GET THE LOOK:
AURORA
“We wanted to bring out the brilliant color in the hair
through light and movement,” says Deb Gavin of her 2014
Prismatic Collection. This look fuses hues of violet, blue and
ash on a creative, side-swept style to mimic the effect of
the famed Northern Lights.

3. In sections 2, apply Formula B from scalp to mid-length
and then marry Formula C to the ends, using a feathering
technique to blend the shades. Isolate with foils.
TIP: To maintain the more vibrant shade without blending in
too much of the deeper, paint the lighter shade (B) first, then
lightly diffuse the darker shade (C).
4. On sections 3, use the same technique as Step 3, applying
Formula D from scalp to mid-length and diffusing Formula C
to the ends. Isolate with foils. Process for 35 minutes.
5. Remove the foils from a single section and rinse well; repeat
this rinsing method in the remaining isolated sections. This will
ensure no transfer of color between sections.
6. Cleanse and condition with Keratin Complex shampoo and
conditioner.
Apply Lift Off Root Amplifying Styling Gel and blowdry forward.
Rub a little Glowtion Potion Styling Oil into the hair
and flat iron to style.
Finish with Bold Hold Maximum Finishing Hairspray.
