"Angela needed a change and asked me to do whatever I want," says Kimemily Pham (@excellenthairsalon) of Excellent Hair Salon & Spa, Freemont, California. "I started out by giving her an undercut a-line bob, which she never had before, while keeping the front long for a more dramatic look." Angela arrived with a level 3 darkest brown with previous highlights on zone 2 and 3. "I decided, with her approval, to go for some dimension with pastel blue and teal." It was a deal.
Here Pham shares the HOW TO:
Step 1: Divide hair into 3 sections, from ear to ear. Start balayage on the front 2 sides first with Matrix Light Master plus 40 volume. Apply color in thick sections. Separate each subsection with cotton and then cover with plastic wrap.
Step 2: Move to the back. Lightly feather the lightener just on the surface of the hair.
Step 3: Process at room temperature for 30 minutes. Rinse well, dry hair completely.
Step 4: Mix Joico Color Intensity: Indigo 3/4 oz + 1/4oz Peacock Green+ 5oz Clear. Apply from root to ends.
Step 5: Process at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 6: Shampoo and condition with Joico Color Therapy shampoo. Treat with K-Pak RevitaLuxe treatment for 5 minutes.
