  First Session

  1. Similar to applying color at the bowl, saturate the color you wish to remove by applying Formula A with a brush. “This will not adjust or alter her natural haircolor,” notes Mallery.

   

  2. Then, place the hair in a plastic cap and process for 20 minutes under a dryer.

   

  3. Clarify the hair again, then apply 10-volume developer to ensure the color was removed. Repeat the process. “This left the hair very soft without any damage and helped remove most of the red she had for years,” shares Mallery.

   

  4. To take her client’s hair back to a natural color, Mallery applied Formula B and let process for 15 minutes.

  3. Process for 45 minutes, then shampoo and condition.
