Colour Recipe: Radiant Red

Who says blondes have all the fun? Anita, from Hair @ the Hub in Centurion, transformed an outgrown blonde style into the most vivid, amazing, passionate red... the perfect colour for the stunning upstyle she created. Here’s how she did it.

Started off on a 6 level with highlights on mid lengths to ends.

Bleach bath with Wella Blondor powder bleach to a level 8 ratio The bath was 1 part bleach and 5 parts 4 % Wella Color Touch. She wanted to be a 77/44 on the colour chart but if we had to just apply a 77/44 all the orange in that colour would have been dominant so we used: Half 77/44 and half 77/46 (yes I know I mixed a warm and a cool but it brought that colour right in the middle and it looked like a 77:44 on the colour chart Formula 1/2 77/44+1/2 77/46 + equal amounts of 4% Wella Color Touch

As an alternative option, instead of a bleach bath if you did not want to perform this, you could do a colour renew for 45 minutes.
