"We all know her. She comes to the salon with 1½” new growth and many shades of blonde from previous color applications. She only wants the ends trimmed and really likes Taylor Swift’s hair. How do we achieve that?"

Matrix Artistic Educator Detra Smith shares how she created beautiful results with minimal effort using Matrix Colorinsider, Light Master and Gloss Sync.
