JoeAnna Parker (@thatjoeybaby) of Canyon Falls Salon, Las Vegas says that this transformation has been quite the "process! I've slowly been lightening her hair over the past few months to get it to a level 10. Her goal was to be as blonde as possible with keeping the integrity of her hair. After 2 sessions we achieved it coming from a very out grown ombre with golden dark blonde ends. The top half was a level 5 and the roots a level 3." Once the perfect blonde was achieved, the client decided she wanted to play with color! Knowing Parker was always up for something fun, the two decided it was a go. "However," says Parker, "I knew Olaplex would be part of the equation."
Here she offers the how to:
Step 1. Prep the hair. Blend Olaplex with 35 volume on the top half/ 20 volume on the ends. Shampoo with Pravana Purple Brightening Shampoo and finish with step 2 of Olaplex for 15 minutes. Blow dry.
Step 2: Apply Pravana, 2 parts Blue/1 part Clear, to her roots. Comb down.
Step 3: For the ends apply Pravana Neon Blue/Pastel Blue/few drops of Blue. "I rarely measure out these colors. I just eyeball to the desired shade and test it out in white paper."
Step 4: Process for 30 minutes.
Step 5: Shampoo in COLD water with Pravana Vivid Color Protect Shampoo. Condition and seal hair with Its A 10 hair mask for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water and style.
