Perfect for the “au naturel” client who wants a lower maintenance color, this look showcases some of the best that THE BLONDE WAND can do. Plus, thanks to the quick lightening of THE BLONDE WAND and the nourishing properties of the PURE LIGHT Crème Lightener, the hair looks and feels healthier than it would if done using traditional lighteners and processes! Perfect for those brunettes looking to get some sun-kissed pieces as the warmer months are right around the corner.
