According to Kidder, the gorgeous looks were made possible by "Pravana's stunning fashion colors… There are endless color combinations that [you] can use to create any look [your] client desires. The brilliantly vibrant shades are not only show-stopping, but long-lasting as well."

How To Get This Look:
“First, I created a smooth pony tail, then split the pony tail in half and back-combed to create fullness. Then I curled 1-inch strips of my colored hair extensions and placed/pinned the green curls first to create the "leaves." Then I pinned the pink extensions on top of the green extensions to create the "flower." I used two tones of each the green and pink to create depth, contrast and dimension. I wanted a pretty, sleek and polished flower to represent the element ‘Earth.’" [pagebreak]
