- 1Step 1 of 4
First Session
1. Similar to applying color at the bowl, saturate the color you wish to remove by applying Formula A with a brush. “This will not adjust or alter her natural haircolor,” notes Mallery.
2. Then, place the hair in a plastic cap and process for 20 minutes under a dryer.
3. Clarify the hair again, then apply 10-volume developer to ensure the color was removed. Repeat the process. “This left the hair very soft without any damage and helped remove most of the red she had for years,” shares Mallery.
4. To take her client’s hair back to a natural color, Mallery applied Formula B and let process for 15 minutes.

Second Session
1. Balayage Formula A in a V-pattern, saturating the ends. Leave little hair between sections and place a foil on top to lock in moisture and ensure the highest lift possible.
2. At the crown, babylight balayage Formula A for a piecey finish.
3. Process for 45 minutes, then shampoo and condition.
4. Towel-dry, then tone using Formula B and process for 20 minutes.
5. Blow-dry, then curl the hair using a 1¼-inch BaByliss Pro curling iron.

3. Blow-dry the hair then smooth her stands using a flat iron.

Other times, the long-time vibrant redhead in your chair decides she’s ready to try a dimensional blonde shade, meaning it’ll take multiple sessions to get it done. No worries! When Mallery Share (@hellobalayage), owner of Simplicity Salon in Port St. Lucie, Fla., found herself in this situation, she welcomed the challenge of a major transformation.
