Root stretch

[Grace_Hair]

Help. So I have a client.

Her natural is close to a 731 (Loreal swatch.)

I was going to balayage ends and root stretch. As she wants it lighter but less maintenance.

She has a pretty obvious regrowth. Would diarichesse cover this demarcation?

Was thinking 731 on root and 71 on the rest?

Or would I be better doing a colour melt?

Is there much difference in colour melt and root stretch?

I've always been sorely disappointed when using the dia's. But I think that's down to my lack of knowledge.

Pictures to follow

I don't know anything about dia sorry but I would use the 7.1 all the way and balyage after you've applied the root, I drag it down each section as I go through to put the balayage in (I don't know if that has a name?)

So, you wouldn't do the root stretch then wash dry and go back and balayage?

No I always do it in one go, i find a fresh batch of tint is more effective fro dragging down too, by the time you've applied the root colour & started balaging it's been in the bowl a bit too long so a fresh batch is good to blend with

So, maybe apply 7.1 at root and smudge over demarcation line. Start balayaging the ends. Then maybe smudge 8.1 into the 7.1 and lightener?

I'd just use 7.1 x

Would u just 7.1 the roots, balyage the ends the finally use 8.1 in between the 7.1 and balyaged bits smudging them together?

 

[Grace_Hair]

It's all done. Just used 7.1 and balayaged.
