Going from a Level 2 black canvas to anything metallic might seem like a difficult task, but it's no problem for Matrix Global Artist Constance Robbins! And in one of her recent Instagram posts, she shared exactly how she made the transformation happen (including a sneak peek of a new metallic Matrix line, maybe?!). Watch the video below, plus get the color formulas and steps for this lightning-inspired lavender.
STEPS
Prelighten the hair using Formula A and leaving the roots out. Let process.Â
Know this: the oil additive allows the lightener to stay saturated and work through the hair easier to get better lift, plus it eliminates scalp irritation during the on-scalp application process!
Shampoo and apply Formula B from the roots to the midlengths. Then reapply Formula A from the mids to the ends and let process until desired lightness is achieved.Â
Rinse and pretone the hair using Formula C. This formula is designed to create a solid base for the next color application and treat the hair at the same time.Â
After pre-toning and treating the hair, it's time for the color melt! Apply Formula D at the base and melt into Formula E, saturating through to the ends. Constance uses a lighter formula for the midlengths and ends because that hair is always more porous and accepts color differently than hair closer to the scalp.
Let the hair process. Then rinse, shampoo, blow-dry and style as desired.Â
