Makeovers Can Do Wonders
CORAL GABLES (CBS4) ―
Sometimes it's not just one's hair that's the problem. People have different facial features, which often contribute to frustration of the look we want to achieve. There are ways to work around those unique features.
Some people may be blessed with a little more space above their eyes than they'd like and don't want to wear little girl bangs to cover the space.
In this make-over series, it's about covering the forehead with a grown-up look.
Kim Chapin is a baby-faced twenty-two-year-old who won't submit to baby-bangs to cover her forehead.
Hairstylist Ogy Del Rio has the solution.
"We're going to do a side sweep, a longer bang," Del Rio said. "Two other things that definitely need to go. You have drastic color you have old color on the ends. We need to soften the color that will minimize the forehead."
Del Rio went on, "And the other trick is the eyebrows. We need to clean up the bottom so that they can be a little more raised therefore making your forehead look a little more narrow."
Ogy's transformation begins with every woman's nightmare: cutting the hair, and then cutting more hair.
Then, there's the application of subtle coloring. He put on the citrus-colored highlights, followed by hair glazing between the foils.
"This is just going to give her a richer brown and much better skin tone," said Del Rio.
After Kim's hair was glazed, wrapped and rolled into a tiny, plastic bonnet, Ogy worked on her eyebrows to help make the front hairline seem closer then it is. After a little poking and prodding, it was time to wash up.
"I feel like this is major surgery or something," said Kim.
A little something more while her hair dried: some make-up to go with her soon-to-be-revealed forehead.
A little styling and profiling later, and Kim has a grin.
Covering the forehead with a sidesweep and braving a shorter cut solved Kim's dilemma.
