✨Can you guess the technique that made this blonde look so natural?
This transformation started with traditional Balayage using LightDimensions
Silk Lift Clay + 30 vol.
But the real game changer was shifting her natural base colour to make everything look brighter.
I used Goldwell Brightener. I applied it from mid to ends for the first five minutes and then brought it to the base for an additional five minutes.
Our goal wasn’t the brightest blonde but believable, lived in colour that grows out beautifully.

I chose to use Cover Plus Demi ammonia free hair color by for my grey blending.

I added highlights and lowlights first with Silk Lift Strong 10 vol. Lowlights, Colorance 7N.
I applied the base color around my foils.
This blend of tones creates multi dimensional color, while keep the color Low maintenance with an easy grow out.
