Haircolor Formula

  • Sliced in, feathering below root, Schwarzkopf BlondeMe Bleach with 30vol  and Olaplex

  • Toned at shampoo bowl with 9.5-1 and Steel Blue with 10volume.

  • After rinsing that, at the shampoo bowl I applied to her roots only 6-12 and 10volume for 7 minutes to just dirty up her roots and deepen them enough to give her the look she wanted without having to worry about an obvious regrowth line in time.

  • Chopped about 3 inches off to give it a fresh shape.
