Rather than lifting her model, Paul Mitchell Artistic Team Member, Linda Yodice, adds color back in to create warmth and subtle dimension while skill keeping the hair light, bright and beautifully blonde.

    PAUL MITCHELL COLOR FORMULAS
    formula a/retouch: Paul Mitchell® the color 1 oz. 9CB + 1 oz. 8CB + 3 shots Violet Color Shots® + 2 oz. 20-volume Cream Developer
    formula b: Paul Mitchell Shines XG® 1 oz. 10 WB + drop of 8C + 1½ oz. 5-volume XG Processing Cream
    formula c: Paul Mitchell Shines XG® 1 oz. 7NB + 1½ oz. 5-volume XG Processing Cream
    formula d: Paul Mitchell Synchrolift® + 20-volume Cream Developer

    Color Retouch: Section the hair into four standard segments. Clip away for control. Apply Formula A onto the new growth, and process for 35 minutes. Shampoo and condition with Paul Mitchell Color Protect® Post-Color Shampoo and Paul Mitchell Color Protect® Daily Conditioner or Paul Mitchell Color Protect® Reconstructive Treatment if necessary. Blow-dry the hair.

    Divide the head into four segments, slightly off-center at the front hairline to the center nape, from the crown to the front of each ear. Clip away for control. Start on the front, right side, taking a vertical, diagonal back section that is parallel to the hairline. Slice out the section and underlay with a piece of foil.

    Divide the hair into two sections. Apply Formula B to one of the sections of hair, placing the brush at a slight diagonal at the scalp. Feather through all the way to the ends. On the same piece of foil on the second section of hair, apply Formula C.

    Fold the foil form corner to corner, creating a triangular origami foil packet.

    Slice a diagonal back section and place the hair on a foil. Spray Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist® in a 1/4-inch ribbon at the scalp to diffuse and soften Formula D. Next, apply Formula D with the brush at an angle, and feather through areas that need to be lightened.

    Continue up the segment until you reach the top slice. The top slice should end almost parallel to the center parting, and the foil folded square.

    Move to the opposite side and replicate the same sectioning, color placement and foil fold, alternating colors as desired.

    Move to the back. Starting at the nape and using horizontal, diagonal back section, alternate the color formulas and apply in the same manner as the front segments.
