First this haircut was thinned out.  Then the haircut was textured using a razor cut on this medium to short hair style.  This style has custom foil slices with highlights and lowlights.  The update was completed on straight and thick hair in 2010 by Veronica http://www.capellilounge.com/veronica at Capelli Lounge in Westwood Village.
