9/38 Very Light Blonde Golden Pearl Wella Koleston Perfect Me+ Rich Naturals 60ml

Product Information

For the softest finish, sweep Blondor away from the crown, so the roots here remain natural. This ensures Illuminage looks sun-kissed and seamless without changing your client’s color too dramatically. Top tip, partner with Illumina color to lighten the hair up to 3 levels and achieve soft transitions. 5. Build the Brightness Up

Try: Demi-permanent Color Touch, which is an ammonia-free hair colour that creates a radiant finish, or opt for Color Touch Plus to achieve up to 70% grey coverage. You can also try semi-permanent Color Fresh for up to 30% coverage. If you spend more time sitting in the salon chair than you do coiffing hair behind it, you might think your colorist simply glances at a hair color chart before choosing your next ultra-flattering shade. However, there’s a lot of knowledge behind every formula they mix, even if they make each decision, suggestion and technique look utterly effortless. Gradually layer up Blondor through each strand. Go light and gently feather the pre-lightener onto the hair instead of loading on too much at once. Are you a colorist creating Illuminage for your client?

Additional Legal Text While a demi-permanent or semi-permanent hair color can be applied to any level of grey, it’s often used to camouflage early greys, giving 30-70% coverage. The benefits of going semi- or demi-permanent are threefold: it provides a rich, true-to-tone finish, it fades beautifully, and it doesn’t leave a harsh demarcation line when roots grow out. 2. Permanent Colour

Getting a halo effect from Illuminage is all about brightening the perimeter of the face, so make sure you focus pre-lightener in this area. Feather lightness to the hairline to brighten and accentuate this area. You could also add in some graduated layers to really help contour your client’s features. 3. Create Tension Typically, balayage is open-air lightening, which results in a slightly softer lift. However, you can try the clear sheets for separation, additional lightening and visible control. 2. Lighten the Perimeter

Why Won’t Grey Hair Take Colour?

However, there are two key differences between Illuminage (above right) and balayage (above left), and the first is in the placement of those lighter, brighter ribbons. While a traditional balayage technique starts closer at the root and creates an overall lighter look, Illuminage is designed to lend a more luminous, lit-from-within, sun-kissed effect. How, exactly? By using Blondor Freelights to contour and accentuate the face-framing layers, as well as gradually lighten the lengths and ends for a softer halo of brightness.
