DIFFUSE THAT GRAY!
Featuring Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon 901
“Not every client is ready for a full gray retouch,” says Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck of Salon Nine Zero One, who advises her clients to bridge the blonde/gray gap by diffusing their gray for as long as possible.
“Yes, we could cover the gray completely, but that creates a much more high-maintenance look for my client,” explains Jill, who likes this dimensional blonde option for clients who are approximately 25 percent gray.
Using Blonde Life highlights and LumiShine demi-liquids, it delivers tons of dimension without the severity of full coverage.
JILL'S NOTEBOOK...
“This method allows for someone with gray hair to feel like they can have that perfect Cali blonde, too! It’s soft, it’s dimensional, and it doesn’t need to be done as often as a full-coverage look.”
“I love to switch up my foil placement. So, for example, if I created a Mohawk section in the last appointment, this time, I’ll go horizontal up the part line. It’s a great tip for keeping hair dimensional.”
“The look works for clients who are less than 50 percent gray. 25 percent is the sweet spot.”
