Autumn Spice

Autumn calls for spicy, rich Chambord hues, and this technique from Joico Global Artistic Team Member Gion Vincent definitely delivers. He applies two shades globally in a color melt technique, then adds highlights and lowlights at the same time before finishing with an all-over gloss. The result is insanely shiny, healthy, dimensional hair! Check it out.
