Pravana Stylist, Jamie Muniz's 5 Tips for Going Pink

1. Analyze. A careful and thorough analysis of the hair and proper formulating with your choice of lightener and developer is a must in order to achieve and even lift that leaves the hair's integrity intact. This often requires using different developers throughout the hair.

2. Select the proper tone. Like a lot of shades, pinks can either be cool or warm toned. The client's skin tone and color preference are imperative in order to create the perfect tone and depth of color.

3. Treat. Apply a shine treatment to the hair following the lightening service to even out the porosity. This will ensure an even, long-lasting pink color.

4. Experiment. Don't be afraid to mix shades to create your own custom formulas. Swatch the colors and write the formulas down on nice card stock for later reference.

5. Customize. To pump up the color service, don't just go roots to ends with one formula. Create subtly different shades of pink and apply to varying strands and lengths throughout. This type of customization will add dimension and also separate your work from other colorists.
