    Bleach blonde hair

    Use Redken Shades EQ . You can always add clear and add more color if needed. I use Olaplex in mine helps the toner to hold longer. If you want to add depth I'd also use shades with Olaplex for lowlites. 7nb is pretty or mix it with a9. Formulas are endless with Shades.

    Olaplex users a few questions

    There is also a little brochure in box that has formulas on it. For stand alone charge what you would for most expensive conditioning treatment. I add 10 to color services if more is needed 5 for each addition. Demographics plays a big part. Some charge a lot more som e less.

    Olaplex users a few questions

    I don't think there is a simple chart. You can go to Olaplex.com and print off each one, then condense and make your own chart. That would probably be the easiest.

    Best products for damaged hair!

    Yes if you haven't done so yet invest in Olaplex. It's a bond builder internally for the hair. A new and great revolution for our industry. Since everything we do breaks the bonds being able to relink them has made hair healthier, color last longer, stays Shiney. I won't do hair workout it.

    Frizzy hair!

    If you have access to Olaplex, do a couple stand alone treatments and have her use #3 at home. Many of my natural curly clients have less frizz due to stronger bonds. The day of doing hair use a light oil like argon or Moroccan to smooth before styling will also have lots of shine. Hope this...

    Pre pigment

    You will need to fill with a red. Use Redken Shades 9aa. You need red to hold other colors. I would also use Olaplex to keep integrity of hair. Bonds will be stronger which will also help to hold color.
