Blonde to Brown

For tintbacks, Beth Minardi’s first choice is a heavy lowlighting technique. But if the client demands an all-over brown result, Minardi recommends a triple glaze using demi-permanent color. First she transforms the blonde to an orange/tan by mixing a light auburn shade with a light, warm gold blonde shade. After processing, she rinses the hair, dries it, and applies a red-orange glazing solution. She processes once more, rinses and dries the hair, then applies a final brown glazing shade. “I never use permanent hair color to perform a tintback,” says Minardi. “Why use something that has the ability to lift color when we require 100% deposit?”
