Have you ever had a client who you know was just BORN to rock a certain cut or color? That’s exactly what we thought when we saw this INSANE transformation by the Living Proof artistic team. We caught up with the team backstage before their NAHA presentation in Las Vegas, where Artistic Team Members Russel Bally was giving his model this cool, smoky-toned color with a deep shadow root rising to a soft grayish/white toward the ends. Here’s his formula and how-to!
