26 The Colorist | NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 | thecoloristmag.com outer glow Aloxxi pioneered the concept of color personalities, and our cover girl's is A Touch of Tuscany. Here's how to get the look. T o create this dimensional beachy blonde shade with a heavy fringe placement, Aloxxi Artistic Advisor Marilyn Cole used Aloxxi's brand-new Dimensions Highlighting Colour and an edgy technique that showcases dimension and contrast within shades. T e trick is to choose a range of honey- or ash-blonde shades, then add face-framing highlights.

It's free of sulfates, sodium chloride and parabens, but it's loaded with natural botanicals and antioxidants. 2 Mix Formula A: Dimensions .31 with 30-Volume Developer. Mix Formula B: Dimensions .0 with 30-Volume Developer. Secure the top and crown.

Smudge color at the base to create softness. To softly frame the face, apply Formula B in the front perimeter, using a balayage technique. 4 Develop, then rinse thoroughly and apply ColourLock Post-Color Finisher.
