A sun-kissed color service doesn’t have to mean hours of lifting and processing—at least, not when L’Oréal Professionnel National Artist Joshua Rossignol (@joshuarossistylist) is doing the lightening! In the how-to below, Joshua brings his Natural Level 6 model to a beautiful summer glow in under 30 minutes. Wondering how? By creating power-piece highlights—aka strategically placing lightener for a highly-visible effect—and using the new Instant Highlights Express Lightening System from L’Oréal Professionnel. Check out the full step-by-step below for all the details.

STEPS

Before.

Create a teardrop section starting at the center of the front hairline and going back to the occipital bone.
Pro Tip: How the client parts her hair will determine the sectioning technique used. In this case, because the model has a center part (and doesn’t typically change it up), a teardrop section is a good option.


Once sectioned, decide where to place the power pieces. Josh does four on each side—one behind the ear, then three in front of the ear and along the front hairline.
