28 The Colorist | JULY/AUGUST 2015 | thecoloristmag.com right C L A I R O L P R O F E S S I O N A L When trying to go blonde, dark hair can turn out brassy. Going lighter requires a gradual process, but if you go 2 levels over the desired color, you can tone down from there. If you need to f x the color, Clairol Professional's Shimmer Lights Shampoo can treat blondes. It works to take away the brassiness or tinge and maintain your color. You can use it to refresh a fading blonde as well. Nicole Emiliani M A L I B U C Tiny hard water mineral rocks lurking in clients' shower water attach onto the hair like a magnet and wreak major havoc, especially for blondes, as their hair is highly oxidized. For these clients, I always recommend the Malibu MakeOver by Malibu C. The two-step service, processed under heat in the salon, features Crystal Gel Wellness Remedy, which gently yet effectively removes hard water mineral buildup, followed by Miracle Repair Reconstructor, which is rich in gluten-free plant proteins and works by seeking out only the damaged strands in need of repair. {1} { 2 } { 3} Arda Itez L A K M É One of the biggest issues with blonding is neutralizing evenly to remove unwanted warmth. Lakmé Kblonde toners are a lifesaver when it comes to creating cooler shades, but you must take precautions on bleached hair that can sometimes be overporous. For a perfect, consistent result, after shampooing the decolorizer out of the hair, I ring out the excess water and apply Teknia Deep Care Treatment and comb it through from roots to ends. Then, when mixing the toner, I dilute it with clear and apply it right over the treatment, beginning at the most resistant, or healthiest, part of the hair, leaving the hairline for last. That means beginning at the crown and working outward. Not only does this allow for additional processing time, it dilutes the formula for the areas that could potentially go too ashy.
