Tip of the Day: A Layer Cake... And Not the Good Kind


www.behindthechair.com

How do you turn a “three-layer cake” look into an overall blonde? Specifically, the bottom six inches has high/lowlights; the middle indicates the client had bleached blonde highlights, and that’s topped by four inches of Level 7 virgin growth. Wella Professionals Celebrity Colorist Dean Roybal says, “Start this challenger at the new growth area. Apply Wella Soft Blonde Crème Lightener to the new growth virgin hair. Carefully apply lightener with a higher developer in foils to protect the previously lightened hair. 

Use extreme caution when isolating foils and carefully saturate all the remaining darker areas through the midshaft to ends. Saturate the blonde hair with conditioner for extra protection. Rinse the lightener from the scalp once the desired level is achieved and reapply to the ends if more lift is desired, always taking into consideration the condition of the hair. Once all the hair has been lightened and all the hair shares the same exposed natural remaining pigment, apply demi-permanent color to damp hair to achieve your desired, all-over blonde result.” ('Tip of the Day' from www.behindthechair.com)
