PRAVANA Guest Stylist Lara C Kay created this burgundy ombre in the PRAVANA studio of Innovation using the Pure Light Power Lightener, ChromaSilk and NEVO Color Enhancer Treatments. The treatments can be used to create new looks, or refresh an old ombre that might be starting to fade. It’s also for clients who may not be ready to commit to a permanent haircolor and are interested in trying out a new shade.
