If the hair isn't pre-lightened to a very pale yellow, you won’t get that cool icy colour. Superblondes need to be sure to come back for monthly touch ups, as soon as you go over that half inch regrowth, the keratin in the hair gets stronger so it doesn't lift as easily. You get a yellow midband, which means instead of a quick colour, we have to do a long regrowth application. Because it takes two steps instead of one to lift the hair, it’s more time consuming and therefore costs more. If your roots go longer than a half inch, everything between the half inch and the original colour has to be done separately. For example, on a 2 inch regrowth, the lower inch and a half gets pre-lightened, then afterwards the half inch regrowth is lifted to the desired stage, then the whole 2 inches is glazed. It’s much better to keep on top of it with regular, quicker appointments.” Condition is extra important for statement blondes, Jack recommends, “...regular treatments and professional hair supplements are a must. Protein is important to repair hair but too much can harden the hair and cause it to snap. You need a protein/moisture balance. I recommend Shu Uemura because you can cocktail and mix up the products to keep it balanced - Silk Bloom Masque for repairing the hair and Moisture Velvet Shampoo for rehydrating are my go to prescription for statement blondes.”
