When it comes to creating blonde color, the goal is always to deliver a result that’s clean, clear, on-tone and polished. Whether you’re going for a warm blonde or a cool blonde, the color has to look flawless, and the hair has to remain healthy, because let’s face it—healthy color is your calling card as a pro.
Well get ready for an assist from Schwarzkopf Professional® and the new and improved IGORA ROYAL® Highlifts. It’s been upgraded with the new TrueLift Complex that simultaneously does the heavy lifting while neutralizing unwanted warm tones for optimal lightening results. You can also still depend on the IGORA ROYAL® Highlifts’ FibreBond Technology®, which builds a protective layer around each hair fiber to diminish the number of hair bonds impacted during the lightening process. There are also two, modern new shades within the 10- and 12-series that answer the call for on-trend blonding requests from clients.
