Riechard Alexandre (@reichardexclusives) , a Paul Mitchell educator and stylist at Salon Sessions Studio, Pasadena, California, has found that blonding, color and styling are his true passions. Danielle, Alexandre's best friend, is a fantastic muse. "She loves change and was looking to go big." Big they went, which is not really what you think of when you think "pixie" but somehow it works! Here Alexandre offers the HOW TO:

 

 Step 1 : Apply Decolor B Diamond by Framesi lightener (blended with 20 volume developer) from off scalp to ends.

 Ste p 2: Process to a light yellow.

Step 3: Apply the same lightener with 30 volume to root area once the entire hair is a pale yellow ("like that of the inside of a banana peel.") Approximate timing for blonding process: 45 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse with luke warm water.  Towel dry.

Step 5:- Apply Pravana 10V (blended with 10 volume) apply to damp hair from root to end.

Step 6: Process for 10 minutes. Rinse from the hair.

Step 7: Mix 20 oz of Bumble and Bumble Mending Conditioner and a dime sized drop of Pravana Vivids purple mix, blending to your preferred shade of lavender. Apply to damp hair and comb through.

Step 8: Process for 15-20 mins and then rinse from the hair.
