WATCH: Toning Platinum Blondes For Winter

3 Tips For Keeping Winter Blondes Healthy & Bright 

Platinum clients looking for a winter refresh? Aloxxi Blonde Ambassador Rachel Willams (@rachelwstylist) is sharing her best application tips and tricks for toning winter blondes with new shades from Aloxxi TONES®!

1. Protect & Soothe A Dry Scalp With Proper Prep

The winter months can be drying for everyone, but platinum clients need extra care and protection. So Rachel grabs the COLOURPRIME Pre-Color Treatment from Aloxxi. “COLOURPRIME balances the scalp’s pH level, which allows the color to process evenly,” Rachel explains. “It also soothes and protects the scalp during processing, which can be beneficial to platinum clients that may be sensitive from repetitive lightening.”

To create extra brightness around the face, Rachel mixes equal parts 10P and 10G. Why add gold? “It adds a beautiful reflection to platinum blondes, creating a bright face-frame,” Rachel explains. Check out her formulas below!

• Formula A (face-frame and hairline): Aloxxi TONES® Demi-Permanent Colour equal parts 10P + 10G + 7-volume Aloxxi Creme Developer (1:2)
