So it’s practically winter and we’ve all heard it a thousand times before…. Go darker with your hair in the winter and brighter and lighter in the summer.I am not saying I agree or disagree. I mean come on, everyone is different, both in personality and shape, color and size. So to dictate and entire mass to follow the same trend and same structure every year…. That gets a little…. boring…. don’t you think!??

Well…. I Do.

Hair Color Wednesday!!: Demetria Lovato New Hair Color *Formula Included*

 

We just have to share this killer hair color!!
Pop Star, Demi Lovat, recently posted a new shot of her hair on her twitter account. We thought it was a must see!
And… not only is it a must see, but it’s a must have… and a must do!
So for this edition of Hair Color Wednesday, we break down Demi’s formula:

Based on the picture we are going to be working with a strong copper based formula, however I love the idea of giving it depth with some brown and maximizing the yellow in the color by using a hint of gold for added shine.

Our (2 oz) Formula on Natural Level 7 = Using a demi-permanent hair color – 1 1/4oz 6 level copper, 1/2 oz 6 level brown copper, 1/4 oz 7 level gold

Hair Colorist Wednesday!: How to keep hair color from looking dull

Lets start this off with a Hot! tip of the day.

Are your hair colors starting to look way to light now that we are heading into the outer stretches of summer?
Well guess what? That is great! Lets use this to our advantage.
Rather than just covering over all of that natural lift and lightness lets use it to create dimension.

Absolutely refresh your ends, just make sure not to apply everywhere. Working in small 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch horizontal sections apply your refresh formula to two sections than skip one. For a stronger dimensional look apply your formula to every other section.
The result: A perfect natural dimensional highlight.
One more Hot Tip!: Looking to start the transition of your color from summer to Fall? Use this same technique alternating every section with the refresh color and than a new formula of the same tonal value and a level lighter
The result: A perfect deeper natural dimensional low light.

So… Where did we leave off?? …….
That’s right introducing you to Hair Colorist Wednesday!
Taking your Dull, Yellow, Blondes to A Beautiful, Shiny, Dimensional Blonde!
So my guest arrived and her hair was very typical highlighted blonde Natural Level 7. I see this more than anything else in my salon. Very blonde, very dull and not so very dimensional.
So lets break it down. What I did. Why I did it. How I did it and most importantly what I will do in the future.
Unfortunately do to technical difficulties or my accidental erasing of the picture.. we lost the before picture :( However, we do have the after picture! And in many ways its the most important. So when wondering what that before picture look liked, just think about that client that I described earlier.
Notice the depth and dimension of the within the bangs and underneath, while still maintaing a strong vibrant shade of blonde throughout the top layer.
So here we go…….
What I did: First off we are always going to access hair color the same exact way. Always! Where are we, well we covered that, so… where do we want to go and how do I get there. So lets rephrase this to….
Our Goal/Desired Look (Where do I want to be?): Strong Vibrant shades of Cool/Vanilla Blonde throughout top layer with soft dimensional natural dark blonde/light brown shades peaking through underneath.
And now the….
What I Did: First things first. Anytime you are starting with a new client always pretreat the hair. Also anytime you are working with blondes, pretreat the hair. In fact 99% of Hair Color should start with pretreatment. So naturally, we pretreated with a clarifying treatment – in this case Pureology Puriffy Shampoo and we used Pureology’s Essential Repair Conditioning Treatment prior to our color service.
Now on to the good stuff:
There was no reason to lighten all of the blonde that we have. However, we can utilize the blonde that we currently have to give us a multi tonal blonde.So we Highlighted using a standard highlight placement with a powder lightener and 20 volume pro-oxide developer and pulled a 10 volume lightener through every third foils ends for a lighter shade of blonde, however most important part! We left out 2 large triangles on the sides. Within these triangular sides this is where we will create our dimensional color. We will use Redken shades EQ Formula of 1 oz 7NB and 1 0z 7G. Taking back to back weaving foils in a diagonal formation from bottom of the triangle sides to the top we applied the shades formula to create our natural dimension back into our hair color.
Once processed we glazed over the hair using a Shades EQ Formula of: 1/2 oz of 9v and 1 1/2 oz Clear
Why I Did It: Using these formulas and pre treatments for the blonde will allow a multi tonal shade of blonde but at the same time keeping the hairs strength and integrity in mind.
Using the triangular side technique for the dark allowed us to have a multi dimensional shade of colors without loosing the strong vibrancy of blonde throughout the top.
Glazing the hair allowed us to diminish the amount of yellow within the blonde hair and give us the more Cool/Vanilla shades that we desired.
In The Future: We will continue to highlight with a powder lightner and a 20 volume pro-oxide developer in a standard highlighting fashion however, we will continue to leave out the triangular sides and not foil anything in these areas. If you find that you are in need of more depth within these areas repeat the triangular sides and add the dimensional level 7 color. Important: you may need to alter the formulation depending on where you are starting.
