LumiShine Demi-Permanent Creme Color
Formula 2 (Contour Lowlight): 1 oz (30ml) LumiShine DD Demi-Permanent Crème 8NWB + 5 (1.5%) Volume LumiShine Developer
Formula 3 (Front Contour Highlight): Blonde Life Powder Lightener + 10 (3%) Volume LumiShine Developer
Tip: Use Joico Artist Foils when working on long hair for ease of application.
Step 2: Take another diagonal slice parting, leaving hair in between, and apply Formula 2 from scalp to 2/3 down the section towards the ends. Leave out the tips of the ends to create a “balayage” look with your contouring lowlights.
Tip: As you take diagonal partings, take them erratically and changing the diagonal direction as you work up the head. This will create a personalized look that is customized to the head shape. This will also make the contouring and seamlessly blend together.
Step 3: Continuing working up the head, alternating Formulas 1 and 2, in varying diagonal slice partings. Remember to take slice partings around the hairlines and ears to contour the color to the client.
Step4: Finish the back of the head up through to the top of the crown with Formulas 1 and 2. Repeat on the other side.
Step 5: Take a deep slice parting that is diagonal forward and mimics the hairline at the temples. Apply Formula 3 to add brightness to the face. This will make the back formulas look more diffused in a reverse method. Brighter around the face and deeper in the back for a seamless blend.
Step 6: Take additional face framing diagonal slice partings and apply Formula 3 until the entire face frame is complete.
Step 7: Behind the face framing highlights, take diagonal forward slices and apply Formulas 1 and 2 in alternating methods just like the technique in the back.
Step 8: Work all the way up till you reach the top of the front sections. Repeat on the other side.
Step 9: Process for up 60 minutes. Shampoo and Condition with Blonde Life Brightening system. Style as desired with Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil.
