Hair history:

Natural hair colour is a level 4 and client is 75% grey hair

Desired result:

To blend the grey hair with blonde pieces, allowing for a soft natural grow out. Previous balayage 5 months ago. Wants an ash gold tone, not too cold and not too warm but still bright.

Method:

• Ultra fine babylights on t-section (around hairline and main parting) with Redken Flashlift with bonder inside bleach powder and 20vol developer

• Alternating weaved and Airtouch sections and blending high without touching the roots with Redken Flashlift with bonder inside bleach powder and 20vol developer finishing with 25vol (mixing 20vol & 30vol 1:1)

• Not overlapping onto previous balayage

• Lifted to a level 9 (yellow)

• Cleansed & conditioned with Redken Acidic bonding concentrate shampoo & Conditioner

• Toned

• Treated with Redken Acidic Concentrate Intensive Treatment

Formula:

Toned with Redken Shades Eq Gloss with bonder inside

This new toner has just enough blue to neutralise any extra warmth and just the right amount of mauve to not leave you with a khaki colour.
