Smoke Rising

HOW-TO STEPS

• 1

  Prelighten with Formula A, processing until a Level 10, pale yellow is achieved.

• 2

  Tone with Formula B to neutralize the yellow, processing for about 10 minutes.

• 3

  Apply Formula C to the roots, softly blending out a few inches.

• 4

  Tone just the midlengths and ends using Formula D, allowing the roots and ends to softly blend into each other, creating a soft color melt.

  Next, Thom (Living Proof’s team leader for geometric haircuts) used a plier razor to create light, texturized movement in his model’s hair. Watch his technique above.
