Before:
FORMULAS:
1) L’Oreal Professionnel INOA 5.62 + 20 vol. developer
2) L’Oreal Professionnel Blond Studio Multitechnique Lightener + 30 vol. developer + Olaplex #1
"In the consultation we decided to give her a shadow root to keep maintenance low and give this high impact color a professional feel when she ties it back for work," says Camp. "Start with Formula Number 1 on the re-growth and feather it down 2.5-3 inches into the mid-lengths. Balayage Formula 2 through the mid-lengths and the ends to create brightness and contrast. I like to start at the nape and work my way forward, applying the base color and balayage at the same time to give the re-growth and balayage even processing time.
"After application is finished, process for 35 minutes. Throughly rinse Formulas 1 and 2 and follow up with Olaplex #2 for 10 minutes. Then, shampoo twice using INOA Post shampoo. Return to the styling chair and rough-dry.
"I don't work with an assistant in the salon, so I’m all about efficiency," adds Camp. "I used the 10 minutes my guest sat with Olaplex #2 to mix our VIVIDS formulas for process #2."
Process #2
FORMULAS:
(clockwise starting in the upper left)
1) 4 parts Joico Color Intensities Magenta + 1 part Red
2) 3 parts PRAVANA Yellow + 1 part NEON Yellow
3) 4 Parts Joico Color Intensities Orange + 1 large dot Red + 1 part PRAVANA NEON Yellow
4) 2 Parts Joico Color Intensities Red + 2 parts Magenta + 1 part Ruby Red
Says Camp, "Apply VIVIDS formulas to dry hair. My favorite way to apply VIVIDS is in a very organic fashion, picking up pieces and deciding on color placement depending on what I want my eye to see. With each section, I alternated saturating each piece with one formula, or melting multiple formulas so no two strands were identical.
"After application is complete, process for 20-30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and condition with L’Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil Masque. Return to the styling station and style as desired."
