Platinum Mohawk

The photos from Grateful Dreads’ first photoshoot are here!  Ashley is so gorgeous!  I really love her style. We met up early that morning, so I could make her hair platinum and touch up her mohawk before the shoot (you can view the process in the next post).  Then I made her hair huge and added some bright purple and deep blue to the back!  Ashley did her own make up then we drove out to a beautiful spot on the river.

I love Ashley’s confidence!  And I really love the one-lens sunglasses!  What a special treat to work with these two amazing artists.  Thank you I love you guys!!

Platinum Mohawk Session

| Shikote

Amy Hubbarth took some cool pictures while I worked on Ashley’s hair.  They drove from Detroit for Grateful Dreads’ first photo session!

Finished Look!  This is what platinum looks like!!

We liked Ashley’s roots, so I used foils to apply the bleach.  After a double process bleach, we then applied a toner by Goldwell.  I dried her hair and made it big and billowy and then touched up her sides with Oster 76 clippers, faded her nape, and lined her up!

Special thanks to Denise the barber for teaching me all about clippers.  Denise owns and operates Goodfellows Barbershop in Royal Oak.
