Larisa Love’s Silver Belle Technique

THE BACKSTORY:

My client is a natural Level 7 and she was previously lightened by a different hairdresser to a Level 9 Gold.

WHAT YOU SAW AT THE INITIAL CONSULTATION:

When my client sat down in my chair, I noticed 4 inches of regrowth and a harsh demarcation line.

LARISA’S IMMEDIATE REACTION:

I knew a silver tone would be gorgeous on her…and it’s actually quite simple to get her there thanks to Joico’s true-color LumiShine Dimensional Deposit Demi-Permanent Cremes.

CHALLENGES:

I had to make sure all the color lifted evenly and at once, so that’s why I brought up my developer as I worked my way up the hair.

WHAT MAKES THIS PARTICULAR SHADE OF SILVER SO SPECIAL:

It’s a color that normally takes multiple sessions to achieve; and some clients simply don’t have the patience of funds for this unique tone. Fortunately, my formula got us where we needed to be in a single visit.

MAINTAINING THE GLEAM:

To keep the color icy-white, I recommend coming in for a glaze every 6 – 8 weeks. Then, regular use of Color Balance Purple Shampoo and Conditioner at home will cancel out any warmth that might creep back in.
(Another tip for longevity: Wash hair with lukewarm — not hot — water.)

THE MAKEUP TWEAK:

Silver compliments almost every skin tone, but if you have a lighter complexion, I’d recommend wearing bronzer or blush plus lip color to add some warmth back to the face.

ONCE A WEEK:

Apply Luster Lock Instant Shine & Repair Treatment to keep delicate hair 2x stronger in just five minutes with restored shine.
