Falling Leaves Color Melt

HOW-TO STEPS

• 1

  Client started with an inch of neutral Level 6 regrowth, faded Level 7 copper red at the midlengths and scattered old highlights toward the ends.

• 2

  Apply Formula A all over with no heat, let process for 20 minutes and then rinse. Because the Vinyls are demi-permanent, they deposited pigment at her new growth, giving her a shaded root, and a more blended look with increasingly brighter copper pieces toward the ends.

   

  (Remember, the Vinyls will come out very bright on blonde hair.)

  After rinsing, apply Formula B (the soap cap) at the bowl and on the bottom third of the client’s (still wet) hair. Blend the formula upward adding water to soften the line of color. Let process for 10 minutes. This lifted the client to a Level 8 golden blonde. Then shampoo, do not condition and blow-dry the hair to prep for direct dye.

  Then apply Formula C to the ends and blend into the midlengths. Let process for 20 minutes with heat, 10 minutes without heat, then rinse with cold water and condition.
