VOLUMIZE HAIR

with platinum ‘chunks’

-

“The contrast of dark roots and platinum chunks gives strands added depth for the illusion of a fuller, more ‘solid’ head of hair,” says celebrity colorist Mike Petrizzi. His key for natural-looking streaks when using platinum dye? “Make sure highlights and base color are both cool or ash-toned. This keeps the bright blond color from looking yellow.” Get the look: First, apply a cool-toned brown dye (like Clairol Nice’N Easy in #6A Light Ash Brown, CVS.com) all over hair. Let sit for 25 minutes, then rinse and blow-dry hair. Next, use a highlighti­ng kit that comes with bleach and toner (like Madison Reed Light Works Balayage Highlighti­ng Kit in Sorrento Cool Vanilla, Ulta.com). Starting 2" away from roots, apply the bleach onto 1" sections of hair, all around the head. Let process for 30 minutes, then rinse. Immediatel­y after, while hair is damp, apply the toner all over. Let sit for 20 minutes, then rinse.
