Kisha Martin (@fabkminwinc), a Level Three stylist and Texture Specialist at Heaven Salon (@heavensalon) Winchester, Virginia, says her guest's hair is "80% gray and she wanted a brighter more red result in the fiery copper tones." Martin pulled out her Paul Mitchell The Color and began mixing:

STEP 1: Alternate 2 shades around the head in large triangular panels from the part.
Formulas:
5WM/5RO equal parts with 20vol
7VR/6RO/7N equal parts with 20vol and 3 red Color Shots Pure Pigment

STEP 2: Process for 35 minutes. Rinse and shampoo.

STEP 3: Finish with Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Mirrorsmooth.
