Level 4 to Platinum…One Session
Going from a natural level 4 to platinum blonde in one session is a tough task. What makes it even more of a challenge is when your client has remnants of box color from a DIY application, which you are likely to see more of after all Stay @ Home orders are lifted! Although this does make things more complicated, it doesn’t make it impossible as long as you use the right techniques and products.
Take it from Field Signature Artist, Carrera Alvarez who successfully transformed a model from a level 4 to a platinum blonde in one session. Instead of a traditional lightener application, she used a back to back foil technique with NEW BlondorPlex for no compromise on lift and up to 97% less breakage.*When using Wellaplex N°2 with Blondorplex, versus Blondorplex alone.
“I did this double process blonde a little differently because of the fact that she was so dark and she had box color that she did at home and I wanted to make sure that I lifted to a very clean and even blonde in one go.”– Carrera Alvarez, Field Signature Artist.
THE PROCESS:
First, apply BlondorPlex + 20 volume using a back to back foil technique. Keeping lightener ½ inch away from the scalp.
Once the hair has processed to a level 9, gently pull down each foil and apply Blondor Soft Blonde Cream with 20 volume to the roots while the ends remain in the foil and let process.
Last, tone from roots to ends with Illumina Color: 2 parts 10/93 + 1 part 10/36 + 2 parts Welloxon Perfect Pastel 1.9%
