Santa brought me one more red hair transformation and I’m in love 🤩🎅
-
My lovely model wanted a rich red with a slight violet touch and we did just that with mixing 6RR@PK and 6VV@PK. We decided to add a root melt to ensure a graceful grow out using 5N using all goldwellcolor
My model also had damage from previous lightening services so we added a k18 treatment to begin the healing process of her hair
