Customize these shades to your client's liking to see what kind of electric rainbow you can create.
STEPS
Because the model had existing color in her hair, Sonya started her transformation by cleansing the hair palette and removing existing unwanted color with Formula A.
Add a veil to the top of the head and below the occipital bone to create deeper panels for the vibrant colors. Then color these panels with Formula B. Separate the sections and focus on the prelightened sections of hair.
Use six different formulas to achieve bright, vibrant tones within the hair lengths. Colors include: Canary Yellow, Flamingo Pink, Sapphire Blue, Emerald Green, Juicy Orange and Midnight Purple.
Beginning at the bottom of the prelightened section, take ½-inch horizontal sections. Create square subsections and apply alternating formulas in foils. Use different colored foils to help keep track of the colors as you work throughout the head. Be sure to evenly saturate the hair all the way through the head leaving out the front hairline. Because the MAGMA was mixed with Freelights Developer, it allows you the versatility of painting the hair without using foil.
Let the hair process for up to 50 minutes, or until you achieve the desired result, then shampoo with Wella Professionals Elements Shampoo. To help seal the cuticle, apply MAGMA Post Treatment and process for 5 minutes before treating the hair with Wella Professionals Elements Conditioner.
Style as desired.
