Here, olive, camel and dove gray accents enhance a rich, brown, violet base, all with a modern, brushed, stainless steel finish. Metallics have emerged as the haircolor trend of the season for discerning clients--they offer a tastefully-contemporary alternative to avant garde brights. This design—from the Schwarzkopf Professional Metallics Trend Collection—demonstrates how, in the right combination, unconventional shades can become instant classics.
STEPS
Create two off-center triangles as shown. Omit a 1-inch front hairline section and a 1-inch section between the two triangles, and clip away the hair within both sections.
Apply the base color—Formula A—to all remaining strands.
Apply Formula B to prelighten the hair in both triangles. Work in fine, back-to-back slices.
Apply Formula A to the regrowth area between the foils. Rinse and shampoo with Schwarzkopf Professional BC Hairtherapy.
Process for 30 minutes, lifting these sections to a Level 8.
Dry the prelightened triangular sections. Apply Formula C to the right triangle and Formula D to the left triangle. Process for 30 to 45 minutes. Shampoo, condition and style the hair.
