Dark Desire
PULP RIOT PRODUCT NEEDED:
#BlondeAF, Developer, Blush, and Volatile
PRE-LIGHTENING
Use #BlondeAF with a 1:1.5 ratio, processing for 20-45 minutes at room temperature, checking every 5 minutes until a level 9-10 is achieved. On scalp, we recommend developers at 6, 10, 20, or 30 volume.
COLORING
SECTIONING: Create a triangular back subsection starting to the right or left of the center part, 2-3” wide at the hairline and clip away.
VOLATILE: Apply Volatile to the majority of the hair.
BLUSH: Apply Blush to the triangular section and use mesh to separate from the darker section. Let both colors process for 25-40 minutes, no heat required.
RINSING: Rinse each section separately with cool water, starting with Volatile, then Blush, until water runs clear, do not shampoo.
STYLING & FINISHING:
CURL ENHANCEMENT: Apply a curl cream, mousse, or gel to define your clients’ natural curls. Choose products that work for their hair thickness and the level of hold they desire.
DRYING & STYLING: Using a diffuser attachment, dry the client’s hair to encourage natural curl formation. Scrunch hair gently as it dries to enhance volume and definition. Use a small curling iron to redefine any curls if needed.
