Featuring Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon 901
Root Tap…Root Shadow…Root Melt.
Confused by the terminology, but love the look of that super-popular rooty blonde that clients always ask for? Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck of Salon Nine Zero One, is demystifying those three hot techniques using LumiShine Demi Permanent Liquid Color. You’ll never wonder how to get to the root of perfect blonding again!
Jill’s “must” for all rooty blondes:
LumiShine Demi Permanent Liquid Color
“I love using this collection for all of these rooty-blonde techniques. They are the perfect consistency — creamy enough that you don’t have to worry about the color running down your client’s face, but they still glide through the hair for ease of application.”
ROOT TAP
☆ Explain, please: a small tap (usually about 1/2”) to soften foil lines and give the blonde more longevity.
☆ Jill’s technique: “I always leave the front/money piece out until the very end. Once the root tap has been applied, I apply the gloss all over and then tap the root- color on top of the money piece at the very end.”
ROOT SHADOW
☆ Explain, please: This is used to add depth at the root.
☆ Jill’s technique: “I typically take it 1-1.5” past the foil lines, and drop the color down lower as I work toward the back in a teardrop shape.”
ROOT MELT
☆ Explain, please: The perfect technique when you want the money piece to really pop.
☆ Jill’s technique: “Apply your root color and drag it down 2 – 3” — make sure you leave the money piece out. Next, apply the gloss all over (even on the money piece), and then tap the root color on top of the gloss.”
Jill’s start-and-finish trick…
The key to bringing out vibrancy and shine before every color service – including these rooty-blonde techniques? Starting and ending 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 begin Jill’s layering method.
• 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 best of Jill’s blondes.
