Highlights with Gray Blending + [QUICK TONING TIPS]

In this video tutorial, I show you how I highlight hair to blend gray hair while using Studio Stylist Express for a base break using Kenra Color!

Let’s be real, quarantine hair is REAL! My client came in and wanted to refresh her color and blend her grays. Overall it can be a bit tricky to lift gray hair due to the fact that it tends to be a bit more on the coarse side.

Even though this was a trickier head of hair, I am always up for a good challenge! To achieve maximum lift and brightness, I went in with Kenra Professional Blue Powder Lightener with 20 volume developer.

Because she had so much regrowth I thought it was best to tackle this with a combination of Microlights, teasylights, and babylights.

Pro Tip: When highlighting, pivot your highlights for a more natural look!

FORMULA:

Lightner: Kenra Professional Blue Powder Lightener with 20 vol
Toner: Studio Stylist Express 7A and 7N for 5 min at the base with VP rapid toner on the ends.

[klkruper]

That was fantastic. Can I do the whole process but wait to put the toner on a few days later? Working on my own hair I just don't think I could rapid fire it on without help. Regardless, I will give it a try.. Thanks a heap!

What colour did you use on the money piece?

Thanks for sharing. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I have used red/ginger hair dye for a while and love it however grey hair is making me consider something like this

[sunitamay]

Looks absolutely prefect! Where is your salon and how much would it cost for your customer ?

[andsunny]

How would you approach the base bump if your client insisted “no warmth at all”?

[foodiegaltv]

Hi mirille what bleach you us what developer you us can you shoe four color correction can you answer soon

[Sanrio_fans-bm]

Beautiful work! Just a quick question, putting the 10 minute color on wet hair At a level 7 did not create any warmth on wet hair? My client is a natural level 5 but I may try this method on her at a level 6. She does not want to upkeep her roots every 5 weeks so I'm going to try with the kenra 10 min coler🤗
