Monday Makeover: Seamless Layers with a twist

Meet Ashley. She is one of the sweetest, coolest, most incredible girls I know. Here's why:
*She had a beautiful baby girl a few months ago "all natural" (major props girl!)
* She teaches kindergarten and manages to still breastfeed her baby (again, major props!!)
* She's just plain rad. That's about it in a nutshell!
But, she was feeling drab with her long, heavy locks and was lacking a style. She wanted something different and fun but still wanted to keep her length, because she worked so hard on growing it out! I didn't color her hair. She was growing out her natural color (which is hard to do!) I decided to take two inches off and gave her some seamless (meaning not choppy) layers to take some of the weight off on the ends. Check out the before and afters...
Before:
 After:

I gave her a fun twist just for kicks. It's a great way to keep the hair out of your eyes with style... something I do a lot! 

To achieve the twist:
Backcomb hair in the crown and then twist the front section of your hair back. Secure with a bobby-pin going into the twist like a V-Shape (it hides the bobby pin so you can't even see it!)
