FORMULA:  Bright Blonde

Takara (@justtakara) of Luxelab Salon (@luxelab) Santa Monica, CA., wowed us with this finish we found on Instagram. Here Takara shares the detail for this color:

Step 1: Start with L'Oreal Professionnel Platinium Plus bleach with 30 vol developer. Lift to a beautiful pale yellow. 

Step 2: Tone at the bowl using 3/4 Majirel P01 & 1/4 P02 w/ 15 vol developer at the base. 

Step 3: Smudge the same formula through the ends for the last 5 minutes of toning time. 

Step 4: Style with a 9-row Denman brush using @kerastase Ciment Thermique for heat protection and @kerastase Mousse Bouffant to give the image of a thicker outline.
