Redken’s new Color Fusion Cool Fashion collection, 14 new shades that start cool and stay cool for up to eight weeks, were incorporated into this stunning blonde finish by Los Angeles-based colorist Spencer Henry (@spencerhenry).
Formula:
1 oz. 7N Color Fusion + 1 oz. NEW 7Aa Color Fusion + 2 oz. 20 vol.
Pro-Oxide Developer 4ml when using pH-Bonder #1 Bond Protecting Additive
The new Cool Fashion shades are intermixable with existing Color Fusion shades and feature C-Lock Technology, offering larger dye molecules than a traditional dye molecule to lock in color, while a black-to-gray background mutes warm undertones and adds more depth. So many clients are concerned about brassiness or want a cooler color result and Color Fusion Cool Fashion collection offers that lift without the brass.
The new Color Fusion Cool Fashion collection includes:
7Aa: A double dose of cooling ash tones for the ultimate control of warm orange undertones.
9Av: Extra cooling ash combines with violet for subduing yellow undertones for cool results.
5Va and 8Va: Violet infused with ash accents to provide cool, pearl-like tones.
8Vv and 9Vv: A double dose of violet tones for the ultimate control of yellow undertones.
9Vg: Cool, iridescent violet reflects with hints of gold for fashionable champagne blondes.
9Gv and 10Gv: Balanced golden hues with hints of rose-gold effects on blonde hair.
4Bv and 6Bv: Multi-faceted, cool mahogany brown with chocolate, caramel and violet tones.
5Cb: Rich cooper infused with warm brown tones for results that won’t go brassy.
6Br: Mahogany brown with a mix of warm and cool tones.
4Rb: Cool ruby-red infused with warm brown for balanced yet fashionable results.
How to Use:
Mix Color Fusion Cool Fashion shades in a 1:1 ratio of color to Pro-Oxide Cream Developer (10, 20, 30, 40 volume). For example: 2 oz. (60ml) of 5Va Color Fusion + 2 oz. (60ml) of 20 volume Pro-Oxide Cream Developer
o When using pH-Bonder 4ml pH-Bonder #1 Bond Protecting Additive
