We love a good transformation and this one from Ivan Hernandez (@justhairobsession), a Stamford, Conn.-based colorist, is nothing short of stunning. Check out the steps below to find out how Ivan took his client from a lackluster brunette to a temporary rose blush to an on-trend rooty blonde balayage.
STEPS

Before

Start by creating a full head of highlights using Formula A. Process under a cap for even heat distribution.

Then, balayage with Formula B. Let process.

How the hair should look with the highlights and balayage.

For a temporary rosé color, apply Wella Instamatic by Color Touch Pink Dream. Ivan says this color lasted about a month for his client.

The rosé hue eventually faded to this shade of blonde. From here, create babylights around her face using Formula C. Then, apply Formula D to the roots only and pull the formula down about 4 inches.

Balayage with Formula E, then tone with Formula F. Let process, then rinse and style as desired.
