STEPS
Guy started on a base that he prelightened with #Big9 Crème Lightener + 30-volume developer, then colored with Demi-Permanent Silver Smoke (6SS at the rootage, 8SS in the mids and 10SS on the ends).
Using Guy’s Diamonds in the Sky sectioning, start at a triangular section at the nape. Use Formulas A, B, C and D in a balayage technique. “I leave the ends out so they appear lighter,” Guy says. “It creates more movement and doesn’t appear too dipped.”
Take another triangle section, directing the hair straight down instead of at a diagonal. You can alternate which way you direct the hair based on your desired final look. Use Formula C where you want depth. “I like to put dark colors down first,” Guy says.
