ColorDesign Artists Create a Peachy-Pink Hue for the Cover of The Colorist

Colorist Magazine Cover

This vibrant peachy-pink hue is meant to add serious sizzle to clients' tresses-even in the chill of winter.

For the peach-meets- pink creation featured in this month’s “The Colorist,” ColorDesign artists Jackie Heredia and Tatiana Salcedo tapped one of the world’s most vibrant cities as a source of color inspiration. “Both of us love the vivid colors of Havana,” enthuses the duo. “We wanted to create a warm look that was fashion-forward as well as client-friendly, and to heat up our model’s hairstyle as a reprieve from this chilly season.” Mission accomplished!

Step 1: Shampoo hair with ABBA Detox Shampoo. Follow up with ColorDesign Reconstruction Shampoo, then rinse. Apply ColorDesign Reconstruction Oil and Mask. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse.

Step 2: Towel-dry hair and apply Reconstruction Oil to even out porosity. Blow-dry hair and section into 4 quadrants from the top of the ear to the top of the ear, and from the middle of the forehead to the back middle of the nape.

Rinse babylights using ColorDesign Reconstruction Shampoo once desired level 8 is achieved.

Step 3: Blow-dry hair, then section into 4 quadrants. Starting in the back right quadrant using diagonal back partings, tap the top of your parting with Formula 2, lift hair up and over toward the middle point of your 4 quadrants, and feather Formula 2 from underneath your section up toward the middle point of the 4 quadrants. Repeat on all sections. Process for 35 minutes and rinse with Reconstruction Shampoo. Condition ends with Reconstruction Oil, then rinse.

Step 4: Blow-dry hair, then section into 4 quadrants. Starting in the back right quadrant, apply Formula 3 from shadow roots to ends using diagonal back partings. Process for 20 minutes, then shampoo with Reconstruction Shampoo. Condition with Reconstruction Oil and apply Mask on top of Oil for 15 minutes. Rinse and towel-dry hair.
