Guy started on a base that he prelightened with #Big9 Crème Lightener + 30-volume developer, then colored with Demi-Permanent Silver Smoke (6SS at the rootage, 8SS in the mids and 10SS on the ends).

Using Guy’s Diamonds in the Sky sectioning, start at a triangular section at the nape. Use Formulas A, B, C and D in a balayage technique. “I leave the ends out so they appear lighter,” Guy says. “It creates more movement and doesn’t appear too dipped.”
- 3Step 3 of 8
Take another triangle section, directing the hair straight down instead of at a diagonal. You can alternate which way you direct the hair based on your desired final look. Use Formula C where you want depth. “I like to put dark colors down first,” Guy says.
- 4Step 4 of 8
Continue to work up the head, then repeat on the other side. You can blur Formulas A or B into Formula C to create a more natural effect. Guy uses Formula D sparingly because blue tones can overpower the end effect. Process for 20 minutes, using heat if you desire a more vibrant result.
