Kamryn's Hair Makeover

Kamryn wanted a new look for sixth grade, but nothing too drastic. She likes her hair long and she likes it low maitenance. As she's getting older, her hair is getting thicker and is starting to get a loose wavy curl to it. My hair is super naturally curly and so I always secretly wished my kids would get a little of my bounce. I called Danny, our go to hair guy, to get his opinion. At 11, I initially thought she was too young to get color, but Danny convinced me that a few highlights wouldn't hurt.

Kamryn wanted bleach blond highlights for her honey blond hair, so Danny got the foils started. She sat under the dryer for a few minutes and quietly enjoyed it.
Danny gives the best head massages ever! He gave Kamryn a good conditioning treatment and moved back to the station for a trim. He cut only a couple inches off, but it was just enough to make her hair look fantastic.

Here is the final look. She LOVES it!! It's not too drastic and she looks great! I may be creating a little salon junkie between getting her toes painted at the salon this summer and her hair colored, but it's all fun and something we can do together. Nothing is more precious than time together. You want to know our favorite salon secret? We give ourselves little pedicures at home with our feet in the tub, then head to the salon for a polish and it only costs $5! We pay a little extra for diamond flowers or fireworks, but it's so much fun to be pampered even if it's only to have your piggies painted. Kamryn loves it!!
