the 5678 Level up system for redheads
If you’ve ever had clients leave the salon with perfect copper, only for it to fade too quickly, I feel you. The issue often lies in either over-lightening or under-lifting, and when the lift isn’t balanced properly, it can affect the longevity of your colour. Listen in as I break down how to avoid this problem.
Fixing the Fading Problem
So how do you fix the dreaded fade? The solution is understanding how each base lifts and choosing the right formula for the client’s base level. I share key tips on adjusting formulas for different base levels, whether light, medium, or dark.
