SEARCHStephanie Shellenberger is a "cool-girl hair" and balayage extraordinaire. She used L'anza's Clay Decolorizer for one of her latest creations, and shows her process in a perfect video.
“I’m always excited to test new balayage products,” says Steph Shellengberger.
L’anza Healing Haircare launched its Clay Decolorizer, a clay lightener with consistency that warrants ultimate control and a formula that offers up to seven levels of lift. The clay is formulated with Kaolin, a natural clay that activates the decolorizer powder into a soft spreadable mixture that stays moist and in place as it lightens.
The Clay Decolorizer is mixed with cream developer—either 10, 20, 30 or 40 volume—in a 1:2 ratio in a nonmetallic bowl. It processes at room temperature for up to 60 minutes, depending on desired level of lift.
“I’m always excited to test new balayage products,” says Stephanie Shellengberger (@stephanie_stylist). “L’anza Clay Decolorizer’s moisture-rich clay mixes into a creamy consistency for easy application. The developer contains keratin to heal and protect the hair.”
