Not only are pink and purple tones most commonly used on clients who are new to fashion colors, but the blondies in your chair especially love them for their seamless and natural-looking fade out. Watch Ulta Beauty Pro Team Member Danielle Keasling use crescent-shaped sections and a combination of pink, purple and clear to add a peekaboo pastel along the face and jawline, then follow the step-by-step guide below to recreate the look behind the chair.
STEPS
Before.
Start with a custom, crescent-shaped section from the center hairline to directly behind the ear on the left side. Then, on the other side, create a second crescent-shaped section from the top of the right ear to the center nape. Clip the rest of the hair away.
Begin the color application by applying Formula A at the roots and ends in the first crescent-shaped section using ¼-inch, diagonal-back slices. Follow the hairline, starting behind the ear and working up.
At the midlengths, apply Formula B and blend into Formula A at both the bottom and top of the sliced section, leaving a small area in the very middle of the hair shaft free from color. Then, apply Formula C in the center of the strand (the color-free area) and blend into the pink.
Pro Tip: Using clear on the roots and ends acts as a transitional buffer between the client's natural haircolor and the fashion shades.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until each section is complete. Then, repeat the process on the other side of the head. Let color process and rinse.
Finished look.
