MATION

Before

Christina Gallant-Nisblé Marigold + Aster Hair Collective

I began this transformation with a back-to-back slicing technique of foils and BlondeMe lightener with 7vol developer to create bold face framing pieces.

I then dragged her roots with Schwarzkopf Vibrance 6-88 + 6 vol developer and glossed her ends with 7-77+ 13 vol developer.

Lastly, I painted out her money pieces with the colour Lemon by Pulp Riot and intensified her ends with Schwarzkopf Chroma ID Mask in the shade 7-77.

This transformation was achieved by performing a root touch-up bleach out, followed by a quick bleach through the ends for a blank canvas. The blue and purple placement was applied within foils and for the sake of multitasking, the toner/ gloss was then applied to the rest of the hair.

To begin with the process, I used ‘Blond Me’ Bond enforcing premium lightener, up to 9+ lifts. Alongside, ‘Blond Me’ Premium Developer 6%/20 VOL and gradually increasing the developer with each bowl using ‘Blond Me’ Premium Developer 9%/30 VOL. As you will notice the client previously had colour from her zone two to zone three, which caused it to be a colour correction. During the process of the colour correction, I maintained the developer at 6%/20 VOL on previous colour and Olaplex No. 1 throughout the hair to maintain health and nourishment.

Most importantly, watching her lift and washing her hair as I go.

Finally, toners used:

Pre-toned with Goodbye Yellow

Zone 1: 4-0 (20g) + 4-13 (25g)

Zone 2: 9-1 (15g) + 9,5-4 (15g) – about an inch of zone 1 to create better blend and grow out.

Zone 3: 9,5-21 (60g) + 9,5-19 (20g)

Last but not least, using Olaplex No. 2.

I used Schwarzkopf Blonde Me 9 level lift powder lightener, with ratio 1 to 1 and a half

I started at the nape working forward and up the sides ending at the front top middle. I started with 7 volume in the areas that were at a level 7 open air and moved up to 20 volume at the front. I lifted her to an even level 10 in her midshaft then I focused on the virgin root last and again with level 7 avoiding to overlap and covered with Saran Wrap, after 45 min it was an even level 10 from root to end then I toned her with Schwarzkopf Blonde Me Ice Toner with 6 volume gel developer for 20 min finished it off with blonde me shampoo and the blonde me karatin mask for that extra level of protection.

I gently removed the pink pigment from Shaylas hair using Schwarzkopf Color Remover until I had an even colour palette. I colour blocked an area to lighten, used 7vol BLONDME Premium lightener. I used Schwarzkopf vibrance equal 3-0 4-0 and 4-6 for her dark areas. Using Pulp Riot shades, I took three horizontal sections in the pre lightened area alternating contrasting colours to melt into one another.

We went in and balayaged with 20vol and Enlightener by Aveda. There was also some Bond pro by Goldwell added in the formula to protect the hair’s integrity. All of her foils were done on a diagonal section in a herringbone pattern all throughout the head even as we got to the front to create a money piece. Once done processing, we toned her hair with a 1/4 8gb, 3/4 9n-semi along with 4 drops of yellow pure pigment by Goldwell. We used Speed of light blow-dry spray by Aveda to dry and prep her hair for heat styling. Her hair was curled with a 1.5-inch curling iron to bring out the gorgeous buttery dimension! Finished her off with Air Control hairspray to hold in the look!

This year, the We Rise Experience provided Black women a space where they could connect with leaders in business, all while becoming better set up for success in their entrepreneurial journeys.

What made the event a hit was providing a space for Black women to garner connections and knowledge from other business leaders.

According to the summit’s founder Treasa Leigh Brown, targeting the event to Black women was important because events like We Rise are surprisingly almost non-existent in the GTA. That’s because much of the accessibility to the knowledge at We Rise is available outside of Canada, mainly in the U.S.

Market research showed Brown and her team that women felt more accessible inspirational leaders were just south of the border, which is why she felt women needed an event to benefit them right here at home.
