THE SYSTEM FOR ICONIC BLONDE

THE SYSTEM FOR

ICONIC BLONDE BLONDME® WITH ADVANCED BONDING SYSTEM IS OUR 1ST BONDING COLOR & CARE BRAND DELIVERING ON-TREND BLONDE BRILLIANCE SAFER THAN EVER BEFORE*. BLONDME COLOR AND CARE HAVE BEEN FORMULATED AND DEVELOPED TO WORK TOGETHER AS A SYSTEM DELIVERING ULTIMATE BLONDE HAIR QUALITY.

THE ADVANCED BONDING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF: STEP 1:

COLOR BOND PROTECTION • Integrated bonding technology in the color products • Interlinks with the hair fibers to enforce strong structural bonds • For minimized hair breakage

STEP 2:

IN SALON COLOR CARE BOND CREATION • Integrated bonding technology in all BLONDME in-salon care products • Helps create new bonds and stabalizes the hair structure • For long-lasting strength and suppleness

*compared to our previous formula without bonding technology

STEP 3:

HOME CARE BOND MAINTENANCE • Integrated bonding technology in the OTC care range • Helps maintain the bonds at home between salon visits • Prolong the color results for long-lasting shine

04

TECHNOLOGY COLOR BOND ENFORCING TECHNOLOGY During the blonding process the hair structure can get damaged by breaking inner hair bonds. As a result, the stability of the hair is reduced and the hair is prone to breakage. The Bond Enforcing Technology has been created to protect the hair from deep within. It contains highly effective Succinic Acid that penetrates during the oxidative process into the hair and creates a protective layer around the hair bonds.

By this, most of the bonds survive the blonding process and the hair keeps its strength and elasticity.

The unique Bond Enforcing Technology with highly effective Succinic Acid is integrated in the highperforming BLONDME lightening, lifting and white blending formulas.

TECHNOLOGY – CARE

TECHNOLOGY CARE BONDING TECHNOLOGY The BLONDME® Bonding Care Regimen system features the Bonding Technology. This innovative technology has the ability to balance the pH level and stabilize the inner hair structure of delicate blondes by helping to create new, strengthening bonds within the hair fibers.

The Bonding Technology includes Magnesium Citrate, a bi-valent ionic molecule that is double charged.

Wherever there are missing bonds inside the hair fiber, Magnesium Citrate is creating new ionic bonds and strengthens the single hair fiber from inside out.

Additionally, the ability to bring back the hairs‘ optimal pH level of 4.5 strengthens the hair fiber by tightening the inner hair matrix.

High performing care ingredients help blonde hair to feel stronger and look healthier: Hydrolysed Keratin: Penetrates deeply into the hair to repair the inner cell structure, strengthens and regenerates elasticity without over-softening lightened hair.

Marula Oil: Natural oil that smoothes the hair surface by refilling the hairs natural lipids to provide a healthy looking and shiny blonde finish.

The Bonding Technology is integrated into the care regimen.

BLONDE

CONSULTATION Every great hair color starts with a great consultation and blonde is no exception. Achieving beautiful blonde results and maintaining that brilliant tone without the hair becoming too light or flat is one of the most challenging tasks for colorists.

BLONDE CONSULTATION All too often as soon as the “BLONDE” word is uttered many people automatically reach for lightening products to do the job without even considering a blonde coloration service.

While lightening and toning is the best solution for dark bases or for lightest and extra cool blonde tones BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lifting and White Blending shades enable you to create a wide variety of blonde tonal effects for clients by working with rather than against the natural pigments.

FIVE

TOP BLONDE TIPS WHEN TO LIGHTEN AND WHEN TO LIFT? Use the BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lighteners to provide the optimal light blonde base for: a) Natural base 5 and darker b) Natural base 6 and darker where a clear white, platinum or extra cool direction is the objective.

Use the BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lifting shades for beautiful blonde tone directions on: a) Natural base 6 and lighter b) Natural bases 4 to 6 for soft flattering toffee to golden lights.

HOW TO HANDLE WHITE HAIR? Skin tone softens with age, therefore working with the white hair rather than against it ensures the most flattering blonde results. Never go for too bold or bright blonde as this can look ageing. Natural honey or soft beige slices break up the white hair in a natural soft looking way that compliments softer mature skin tones.

WHAT‘S THE PERFECT BLONDE FOR FAIR SKIN TONE CLIENTS? Fair skin types work well with bright bold blonde and even platinum and ash blonde tones can be very flattering.

WHICH BLONDE SUITS MEDIUM SKIN TONE CLIENTS? Medium skin toned clients look best with neutral to slightly warm, beige blonde tones, anything too light can drain the complexion.

WHAT ARE THE BEST SHADES OF BLONDE FOR DEEPER SKIN TONE CLIENTS? Deeper skin tones are more suitable to warmer blonde tones, avoid going too light, a maximum of 2 levels lighter than the natural base is the most flattering.

