Alyssa Wiener (@lysseon) of STYLIN' Norwalk, CT, posted this cobalt blue transformation we had to know more. Here she shares the HOW TO:
Step 1: Clarify the hair using Redken Pre Art "because she lives in Brooklyn and I know New York water is so hard and contains a lot of build up."
Step 2: BlendSchwarzkopfBlondMe 9+ mixed with 30vol and Olaplex and proceed to lighten. Apply first to the midshaft, then roots.
Step 3: Process for 45 minutes.
Step 4: "Because this client had previously colored her hair a few times with a red-brown, there was a lot of warmth." Wash with ScruplesPlatinum Shine.
Step 5: Tone with Scruples Color Art 8BG for 5-10 minutes.
Step 6: Section the hair. Create a star shape at the top of the head, letting the points go just about to the middle of her ear.
Step 7: Blend two formulas:
Formula A: Joico Cobalt Blue, Urban Shock Blue
Formula 2: Joico Sapphire Blue, Urban Shock Blue and a squeeze of Cobalt.
"Mix until you like how the color looks on a paper towel."
Step 8: Apply formula A to the underside, formula B to the star at the top. "This gives it dimension even though the 2 colors are somewhat similar."
Step 9: Process for 30 minutes and then rinse.
Step 10: Condition with Urban Shock Blue to seal the color. Cut hair and razor the ends to make the under color stand out.
