How to Connect 6 Inches of Regrowth in Less Than 25 Foils

3 Tips for Achieving a Cool-Toned Blonde When Connecting Regrowth

Simplicity was the name of the game for Joico Global Technical Director Jeannetta Walker-Rodgers (@watchmyhairbounce) as she connected six inches of her client’s Level two roots to her previously lightened ends using just 21 foils.

The results? A stunning cool-toned caramel balayage. Here’s how you can save time, money and resources with Jeannetta’s three tips for connecting roots to ends—without banding.

1. Here’s the Best Lightener for Cool-Toned Results

 The secret to a cool-toned lightened canvas of hair? Joico Blonde Life SilverLight Powder Lightener. The charcoal-based powder counteracts brassiness while processing so it primes the hair for a cooler result while offering a clean lift on dark bases.

• It delivers up to 9+ levels of lift
• Has bond-building properties
• Does not transfer when rinsing
• Strengthens, protects and reduces breakage in the hair by over 54 percent

2. This In-Foil Application Tip Will Yield Perfectly Blended Results

For a bright, impactful end result, Jeannetta opted to do large teased sections of hair and large sections in the foils. Doing so left deep pockets of dimension while still delivering a seamlessly blended light and bright blonde.

Click the beaker for Jeannetta’s formula for this transformation using Joico’s Blonde Life Silver Light Powder Lightener:

• Formula A (Lightener)

  30 grams of Joico Blonde Life SilverLight Powder Lightener and 60 grams of 20-Volume Joico Long Life Coconut Oil Developer

• Formula B (Toner)

  2 ounces of Joico Blonde Life Demi Gloss in 9BV, 2 ounces of Blonde Life Demi Gloss in 9T and 2 ounces of 5-Volume LumiShine Developer

3. This is the Ideal Lightener Consistency for Seamless Blending

When mixing Blonde Life SilverLight Powder Lightener and Joico Long Life Coconut Oil Developer, a little bit of the pudding-like texture goes a long way. The soft texture of the powder lightener grabs on to the strands in the foils to gently and evenly lift the dark base color without causing dryness, damage or breakage as it develops.
