Before Color - Faded Medium Brown w/ Blonde and Red Highlights Coming Through
Desired Color - Medium/ Dark Chocolate Brown w/ Blonde Peek-A-Boo Bangs

*Mix the permanent hair color with the 10 volume developer*
Before we started, I foiled the section in her bangs that we were going to bleach for the peek-a-boo. I then sectioned her hair off into four sections.
We started the application at around 10:15. I started at the nape of her neck and worked upward. When coloring hair, you should always start in the back and finish with the front. This reason is because, in most cases, the top and front of your hair is usually the most damaged and so the color will take more and faster. You do not want this to happen!!
When applying the color, you want to take small sections all over the hair making sure you do not miss any spots. Who wants spotty hair? No one, haha. That is deff not cute!! Since color is a deposit only, it is alright to get on the scalp, but you do want to avoid this because color does stain the skin. Also, let's not forget about the small section I foiled in her bang area. Make sure you do not get ANY color on this section, not even the roots. This step is very crucial if you want to insure the desired look.
I finished the application around 10:50. When you are finished applying a color, make sure you work the hair and spread it so that the color gets oxygen. Oxygen is what activated the color.
We then sat around and talked for about 30 minutes while the color processed. DO NOT cap the head, this will block the oxygen to the color.
The color is now finished processing; so, it is time to rinse. We VERY CAREFULLY rinsed out the hair color. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT LET THE COLOR BLEED ONTO THE SECTION FOILED!!!! This step is SUPER IMPORTANT!!! Do not shampoo or condition the color because even though it is finished processing, it is still setting in. Also, rinse with COLD water!
Towel dry the hair, and pin the sections around the foiled section that is about to get bleached. You do not want these sections to come in contact with the section you are about to bleach. No one wants bleeding colors!!!
*Mix your bleach in a separate mixing bowl with the 30 volume developer*
I, personally, free formed the bleach first. This means I held the hair that I wanted bleach and applied the bleach. Once I was finished free form bleaching the hair, I foiled it and put one last coat of bleach.
We activated the bleach with about 2 minutes of heat with a blow dryer and then waited about 20 minutes and wiped the first application of bleach out. If the color of the hair is your desired level, you do not have to re-apply another coat of bleach. We did because the hair must be in a pale yellow state for a toner to take.
*Mix Demi/ Semi permanent hair color (toner) with the 10 volume developer*
Wait about another 15-20 minutes and check the bleached hair again. Once it is to your desired level, rinse out.
Apply the toner to the section and let it sit for about 2-5 minutes. The reason the toner does not need to stay on long is because the color will take to the bleached hair faster than normal. Also, make sure you apply toner to at least damp hair. MAKE SURE YOU APPLY EVENLY!!
Rinse out, also in cold water, and make sure that you are careful because, again, you do not want color bleeding.
Once everything is all rinsed out, you can go back and shampoo and condition the head as you please. It is safer to shampoo, condition, and rinse the two different colors separately just in case there is any product left over. RINSE IN COLD WATER!!!
After everything is all shampooed, conditioned, and rinse, you can now add your heat protectors and style as desired!!
To style her hair, I used the following products:
Kenra Hot Spray (Armstrong McCall)
Kenra Root Lifter (Armstrong McCall)
Rusk Thickr (Armstrong McCall)
Rusk Being Sexy Hairspray (Armstrong McCall)
Paul Mitchell Mitch Construction Paste (Armstrong McCall)
