Going blonde in dry climates
Seanevea Gary

Often times I have clients who want to lighten their hair. Since bleach is already so harmful, what are some alternative formulas or methods we can use to achieve blonde hair in dry climates? Is a high lift blonde impossible?

Great question Seanevea!
Thank you for posting your question in Collective Conversations!
There IS an alternative solution that will eliminate the need for any bleach for your Hi Lift Color Treatment services. The formula I have been using since 2006 is as follows:
- Clairol Professional Soy 4plex Permanent Liquid Color : 12AA-BV
- 30 VOL Developer
- Process for 40 minutes.
This formula eliminates the need for toning and foils. I then conduct a post hydration treatment which leaves the honey brown colored hair feeling soft, not brittle.
