Get the Look
1 We started by adding some soft highlights at cross section from the front of the head to across the front top using L’Oreal Professionel Blond Studio 8.
2 Apply a global application of the base colour using L’Oreal Professioel Dia Color 5.4 + 9vol.
3Tone the front highlights using L’Oreal Professionnel Dia Light 10.22 + 7.43 + 9.02 + 6vol.
4 Cut the hair into a modern version of the French Bob.
5 When styling saturate the hair using L’Oreal Professionnel TECNI. Pli, which allows you to create the softness to complement the colour.
6 Finish using L’Oreal Professionnel TECHNI.Art Super Dust to retain the volume at the front of the hair, and TECHNI.Art Ringlight to boost shine.
