Get The Look: 

Formula: 

Roots: Use a 1:1 ratio of 50 grams #mydentity 6MPR Midnight Rose permanent color + 50 grams #mydentity 10 Volume permanent developer.

Mid-lengths to ends: 2 tubes of #mydentity 6MPR Midnight Rose permanent color #mydentity 30 Volume permanent developer + #mydentity 20 Volume permanent developer to create a 25 Volume developer. Make sure to add the 30 Volume before the 20, and finish by adding a drop of Olaplex No.1

Steps: 

  1. Starting on dry hair, apply the root formula 1½ inches from the scalp. 
  2. Smudge in and blend your mid-length formula from the roots to ends. Don’t be afraid to bring some of the root formula down when melting the two together. Process for 30 minutes. 
  3.  Rinse and follow with Olaplex No.2. Then wash and style.
