Alexis (@alexisbutterflyloft) of Butterfly Loft salon (@butterflyloftsalon) in Los Angeles, CA got a call from her client Melissa.  Melissa follows the Butterfly Loft Instagram page and was inspired to do something fun, bold, and different. 

 

Here she offers the HOW TO for this beautiful lavender color melt:

 

Step 1:  Lighten the hair with foils and balayage.  For darker pieces that needed to be lifted more, use Wella Blonder Lightener with Wella 40-volume developer and Olaplaex.  For the lighter pieces, use Wella Blonder Pastel Developer and Olaplaex.

 

Step 2:  Process under low heat for 15 minutes.  Rinse, and towel dry.


Step 3: For the base blend 50 grams of Wella Illumina 10/1 with equal parts of Wella 20-volume developer.  

 

Step 4: Process 10 minutes without heat.  Rinse, and towel dry.

Step 5: Apply Olaplex Step Two for 5 minutes.  Shampoo, condition, and dry the hair 75% dry.

Step 6:  Finally, apply a mixture of 2 parts Joico Light Purple with 1 part Pravana Vivid Clear and saturated the hair, from roots to ends, working in small sections.  

Step 7: Process for 20 minutes without heat.  Lightly shampoo, condition ends and blow dry.
