A social media challenge selected the best Eufora Summer Blondes. Here's a breakdown of the Eufora range of lighteners used in the looks.
"We decided to bring up the blonde and add some depth in to her hair to break up her old color. When you continue to lighten the hair over and over, it eventually starts looking more solid, so adding depth back in really helps keep dimension and make that blonde POP!"

“This was my clients first time in my chair,” Andreana Nunez (@Dreeanaloveee), Agence Salon, San Dimas, CA., says. “She was ready for a change and believed I could make her hair dreams come true." Details here.
