SECONDARY USES

1. Toning After Lightening Services: Apply to pre-lightened or bleached hair to neutralize unwanted yellow or brassy undertones using 6 or 9 volume developer, processing for up to 20 minutes. For the person who has just had highlights or balayage and wants a clean, cool finish, this provides the perfect toning solution.
2. Refreshing Faded Lengths and Ends: Apply specifically to mid-lengths and ends after a permanent color root touch-up to revive faded color and ensure a seamless match, using 9 or 15 volume developer. For the person whose ends have faded faster than their roots, this provides an even, refreshed result without re-coloring the entire head.
3. Glossing Service: Apply to all-over hair for 2-20 minutes to add intense shine, improve manageability, and deposit subtle color reflection without altering the base shade. For the person who wants a “gloss” service between color appointments, this provides a quick, low-commitment shine boost.
4. French Blending for Grey Hair: Use in French Blending™ services to naturally blend grey hair without harsh coverage, creating soft contrast and dimensional tones with graceful grow-out . For the person with emerging grey who wants natural-looking blending rather than full coverage, this provides a modern, low-maintenance approach.
