Pulp Riot Educator and Butterfly Loft Stylist Cory Hoffman (@coryhoffmanhair), breaks down how she achieved this gorgeous halo technique. “My model already had amazing hair, so I just wanted to enhance her natural color and texture,” she says. “I created some highlights around her face, taking horizontal sections and leaving about one-inch in-between. I then toned with Pulp Riot Liquid Demis because of the low pH and to add shine. I enhanced her natural texture for the style and finished with a small curling iron to create a little definition.”
