Blackbird ID (Northern California)

Blackbird ID (Northern California)

Hi, it’s me again with another blurry image humbly requesting ID assistance. I see 2 red-winged blackbirds and another with no visible red. My first thought would be tri-colored blackbird but Merlin says it’s unlikely. Thoughts?

Small tail-bobbing sandpiper (Northern California)

Saw this little guy on the beach, obviously some kind of sandpiper but I’m bad at identifying a lot of shorebirds. Sorry I don’t have a clear close up photo.

Lamination tips for stubborn brow hair (Yumi)

I have a repeat client coming in later today for a brow lamination. She has coarse, curly brow hairs that resist lamination, and I’m wondering if anyone has any tips? We use Yumi, I’ve processed her up to the max time in the past, and she will still have some hairs that don’t respond at all. One time it seemed like it worked and then as I was finishing the service, some of her hair started reverting back to their original curl pattern.

I usually cleanse the brow area with a micellar cleanser (per our protocol), saturate the brow with step one and cover with plastic wrap, checking every 3 minutes and adding more if needed. Step 2 is applied for the same time under plastic. Then I shape the brows and apply the step 3 serum and set with brow gel (again, per our protocol).
