Spring is a time for fresh starts. For clients who have waited to see their stylists, the journey to lighter and brighter blondes will require products and tools that answer every blonding challenge, while maintaining hair integrity.
Maggie Hancock (@maggiemh), a member of the Schwarzkopf Professional Digital Artistic Team, taps into the BLONDME range of color, care and styling products for her highlighting and lightening services. Hancock is known for blondes with that extra bit of something-something; she has perfected the face frame, can covert a bleach touchup on dark hair to beautiful dimensional color, and always works in a bit of beautiful detail (exact edges, bits of bling, or unexpected touches of texture) into her final finishes. Knowing that her hands will be full of hair, soon, she is keeping her backbar stocked and making plans.
“As I start seeing clients, again, I want to be able to give them a result that will make them feel more like themselves, right away,” Hancock says. “I may not always have time to do a full-head of foils or to do a complete haircolor makeover, but using a high-performance lightener means I can get them to a brighter, overall look in their first visit.”
For all her blonding needs, Hancock works with the BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+ XXL, a powerful lightener that is suitable for all hair bases. The BLONDME lightener range features Integrated Bonding Technology, which means colorists can blonde and bond in one easy step--no need to mix anything differently than what you would normally mix for your client.
“Not having seen their hair in weeks, I’m not going to experiment. I’ll rely on my tried-and-true tools –and lots of them!” BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+ XXL (31.6 oz) should always be used in combination with BLONDME Premium Developers. Both are available in large sizes for big jobs.
