Aly Davis taps social media to share color tricks and give her peers personal insight.
When we’re not commenting heart-eyes emoticons on Aly Davis’ blonding and lived-in color creations, we’re nodding in agreement with her uplifting memes and jotting down notes during her transformation videos. Needless to say, the Beauty Launchpad education team member is one to watch! Her advice for growing your social media? “Authentic engagement,” she says. “If you see something you like, give that person a ‘like’ and comment. It’ll make his or her day, and open up your Instagram to the person. Also, share you on your page. Of course everyone loves seeing the work you create, but even more so people are drawn to the person behind it all. Share your thoughts or a photo of you working— remember to switch up things.”

Davis shares how to achieve this copper transformation.
Shampoo hair with a clarifying shampoo to rid it of impurities; this helps make the hair a clean canvas for the transformation.
- Use Redken Shades EQ 8GG/7CC all over hair.
- Color melt on damp hair by applying the base first using vertical sections, with Paul Mitchell the Color in 3 parts 6N + one part 6WC.
- Comb through with a wide-tooth comb.
- Taking fine diagonal back sections, apply equal parts Paul Mitchell The Color 7WB + 8WC + 8RO to the mid-lengths and ends.
- Process for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Wash with a color-safe shampoo and conditioner.
- Seal color with Keracolor Color + Clenditioner in Copper; it also lends an added pop of color!
Color Inspo: “When Julianne Hough went copper last year! I loved how her copper hue looked so rich and natural,” says Aly Davis
