bimbo ...
Karine hopes that this new color will allow her to dare more things, to gain confidence in herself .
The stages of Karine's coloring: platinum blond
The advice of Eva Mazloumian, trainer Saint Algue: "To obtain platinum blonde Karine, we proceeded to a lightening with Blond Me bleaching powder from Schwarzkopf Professional with very low oxidizer to avoid sensitizing the hair to the maximum. This discoloration is done on the entire hair. Rinsed and then restarted with the same product. Finally, in the third step, apply a patina Ice Schwarzkopf Professional, all over the hair to get the blonde very cold, without any yellow reflection of Karine.
To maintain the blond ice Karine, Eva Mazloumian advises a shampoo and care éaununisseur , which retains the blond white. It is also necessary to protect the hair with moisturizing care and serums if Karine plans to get away from the pool or the sea.
The advice of Frédérique Alcaraz to showcase a platinum blonde:
With a white blonde, especially, we keep a porcelain complexion ! We adopt the cherry lipstick that associates very well. Of course, we choose: either the mouth or the eyes according to his style. For the day, we rather accentuate the eyes, with a smoky-eyes, for example, and in the evening, we can opt for a very red mouth and a thin line of eyeliner.
