Sherry Ratay's Haircolor creations.
http://www.beautylaunchpad.com/sherry-ratays-hues-of-natural-perfection
Sherry started with a natural level 5 in the back and nape, and floated to a natural level 7-8 in the front frame. She first began with using Joico Base Breaker and 20 volume develop for 10 minutes, cleansed and dried. Next she saturated the hair with Minardi Pre-wash and put under heat for 10 minutes, cleansed and dried. Sherry began in the nape area alternating Vero-lights with 20 volume and Joico Chrome B7 with activator….looking to see where she needed to enhance or erase. Working around the front hairline, she created more light running through by doing a few that were back to back slices and utilizing her low lite formula within. She lifted to a pale yellow, cleansed and dried. Next Sherry glazed the entire head with 1oz of G9, 1oz of clear, and activator, processed for 10 minutes. Finally the hair was cleansed and styled.
Starting at a natural level 4, Sherry first began with applying Joico Chrome2oz of RB4 and activator to regrowth and pulled down the shaft of the hair varying 4-6 inches, creating a rich velvety rooty brunette. She then began the American Baliage with Joico Vero-Lights and 20 volume, starting in the nape and working up and forward, lifting to a yellow/orange stage. She then applied Vero K-Pak “HLG” High Lift Golden Blonde with 40 volume In-between the foils only on the last 3-5 inches of the hair strand to create warmth running through the ends, processed for 35 minutes. Next the hair was cleansed and dried. Sherry glazed the entire head with Joico Chrome 1oz of B7 & 1oz of B9, and activator, processed for 10 minutes. She cleansed and styled the hair for the finished look.

Tips for Fabulous Fall Hair
With every new season comes new hair care concerns. Summer hair was easy and messy, but with fall amongst us, there are THREE key things to remember: static, dehydration and the drop in temperature all play a role in how our hair looks. Keep your do looking great despite the elements with these simple tips!

Static
- Try shampoos that don't contain harsh chemicals.
- Serums are great, but be careful not to use too much, they can weigh hair down.
- Lightly spritz a bit of hairspray to tame any unwanted frizz.
Dehydration
- Rinse your hair with cold water to help lock in your moisture.
- Use leave-in moisturizers or conditioners.
- Make time for weekly moisture treatments.
- Try to limit the amount of times you use mechanical styling tools like curling and straightening irons.
Cold weather
- Make sure you don't leave the house with damp or wet hair. Not only will you run the risk of getting a nasty cold, but you'll also increase your chances of getting some unwanted hair breakage.
- Wear a scarf or hat to protect your hair from the wind.

*Fabulous Fall Shades*
With the change of seasons comes the change of styles. The latest trends eventually fade like the leaves falling from the trees. A new season brings new shades of color to our wardrobe, nail polish, shoes, and most importantly our HAIR! Looking for a new fall shade? Try one of these out!

Mila Kunis is sporting a new fall trend, looking very natural! Her shiny mane looks far from altered, but in reality she highlighted her hair two shades lighter than her base. This works amazing for those blessed with olive skin and brunet locks.
Emma Stone also nailed it this fall with a coppery auburn complimented by a wash of strawberry highlights. Her shiny hair leaves her face glowing, emphasizing her gorgeous smile and great skin.
Charlize Theron made the right decision with her new buttery blond look. She looks radiant and elegant with the new shade. When choosing the same hue make sure to amp up your makeup to avoid looking washed out.
Fall also loves Ciara’s new sleek highlights! It is a great way to accentuate her gorgeous face and make her eyes pop.

Things you will need:
- Covered hair band/elastic
- Hair spray
- Hair pins or grips to match your hair color
- A paddle brush (always gives the smoothest results)
- Pin-tail comb (I prefer using a metal tail comb but a plastic tail comb will do)
Directions
1. Using a paddle brush, smooth your hair straight back
2. Gather at the nape of your neck into a low ponytail using your covered hair band
3. Split your ponytail in half
4. Use your comb to tease the two sections of hair you split
5. Take one of the sections and smooth out with the paddle brush
6. Twist under and secure with a large bobby pin
7. Repeat Step 5 & 6 with the other section
8. Smooth down stray hairs with a toothbrush
9. Hairspray
***For fine hair, try teasing lightly and smoothing before placing into low ponytail.

Ready, Set, COLOR!
I am excited to share with you all that I will be taking the center stage at two of the country’s largest beauty industry conventions, the upcoming Premiere Beauty Classic in Columbus, Ohio, and the Image Expo in Houston, Texas.
I'm thrilled and honored to be a part of these amazing events. It is my passion within that keeps me on the edge of what is new with hair color, and I am looking forward to sharing with other colorists what I truly love to do!
The Premiere Beauty Classic 2011 will take place on October 23 and 24 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. I will then take the main stage to present my hair color collection at the 2012 IMAGE Expo Houston, scheduled for July 15 and 16 of next year, at the Reliant Center. Both shows will feature leading artists and educators in the business, showcasing the industry’s latest fashions and trends.
