REVERSE BALAYAGE

This head of hair has been a piece of art for a while now. We have been through a color correction to going lighter and lighter and now giving this beaut a more natural look. So I created the look of a balayage. but in a reverse application method. I love a good hair project! This process took close to 7 hrs to complete. They're multiple steps I needed to take to give her this seamless most natural looking finish. As you can see in the before photo below she was a warm buttery blonde which was 6 months old. It was time for a change, a hair color with even less maintenance. How could we resist? Below are the steps and products we used in the process as well as a short video demonstration. If your looking for a change or beautiful hair come see me @salonnova.  #TEAMEMANDA 

• First Emily applied a very precise single application ( using Wella Professional hair color) at this time we had to lift her natural regrowth as well as deposit and fill color into the existing blonde hair
• When color was finished developing we rinsed, shampooed and conditioned with Cezanne , then blow dried the hair
• Next we mixed up an accent shade and highlight formula with Olaplex of coarse
• Applied  ( reference in video below)
• Developed, rinsed, Olaplex No. 2 
• Then we Applied toner and a few touches of pink
• Developed, shampooed and conditioned with Cezanne
• Blown dry with R & CO Park Ave blow dry balm which is amazing on all textures by the way. And a bit of Kevin Murphy 's Young Again serum on the ends. 
• Finished with Kevin Murphy's Damage Manager and the Bellami curling wand and a mist of R & Co Flexible hair spray.
