If you’re not base breaking, you’re missing out.
I’m using Goldwell US Light Dimensions Brightener in neutral.
This is one of my most versatile techniques. Whether I’m brightening the base on a blonde for a more tone on tone look or controlling yellow on previously blonde ends. I’m reaching for Goldwell’s brighter.
I apply it quickly because it only processes for five minutes. Gentle lift, and control all in one step.

If you’re not base breaking your missing out!
I applied a heavy highlight first. After processing I did a 5 minute base break with
Goldwell US Brightener in Neutral.
Base breaks slightly shift the natural base to soften the grow out. They add brightness to your over all blonde look. It can cool and neutralize previously highlighted ends.

The reality of level 5 permanent color to level 8 dimensional blonde!
3 rd session.
Each session started with handpainted Balayage. I used Light Dimensions Silk Lift Clay 30 vol. It removed the previous dark color while creating dimension.
After processing, I created a new base color and gloss to control the warmth and refine her tone

Stop Guessing!
Start creating intentional placement.
Horizontal foiling creates a softer, more blended result.
Vertical or Mohawk foiling creates strength and more dimension.
No wrong answer, just do ferment results!

Clay Lightener in Foils?
Yes, for this fine fragile hair, clay lighter was the right choice.
It lifted a little slower, but it was worth it.
