COLOR UNPLUGGED 2.0
Redefining Color Correction

Color correction used to mean full-on tint backs. Today, color correction is redefined by more regular subtle corrections, like: faded reds, off-tone blonde shades, brunettes warming up with auburn tones (from mechanical or chemical abuse). All examples of real life salon situations. We don't charge for color correction — we call this 'glazing'. Shades EQ is your best tool to rectify these challenges - its translucent-type results will help you adjust a client's haircolor tone without overpowering her existing color & going too dark.

Few tips:

For lightest deposit - use 09 level shades, for example:
09N to soften warmth or 09G for sheerest blondes.

Take fine partings (1/4") & work quickly applying Shades EQ to the scalp area, first; then mid-shaft and finally onto the hair's ends.

If you're concerned about the ends grabbing, add 000 (Crystal Clear) with equal parts of Processing Solution to your remaining mixture before pulling it thru.

Happy Coloring - David.
