Here he takes his client from a grown-out vibrant color melt to a blonde bombshell using the new Matrix Light Master Oil Additive and their Color Sync line.

STEPS
Before
Apply Formula A to the roots and Formula B to the midlengths and ends, working the darkest areas first, then moving to the lighter areas. Process until desired lightness is achieved or up to 50 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, then lightly cleanse using Matrix Total Results Color Obsessed Shampoo and towel-dry.
Next, apply Formula C to the scalp area, Formula D to the midlengths and Formula E to the ends. Process up to 20 minutes, rinse and apply BOND Ultim8 Step 2 Sealer for 10 minutes. Then, cleanse and condition using Total Results Color Obsessed.
Step 4 continued.
To style, spray Matrix Style Link Rough Me Up Salt Infused Spray on damp hair. Blow-dry the fringe downward using a large round brush until the roots are dry, then use your fingers to twist sections of hair to create texture while drying the rest of the head.
Lastly, wrap sections of hair around a curling iron, curling away from the face. For additional texture, spray Matrix Style Link Mineral Playback Dry Shampoo from the roots to the ends and spray Matrix Biolage R.A.W. Replenish Oil-Mist to add shine and smooth out the ends.
