Lana Mai of Burnaby, BC Canada, had an interesting correction on her hands. "My client came in with pre-lightened hair which was still very yellow," says Mai. "Her level 6 roots had grown out about 5 inches.  She was desperate to get it fixed, hoping to even out her color and achieve a smokey platinum blonde."

This transformation took 5 hours:

Step 1: To the regrowth at the root apply Lanza bleach with 30 volume developer and Olaplex.
Step 2: Process, lifting to the midshaft shade.
Step 3: Apply Lanza bleach with 30 volume and Olaplex to the rest of the hair.
Step 4: Lift to level 9 then shampoo and towel dry.
Step 5: Tone with 10A + 10P + trans solution + demi (Lanza collection).
Step 6: Process for 15 minutes and then shampoo and condition the hair.
