Did you know Nicole went red?

What a surprise, My good friend Nicole decided to go red. This isn't exactly new news...she went red quite a few months ago. It was quite the process going from dark brown to bright red. Here's what we did.
First I did a full weaved, heavy highlight and then used Wella level 7 Red and Red-Violet over the whole thing.

The next service consisted of another highlight and this time we tried a Chi highlift Red and Red-Violet with 20 volume.

The next few services, we would occasionally throw a few highlights in but mostly stuck with the Chi Infra Red demi.

 

Nicole kept hoping for the red to be brighter. My beauty supply store stopped carrying Chi and I was forced to cook up a new scheme. I had searched online for the bold reds and found an informative blog. This girl had used Pravana Vivids Red and Magenta mixed. It was exactly the color Nicole wanted. It has lasted so long between touch ups. I have to say, Pravana Vivids is the best bold color demi around. Period.

See, even the kids love it!
