Once the regrowth is complete, process until she reaches a pale yellow Level 11 and rinse with Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo. Do not condition the hair. Towel-dry, squeeze to remove excess water (shaking could rough up the cuticle) and then comb the hair with a wide-tooth comb.

 

Then, apply Formula C from roots to ends and run a wide-tooth comb through the hair to seamlessly blend the toner. Process for 10 to 15 minutes or until the hair is an icy cool tone, then rinse with Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner. For an added boost of shine, treat the hair with Joico K-PAK® Color Therapy™ Luster Lock Treatment.
