TRANSFORMATION: Box To Wolf Gray

Alexis Allison (@Alexismystyl7), an artist at The Salon at The Domain in Austin, Texas, had a new referral come in with box color on her ends and professional color at her roots. "Her hair was a deep dark brown," says Allison. "She showed me a picture of what she wanted and we decided on a platinum blue/gray color, what we are calling wolf gray!" 

Here she shares the HOW TO:

Hair Starting Level: 5 warm dark brown, ends 4 warm brown

Hair Target Color: Platinum blue/gray 

Step 1: Apply Goldwell Oxycur Platin Lightening Powder with 20 volume at the root and 30 volume on her ends. Process for 30 minutes, then shampoo and towel dry completely. 

Step 2:  Apply Oxycur Platin Lightening Powder with 30 volume on her roots then 40 volume on her ends. Process for 30 minutes, then shampoo and towel dry completely.
