Ashy blondes and brunettes are totally having a moment and it's easy to see why. It's a low-maintenance tone that fades beautifully and doubles as a transition shade for clients who may want to take their locks lighter or darker. The latest take on this rising trend is courtesy of Aleck Zajac (@aleckk_), a stylist at Dolce Salon & Spa in Millburn, N.J. Find out how she created this rooty, ash-toned platinum blonde below!

Steps
- Paint babylights around the whole head with Formula A, but avoid overlapping with previously prelightened hair.
- For the remaining hair that is not in foils, tone the orange sections only by applying Formula B.
- Take what's left over of Formula A and paint the yellow sections to remove any unwanted tones. Process until she reaches Level 10.
- At the bowl, pre-tone with Pulp Riot Barcelona. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing.
- On wet hair, apply Formula C to the roots only. Process for 15 minutes, then rinse.
- Then, apply Formula D all over and process for 5 minutes. Wash her hair with KEVIN.MURPHY REPAIR-ME.WASH and KEVIN.MURPHY REPAIR-ME.RINSE.
- For the style, prep hair with KEVIN.MURPHY LEAVE-IN.REPAIR and KEVIN.MURPHY SHIMMER.ME BLONDE. Blow-dry, style as desired, then finish the style with KEVIN.MURPHY BEDROOM.HAIR.
