A striking change to our two models

Above, left and right, you can see what was achieved with these two heads of hair. Blonding our model on the left was a complicated operation. A strong bleaching cream was used followed by an application of a very gentle, light ash-blonde tint. Fireworks were restored to our redhead on the right with a semi-permanent deep auburn rinse, applied very lightly.

That’s all !
