Adventures In Blonding Part Deux

For those of you just joining us, this is a follow-up of Adventures In Blonding, so take a gander at that first, so you're not lost.

...And the journey continues! So Stephanie tackled the beast again.

It has been six weeks since our first adventure together and this time we got my hair even blonder! And I'm so in love!

This time around, we had to fight against every blonde's arch nemesis, Roots! So we started there, since that hair is the darkest and needs the most time to process. We applied lightener all over my regrowth area (AKA Roots) first.

Then we pulled a more gentle lightener through the rest of my hair to get it even lighter. 

And then we waited, and waited...

And waited.

Finally, we rinse!

Again, we have some not-so-lovely highlighter yellow hair. For that, we call in every blonde's handy-dandy sidekick, Toner! Remember him? Toner is what neutralizes unwanted tones using complementary colors on the color wheel. It is also something that is custom to each person. So remember kids, don't try this at home! You could easily turn your hair green! EW!

After styling and a much needed trim, Voila! Its gorgeous!

This whole process would not have been possible without Olaplex. Olaplex is a bond multiplier used to prevent damage or breakage caused by lighteners. It is an added on service that take almost no extra time and is a complete life saver!

Thanks again Stephanie!

Transformation Tuesday

Had an amazingly busy week with some gorgeous hair! I swear, not only was every woman who sat in my chair Victoria's Secret model worthy, but they already had beautiful hair! I was in heaven!

Balayaged Ombre going a little lighter.

This darling was referred to me from one of my existing extension addicts. She needed her hair colored to match her new Bellami Clip-In Extensions. (I loved playing with these extensions, they were amazing!)

Once again, gorgeous from the beginning! Another beautiful balayaged ombre going a little lighter.
