How would you describe Kristenâs color in Breaking Dawn?
She has auburn brown type of hair. A reddish-brown â so itâs like a chocolatey brown with rich red undertones. How hair colors change, I think that people are really looking to have more warmth in their hair. And I think that itâs [red undertones] much more flattering for every skin tone.
Did Kristen have any input into her color?
âShe just wanted to stay really close to BellaâĤ but she was also very open to suggestions.â
How long did it take you to get Robâs color just right?
âOriginally, he was going to try and get away with not coloring his hair. I believe in the first film, that is his natural hair color. He just felt like if I donât have to do it, letâs not. In general, menâs hair color is very natural looking, so even when you color menâs hair, you want it looking really natural â like a man. [For Breaking Dawn,] it had to be richer tones, more along the lines of Bella so they looked right together.â
Which characterâs color was your favorite to create? Why?
âI loved doing Bella the most because it was really exciting for me â Iâd watch all the films and see peopleâs hair colors change from scene to scene and film to film. As a hair colorist, Iâm obsessive about color, and I finally got my hands on it!â
Can you share any hair coloring secrets?
âThe basis for everything I do in color is layering, so everybody I did, I was layering color. I also like to seal everything with a gloss. I feel like people at home, if they want to get something they saw in film, go to your hairdresser and get them to give you the shiniest gloss they can give you or go out and buy a gloss that would work with your hair color. It could totally be a clear gloss. If youâve never colored your hair or if you are 14 and youâre not ready or your mom wonât let you, you can still do a clear gloss.â
According to Jennifer, a gloss can even makes your hair easier to style and can tame frizziness. What a great tip!
