FLOWER-CHILD BLONDE
Featuring Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon 901
What do you do when you have a teenage client who wants to look like she’s been kissed by the sun? You turn to this fresh and super-natural blonde technique from Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck of Salon Nine Zero One: It’s an instant brightener that grows out like a dream. Jill shows you how and gives you the step-by-steps, here:
HERE’S THE STORY
“Younger clients need hair color that flows naturally,” says Jill Buck. “Not only will a blonde that’s too overdone not wear well on a 16-year-old, but you also have to think about what kind of maintenance is right for them going forward.” Also on Jill’s radar: Her young client had five months of grow out, plus sun-lightening spray in her hair. The solution? Baby lights and a refreshed tone to help blend the older colors, brighter ends, and the tiniest money piece, so she can wear the look for a year and a half if needed.Jill’s start-and-finish trick…
The key to bringing out vibrancy and shine? Starting and ending every service with Defy Damage ProSeries: Pro Series 1 is a dry aerosol spray that is applied in short bursts to dry hair prior to any chemical service. It’s designed to protect bonds in the hair from degradation that occurs during color, lightening, perming, and straightening services. Big bonus? There’s no need to reformulate your color, adjust your developer, or change your process timing–just shake the can vigorously, apply to clean dry hair then apply Jill’s fabulous Root Rap formula.
When processing is complete, rinse and apply Defy Damage Shampoo, followed by Pro Series 2 for five minutes. This game-changing product will restore and regenerate bonds while locking in color: the perfect way to bring out the radiance in red.
