A few months ago, my girlfriend entered me into a Mother’s Day Giveaway, and I won! The prize was a full color and cut with Lauren at Belle Shea salon in Fort Collins. I was so happy that I cried!
I had already started the process of going lighter with my friend, Anita, so I just took the same photos to Lauren. It took two sessions to get there, but I am an ashy blonde!

If you are just starting to go blonde, be patient. It's a process! Find a stylist who uses good products on your hair and then follow that up with good products at home. My favorite purple shampoo is Joico Color Balance Purple Shampoo.
Without further ado, here is Lauren's formula:
@Lorealpro products. Started with Multitechniques lightener with different developer volumes as I worked through the head. I used Smartbond bond builder by @lorealpro in everything to keep your hair as strong and healthy as possible through the process. I base softened with Lightening Oil and 20 volume developer with some 9BB DiaRichesse added and then toned overall with a glaze/gloss of DiaLight with 10BV and 6 volume developer. Finished with Smartbond Step 2 conditioning treatment and styled!
