THE ULTIMATE SILVER BLONDE TRANSFORMATION with ADRIENNE DARA

@adriennedara Redken Brand Ambassador

“The inspiration behind my client's look for Silver Strong was to showcase the power of the T series and how it can create a modern blonde with the essence of a smoky undertone. The T series is multi-functional, whether you are adding it to a formula to make it ultra-cool or using it as the main component to create a light metallic deposit. I wanted my client to have the ease of a lived-in look along with a progressive fade that she will love all the variations of. This is why I opted for the T series to create a strong cool deposit. My client left the chair feeling ultra-blonde - and because I cancelled so much unwanted warmth, she does not have to worry about the color becoming brassy after the first few washes. This color will give her longevity and help maintain her hair health, THANKS TO THE POWER OF REDKEN SHADES EQ.”

 

SILVER TIPS & TRICKS FROM GEORGE GARCIA

FROM REDKEN ARTIST GEORGE GARCIA @georgegarciaredken

  • Since T includes blue, add violet or a hint of red into your formula to keep your result from looking green/flat.

     

  • Clients with a darker base are hardest to convert to gray-blending as their previous color contains too much warmth. Use GN in combination with T or P for added neutralizing power.

     

  • 04ABn can look hollow on higher levels. When using this as a lowlight, add 06NB to help fill in what’s missing in the hair.

     

  • Remember Violet contains red, so adding V will warm your formula.

     

  • P is the N of toning - it works as a perfect base to mix with other colors for complete customization of your final look.

     

  • When formulating for shades like silver or gray, it is helpful to pre-tone after lifting to neutralize the canvas before applying the final gloss. While this does add an extra step, it is helpful in achieving predictable hair color results.
