Virgin hair help

[Rach.x]

Hi all.

My client has virgin hair and wants balayage.

Ideally I just want to use a highlift tint to get it to about a base 8.

Can anyone recommend the best highlift tint to use?

TIA X

I think you're going to have to use lightener. A highlift on that is going to give a very warm tone. It is also hard to balayage with highlift tint because of the consistency

I 9/10 times use lightener when doing balayage as I like to be able to tone to the desired level x

Why don’t you combine a high lift and a weaker lightener? As said above, it’ll be hard to get to a clean level 8 with high lift, but then it depends on your desired tone! I’d blend sections of a lightened with 10vol with HLT (maybe a 12/81 to cancel some warmth) with 40vol, so different pieces have different dimension, and use the lightener around the front for the beautiful “money piece” effect that clients love with balayage!