Choosing the best complementary blonde tone for your clients Blonde tonal directions are endless and the only way to ensure the most stunning result is to first identify the clients skin tone, eye color, hair depth & natural tone direction. Then armed with this information select to most suitable blonde tone, product and service for your client.

In general blondes can be placed into 3 key directions:

NEUTRAL, COOL, WARM 33

NEUTRAL

WHEN TO PRE-LIGHTEN & TONE? On natural bases 6 and darker you can achieve the softest and most natural neutral tones lightening and toning with BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+ and selected BLONDME Blonde Toning shades. This will enable you to create the most alluring neutral blonde tone directions on darker bases.

BLONDE

Neutral Blonde tones come in a wide range of tonal directions from pale toffee which are extremely flattering on medium skin tones, to creamy caramels that flatter and bring out the soft glow in olive or deeper skin tones.

WHEN TO LIFT? For bases 6 and lighter you can use BLONDME Bond Enforcing Blonde Lifting or White Blending shades.

However, soft neutral blondes can be achieved best on natural bases 7 and lighter using BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lifting or White Blending Sand.

BLONDME Blonde Toning Biscuit can be added to BLONDME Lifting and White Blending shades to create gorgeous soft blonde tones.

Sand & Ice

NOTE:

SUITABLE BLONDME PRODUCTS:

Biscuit & ice-Irisé

BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+ toned with for example BLONDME Blonde Toning mixes Sand & Ice or Biscuit & Ice-Irisé

34

If the hair contains a significant level of natural warmth then lightening and toning would be required to lift out the warmth and to achieve a soft neutral tone.

COOL Avoid adding too much warmth to these fair skin clients as this will only highlight the pink undertones in the skin making it look flushed.

Platinum blonde is the most challenging color to maintain, often requiring re-adjustment with each retouch service to prevent the hair from becoming too light or flat through the lengths and ends.

WHEN TO PRE-LIGHTEN & TONE? On natural bases 6 and darker you can achieve a clear to cool platinum blonde by pre-lightening with BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+.

This will provide the best base on which to tone using a selected BLONDME Blonde Toning shade.

WHEN TO LIFT? On natural bases 7 and lighter you can achieve the coolest blonde results with BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lifting Ice-Irise, Steel Blue and Ash or BLONDME Bond Enforcing White Blending Ice.

SUITABLE BLONDME PRODUCTS: • BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+ toned with BLONDME Blonde Toning Steel Blue, Ice, Lilac.

For a more intense cool tone direction BLONDME Blonde Toning Steel Blue, Ice, Ice-Irisé or Lilac can be added to BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lifting and White Blending shades to neutralize any excessive natural warmth and to achieve an intensive platinum or silver blonde.

BLONDE

Clients with fair skin (more pink than olive) and light eyes (blue, grey) can really pull off lighter and platinum blonde shades.

Mixing the BLONDME Blonde Toning shades with BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lifting or BLONDME Bond Enforcing White Blending shades may slightly reduce the lifting and white coverage.

WARM BLONDE

In general the most suited clients for warm blonde shades are the ones with brown, hazel, light green or light blue eyes and golden-brown, peach or ivory skin tone and possibly with freckles. Pastel strawberry blondes can work fantastic on paler skin tones and by mixing cool and warm tones together a creamy, warm color can be achieved which is both soft and flattering for fair skin types.

Darker golden, honey or caramel tones are perfect to enable darker based clients to tip toe into blonde from brunette with partial painting techniques such as Balayage. All warm blonde shades need regular tone refreshing to maintain their warm intensity in-between salon appointments.

WHEN TO PRE-LIGHTEN & TONE? Lightening and toning on natural bases 6 and darker with BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+ and a selected BLONDME Blonde Toning shade will provide lightest and beautifully subtle goldes. For more vivid warm blonde tones such as copper or strawberry blondes, it is not always necessary to pre-lighten first as using the natural warm pigment found in the hair can aid the vivid warm tone direction needed.

SUITABLE BLONDME PRODUCTS: BLONDME Bond Enforcing Premium Lightener 9+ toned with BLONDME Blonde Toning Strawberry or Brown Mahogany.

WHEN TO LIFT? BLONDME Bond Enforcing Lifting Sand and lifting up to 5 levels is ideal for intense blonde tones on bases 6 and lighter.

HOW IS THE BLONDME PREMIUM CLAY LIGHTENER DIFFERENT FROM THE BLONDME PREMIUM LIGHTENER 9+?

The new consistency allows a faster product distribution on hair which is a great benefit for the hair dresser, especially when it comes to long hair clients. The versatile gelcrème consistency could be used for brush and bottle application.Also, the development time was decreased to up to 20 min. For time saving purposes and to increase your income at the same time .

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PASTEL TONING AND DEEP TONING SHADES? BLONDME Toners are recommended for pre-lightened bases and natural bases 9 or lighter.
