#NEONHAIRBATTLE #NEONMANIA Kenra Professional

​If you are a hairdresser and enjoys creating beautiful hair color, you should enter Kenra Profesional's Neon Hair Battle. The deadline for enrty is January 1st 2017. I will entering the #neonhairbattle #neonmania contest. This is the first contest I've ever entered. I love that this gave me the opportunity to be creative while using  Kenra Creatives Neons. My model Hilary was a doll. This whole process took about 6.5 hours including an hour of just photos being taken in different lighting and areas of the salon. Below I will share before and afters and how we achieved this look.

​BEFORE

My model had about 2 inches of new growth natural level 6 and previously colored Mids to ends level 6 with previously lightened  underneath. First I clarifyed her hair to give us a clean slate and then cut her hair. Next we started the lightening process we used Kenras blue violet lightener with 30 vol on ends first, following with 20 vol on her new growth. Adding Olaplex in all formulas.

AFTER TONED

AFTER RINSING THE KENRA NEONS

AFTER

We processed, then toned with Kenra rapid toners SV : VP : 9 vol. Rinsed,  blow dried,   the started the application of the neons. I applied Kenra creative neon charcoal : neon violet on base then I basically created a bullseye shape, worked from bottom up taking diagonal back slices all through bottom circle and then alternated diagonal forward through the next circle. As I worked through the hair I creatively chose where to place organized but random color.

I used 3 formulas... The base, neon yellow with maybe 7 chocolate chips of green and neon violet with about 20 cc of neon charcoal. Processed then did Olaplex #2 blowdryed, ironed, photo shoot.

I used the Ecoheads nozzle to rinse out the Kenra neons, I believe the colors are more vibrant and did not transfer because of #ecoheads filter system. I also use Colortrak's new Meche to isolate the colors.
