Got an older client who wants to embrace her gray tones, but still look young and chic? Stylist Jackie Hovorka (@fullmetaljaxon) has a solution—this amazing smoky lilac, complete with trendy layers and a modern fringe. This transformation earned Jackie a #ONESHOT nom, so we had to know how she did it! Here’s her formula and how-to. Total chair time: 5 hours (more…)
- 1Step 1 of 5
Lighten the base using Formula A. Process for 45 minutes.
- 2Step 2 of 5
Lighten the midlengths to ends using Formula B. Process for 35 minutes, the rinse and towel-dry.
- 3Step 3 of 5
Create a shadow root using Formula C, pulling some pieces through to the ends for more dimension. Jackie also applied Formula C to the occipital/undercut area for depth.
- 4Step 4 of 5
Tone any pieces left out with Formula D. Process for 25 minutes.
- 5Step 5 of 5
Jackie finished by trimming around the occipital to tighten up the cut, making it more even with the front layers. She also point-cut internal layers to create more texture and volume.
