Now, both Clairol Professional liquid and crème hair colors feature SOY4PLEX technology, a deep conditioning color complex. To show off the shine, this Silken Reds technique uses both permanent and demipermanent shades.

Formula:

Prelightener: 1 scoop Clairol BW2 with 10-volume Pure White developer for desired consistency

Formula 1: 1 oz. Clairol liquicolor permanente 5RR + 1 oz. 20-volume Clairoxide

Formula 2: 1 oz. Clairol crème demi permanente 4R + 1 oz. dedicated developer

Formula 3: 1 oz. crème demi permanente 6R + 1 oz. dedicated developer

Formula 4: 1½ oz. crème demi permanente 6R + ½ oz. Warm Mix Tones + 2 oz. dedicated developer

Application:

1. Isolate a crescent-shaped section on top of head toward front, positioned like a tiara. Pre-lighten the panel to the orange-gold stage. Rinse, shampoo and condition, then re-section the crescent and isolate with clips.

2. Apply Formula 1 to the free hair, from roots to ends.

3. Divide the pre-lightened crescent into 3 sections. Within each section alternate Formulas 2, 3 and 4, using foils for separation. Process for 30 minutes and rinse.
