Using lightener on highly textured hair can sometimes blow the curl out—but not with this technique, which uses Schwarzkopf Professional's new BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+. And a cool trick we learned: use clips to not only section and control very curly hair, but also as a barrier between the lightener and the root, keeping that gradient of color from dark to light. See how it's done, and WIN THE NEW BLONDME® LINE!
