SEARCHThe key to achieving this blonde lies in the right techniques paired with good placement, so color melts into a low-maintenance, beautiful blonde finish.
A lived-in, low maintenance blonde.
Color by Frances Gonzalez (@frances_hairartist)
Frances Gonzalez (@frances_hairartist), owner of Modern Beige Salon in Brea, CA, and a Kenra Artistic Creator, delivered her client's request of low-maintenance color with some careful product placement and the right application techniques. She melted the root and the color isn't too far from her natural tones, so the look is natural and lived-in.
In addition to the steps outlined in the video, and the formula, Gonzalez offers these tips for creating a similar result:
1.) "With darker levels, aim to shift no more than 1-2 levels lighter with the base breaker formula."
2.) "I find it best to base break on wet or damp hair; it helps control against hot roots."
1️⃣Babylights: Kenra Professional Simply Blonde Blue Powder Lightener +20 volume
2️⃣ Base breaker: 7AA & 30 volume/ 1:1 (process 5 minutes)
3️⃣ Root shadow: Kenra Demi 6nua + 9 volume / 1:2
4️⃣ Highlights toned with SV Demi Rapid Toner + 9 volume / 1:2
