COLOR FORMULAS

  • Formula A (Zone 1)

    1oz. Redken Color Gels Lacquers 3NW + ½ oz. 2NW + 1½ oz. 10-volume Redken Pro-Oxide Cream Developer

  • Formula B (Zones 2 and 3)

    1 oz. Redken Shades EQ Gloss 05RB + 1 oz. Redken Shades EQ Processing Solution

FORMULA STEPS

1. Starting on faded-out brunette pigment, apply Formula A to Zone 1. 

 

2. After the roots are complete, apply Formula B from Zones 2 to 3.

 

Pro Tip: Whether your client prefers warm or cool tones, Carolynn recommends applying a lighter color over previously-colored brunettes. Their hair will reflect that lighter color in the sun for dimensional, shiny results. 

 

3. Process for 20 minutes, then rinse.

 

4. Wash the hair and rinse thoroughly. Then, apply extensions for fullness to achieve blunt ends and full-bodied, lived-in texture.
