The trick for creating a perfect shade of muted-metallic pink? The starting level! Make sure the hair is a pale Level 8 or higher before adding any pastel color. Here’s how Lyndsey Palumbo (@lyndseyteresehair) created this cool Redken rose using the new Shades EQ pastel colors!
The Formulas
- Formula A:
- Lightener + 30-volume + Redken pH-Bonder
- Formula B:
- Equal Parts Redken Shades EQ 09V + 09P + Shades EQ Processing Solution
- Formula C:
- 3:1 Redken City Beats Ballet Pink + Midtown Magenta
- Formula D:
- Full Bottle Shades EQ Pastel Pink + ½ oz. Pastel Peach + Processing Solution
Steps
1. First, lighten the hair and let process until desired level is reached. Know that when creating pastel colors, working on a Level 8 or higher is best. Rinse hair and tone all over with Formula B.
2. Then rinse again and add Formula C to the root areas and Formula D to the midlengths and ends. Let process and rinse. Then, dry and style as desired.
