Alicia McLaughlin, AKA Lish Mac (@thehairstylish) of Calista Salon in West Chester, Pennsylvania, says "My blonding skills have gotten way better since being educated by the one and only blonding king, Ludo Geheniaux aka @hairbyluu." It took two days to get model, Jamie, from a level 6 to unicorn. "Patience is key when you want to get to the perfect, healthy canvas." McLaughlin shares the details:

SESSION 1: Achieving a platinum canvas on previously highlighted hair:

SESSION 2: Kenra Neons Application

Formula:

Base: Full tube of White with about a 1/4 tube of Charcoal and an 1/8 of a tube of Neon Violet to give it that opalescent tone. 

Mid-lengths and Ends: For the blonde: two tubes of White and 1/8 a tube of Charcoal and Neon Violet. Randomly place the rest of the Neon lot everywhere.

Application: 

First, apply the root color about and inch to inch and a half down. Splitting the hair into quadrants, and starting in the back, take half inch sections and place the various Neons randomly throughout the strands. Paint the White mixture over of the whole section and work in with fingers to blend the prisms into the blonde.
