Steps
Before:
1. Oana uses Formula A to lighten the hair. She focuses brightness around the face and throughout the top sections, while keeping depth underneath for contrast and dimension.
Pro Tip: “Mix finer weaves and bolder ribbons to avoid a flat result and create that seamless grow-out effect, which is especially important for clients like her who only come in once a year.”
2. Process to your desired lift and rinse.
3. Apply a root melt, skipping the all-over toner. Here’s why: “For this look, I used a root melt only, no additional toner or clear gloss. I wanted to keep the blonde soft, dimensional and low-maintenance while still looking bright and expensive.”
4. Rinse and style as desired.
*Average shine achieved based on shade selection. **Based on an average of 3 hair washes per week.
