Kelly Pham-Do (@excellenthairsalon), a senior hairstylist at Excellent Hair Salon & Spa Inc in Fremont California, sent us thIS wonderful transformation and we asked for more details. Pham-Do shares how she corrected this color, offering a lower maintenance and less brassy blonde:
"Khatera is a natural level 4, and loves being blonde. She had been highlighting her hair for years and since it was too much maintenance, she had only been getting her base touched up a light brown color for the past year. This time she decided to go back to blonde."
STEPS:
Step 1: Base bump using Joico (cool) base breaker 2oz+2oz developer. Apply quickky & thoroughly to the newgrowth.
Step 2: Process for 10 minutes. Rinse, shampoo & dry hair completely.
