• Gray Coverage: Want to make your gray clients’ color last longer? Process for 10 minutes—the additional five minutes will keep their gray cool for more washes.  

• Cool Blonde Maintenance: Sick of hearing clients complain of excessive warmth after a few shampoos? Have them swap out their drugstore products with toning shampoos, and recommends that they use GOODBYE YELLOW™ 1 to 2 times a week at home to prolong their color between appointments.
