Nothing is more on trend right now than a perfectly-toned platinum coming off a shadow root base, #amirite? So of course we love this updated hue created by Sarayah Politi (@hairbysarayah)! Her secret to platinum + shadow root perfection? Super fine babylights and the right toners—and don’t worry, we’re breaking down the formulas and steps below so you have all the details. Keep scrolling!
The Formulas
- Formula A:
- Redken Flash Lift Lightening Powder + 20-volume developer
- Formula B:
- Redken Shades EQ 9P + 9T + Clear + Shades EQ Processing Solution
- Formula C:
- Shades EQ 5N + 6T + Shades EQ Processing Solution
Steps
1. To start, babylight super fine sections with Formula A. Let process until the hair reaches a pale yellow and then wash out completely.
2. Next, apply Formula B all over, then Formula C at the root and stretch down about 1 inch. Leave on for only 5 to 10 minutes and watch carefully at the bowl.
3. Once color is achieved, rinse, blow-dry and style using a 1-inch iron and texture spray to create lived-in waves.
