John wanted to add a warmth and vibrancy to his client’s hair. Using a crescent sectioning pattern and autumnal copper shades, her hair is brightened and enhanced.
Formulas:
- A: 20 parts 7CG with 20 parts 10 Vol Matrix Developer
- B: 20 parts 6RC+ and 5 parts 6RV+ with 25 parts 10 Vol Matrix Developer
- C: 40 parts 10G and 1 part 7CC+ with 41 parts 10 Vol Matrix Developer
Top Tip: If your client has over 50% grey, try using SoColor Extra Coverage creative palette with 20 Vol Matrix Developer as a root touch up service.
Steps to get the look
- Begin by sectioning a crescent shape on each side of the head, just above the partial ridge.
- Section another crescent section just above each ear.
- Create your third crescent section close to the hairline, pointing away from the temple.
- Use a freehand ribboning technique to create pops of colour using formula A and B alternately.
- Refresh the mid-lengths and ends with formula C for 20 minutes.
- Styling: To keep her hair feeling in great condition and to shield against heat damage, Miracle Creator 20 was applied to damp hair before blow drying.
