Champagne Blonde

It’s called “Champagne” for a reason, the tone sits perfectly between warm and cool, giving that pearly reflection that catches light from every angle. Moroccanoil® International Artist Christian Garrido (@cristhian4hair) created this luminous blonde using contour and surface balayage combined with micro-highlighted money pieces for seamless brightness around the face. 

Christian shares how he got this seamless result: “The key trick was carefully studying the undertones to achieve a harmonious blend, ensuring even saturation of the bleach without overloading the strands. This prevented patchiness and allowed for gradual, controlled lightening, [while] maintaining the hair’s health and softness.” Read on to get his full formula and technique tips.

Steps

  1. Prelighten midlengths and ends using Formula A, hand-painting sections to create a soft contour and surface balayage effect. “I used 20-volume at a 1:1.5 ratio for an even lift and smooth consistency,” Christian explains.

  2. Refine the root area with Formula B for gentler lightening. “At the root, I switched to 10-volume (1:2) for greater control,” he says. “It helps prevent over-lift and keeps the transition clean.

  3. Rinse and dry once desired lift is achieved, ensuring the hair stays soft and balanced.

  4. Apply Formula C at the roots, blending into Formula D through the midlengths and Formula E on the ends. The key is a gradual shift from depth to light,” Christian shares. “It’s what keeps the color luminous without visible lines or breaks.

  5. Process until tone is balanced, then rinse and style as desired.
