Cindi Gildden-Tracey, 57, is a university faculty member and recently moved to Vancouver from Arizona. Her hair has been feeling frizzy, fly-away and unruly due to the humidity and needed help.
Gildden-Tracey has medium textured and naturally wavy hair. She had been letting it grow out as she wasn’t sure what to do with it. My plan for enhancing her beautiful silver colour and face shape was to eliminate the length and create a sweeping fringe to soften her hairline.
I shampooed her hair using Oribe Silverati Shampoo and Conditioner to gently cleanse and brighten silver hair without drying. I added Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream to the mid-lengths and ends as an intense, high gloss leave-in conditioner.
I sectioned her hair into a central vertical parting and cut it into a diagonal forward shoulder length bob. The hair around her face was less dense than the back and made her hair look weak, so we created a side sweeping fringe to make it look thicker and fuller.
Before styling, I sprayed Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray for heat protection and to help smooth out unruly hair while offering a natural finish. I blow dried her hair with a round brush and finished her look with Oribe Superfine Hair Spray.
I started with a green corrective primer to even out the redness in Gildden-Tracey’s skin, followed by a tinted BB Cream. I warmed up her complexion with a hint of bronzing powder and plum blush. On her eyes, I used a cream eyeshadow and lined the lash line with a plum coloured shadow liner. I added mascara to her lashes, filled in and balanced out her eyebrows and used a sheer plum lip tint.
