TRANSFORMATION: Grown-Out to Silvery Lavender

Linh Phan (@bescene), owner of the Be Scene Studios in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, continues to wow us with his amazing color designs and transformations. We love this one in particular. Here he shares the how-to on this returning client who let her roots grow (longer than recommended) from her last appointment.

"She asked me to recreate a picture of a great silvery lavender that @mizzchoi from Ramirez Tran Salon created," Phan says. 

Get the color: Silvery lavender

Formula A - Schwarzkopf BlondMe premium lightener 30 volume

STEP 1: Lighten regrowth with formula A staying an inch away from the scalp and being careful not to overlap previously lightened hair. Process for 30 minutes.
STEP 2: Lighten roots with formula B until hair reaches a level 9. Shampoo.
STEP 3: Apply formula C, bringing the color down about two inches from base to mids.
STEP 4: Apply formula D, focusing on blending where the two formulas meet. Pull formula D through to the ends. Process color for 30 minutes. Shampoo, blow dry, and style.
