It’s cool to be blonde

TIPS!

“Overly toned results can be quickly corrected at the shampoo station using the Champagne tone.”
@hairbyelisa

“Now that blondes want slightly darker tones for winter, Chocolate Shampoo mixed with Pear or Silver shampoo works very well when creating dirty blonde tones and fades beautifully! It also works surprisingly well by itself on bases with blonde highlights.”
@imake_janika

So sweet I could eat these

TIPS!

“To ensure an even result, apply a generous amount of product to towel-dried hair and comb through with a wide-tooth comb.”
@hairbyminttu

“I use a Color Mask for post-pigmentation with nearly all colors.”
@hairbyjanelii

Shine bright like a rainbow

TIPS!

“Dilute Color Mask Intense tones with a ‘regular’ Color Mask treatment. For example, you can turn Color Mask Intense Pink into a lovely pastel pink with Color Mask Pearl Treatment.”
– Linda Lehto

“Color Mask shampoos and conditioners are fantastically convenient and easy to use at the shampoo station. By mixing tones like Rose and Rose Gold, you can create even more shades. Using these products is very quick if you need to pre-pigment before coloring or to add the product to the color mass.”
@hairbypirjoliu

“The best tip I have learned for mixing the perfect tone using Color Mask Toning Treatments is to always keep a white sheet of paper next to me while mixing and brush the color onto the paper to check that the tone is correct.”
@aleksiamatafaka

Wow this is intense

TIPS!

“Be bold when mixing different colors, so that you can give each client a unique color!”
@studioloimu / @hiuksiabynoora

“When creating the tone or color itself with Color Masks, I ensure success by using a generous amount of color mass and applying it thoroughly. It’s good to keep in mind that the most porous spots will grab the color the best and removing color from those spots will also be more challenging. Washing with cool water ensures that the color will last and prevents colors from bleeding into each other.”
@hairby_riikka

“When using Intense tones on a light base, remember to always protect the rest of the hair with a conditioner before washing and rinse the tone with cool water. This will keep the tones from bleeding into each other at the shampoo station, and the color will stay just as intensive as promised.”
