Casciola went for an Ariel-inspired red that Krista had been secretly wanting for a long time. "She can finally rock it now.Careers determine how bold you can speak with your hair. When they give you free range, your personality shines, just as my client did with her blazing personality."

Here Casciola shares the HOW TO (all color by Schwarzkopf Professional IGORA Fashion Lights):

Step 2: Pull the same color through to the ends, but with 10 volume developer.
Step 3: After the full application have client sit with a cap on her hair for 35 minutes at room temperature.
