@mirellamanelli: Have you tried cutting a piece of hair out to do a strand test? I saw someone do this and I was like, GENIUS! Here’s why I love doing it this way 👇🏽 1️⃣ If your client decides they don’t like the plan B or C or Z then no biggie! They don’t have to walk around with even more discolored hair. 2️⃣ I can try multiple lighteners because not all lighters are created equal. I used Kenra Blue Powder and then Beyond Bond with Duel Bond Complex. Both offer great lift but one did better than the other for this client. 3️⃣I can blast the hair with 40Vol and leave it on for an hour to test its breaking point. I would never suggest 40vol on a color correction but 40Vol will tell you a lot! As you can see the hair withstood a beating and over all would be a good candidate for 20vol with a long processing time and reapplication. 4️⃣ Your client doesn’t need to wait around for the results. Call them once your done and price quote them with your results Now for my findings: Beyond Bond would have been my bleach lightener of choice for two reasons. 1️⃣The integrity of the hair was smooth and pretty much intact except for the last 1/4 of hair vs the Blue powder test. That one felt super dry, damaged and in this scenario, my go to power lifter was not a good choice. 2️⃣It almost got as light as the Blue Powder. Subtle difference that I don’t think it would have mattered.
