No matter how long you've been doing hair you can always use models to show off your new techniques you've leaned. Not only did I think my sister-in-law would look great with a balayage or sombre, but I was wanting to try a new hair color by Joico. I wanted to make sure it lived up to what it advertised. I started off by taking a before picture.
To create this look I started with Sunlights lightener. I took big sections (about 1 inch) and sliced it in half. The bottom half of the section I did not paint any lightener on. I clipped those to the side and painted lightener in a skinny "v" pattern on the top half of the 1 inch sections. With her career I did not want the color too drastic. I did not use foils and just let the lighener air dry as it processed on her hair. I used a scoop and a half of lightener and 40 volume developer.
After 50 minutes processing time, this was our result after the lightener. This is where I was able to use Joico Lumishine demi permanent on her hair. I wanted to get her to about a level 7 or 8 so the demi permanent would deposit all the tones properly.
After glossing her with a 7NWB by Joico Lumishine with level 5 developer for 20 minutes and curled her hair the results were amazing! The lightener got her past the "orange" phase and I was able to deposit a neutral warm tone on her to keep the caramel color, but the neutral in the demi permanent canceled out the remaining orange tones. She was very happy with the results!
That looks really really awfull, are you a professional hairdresser ?
ReplyDeletei would be mortified if i went to the hairdressers, spent money on getting my hair done and it looked like that.
i mean when its curled you can't tell, lets hope she always has her hair curled, cause if its straighted the balayage looks awfully done.
