Got an older client who wants to embrace her gray tones, but still look young and chic? Stylist Jackie Hovorka (@fullmetaljaxon) has a solution—this amazing smoky lilac, complete with trendy layers and a modern fringe. This transformation earned Jackie a #ONESHOT nom, so we had to know how she did it! Here’s her formula and how-to.
Total chair time: 5 hours
STEPS
Lighten the base using Formula A. Process for 45 minutes.
Lighten the midlengths to ends using Formula B. Process for 35 minutes, the rinse and towel-dry.
Create a shadow root using Formula C, pulling some pieces through to the ends for more dimension. Jackie also applied Formula C to the occipital/undercut area for depth.
Tone any pieces left out with Formula D. Process for 25 minutes.
Jackie finished by trimming around the occipital to tighten up the cut, making it more even with the front layers. She also point-cut internal layers to create more texture and volume.
