With Care Lightening dark hair doesn’t happen in one session, believes Beth Minardi. Say, for example, your color-treated, Level 2 client requests a Level 6. Start by lightening the midshafts and ends of various strands with foil containing lightener, particularly around the face and right above the ears. You may only be able to lighten to the brassy orange/brown stage, but you can then shampoo and condition the hair and glaze with a demi-permanent formula of 8GN + 9N which will softly drab the hair without darkening. The client should return in five-to-seven weeks for the same service. As time goes on, the color will transform to a lighter shade. (Let BTC color your world with affordable education.) |
