ERROR-RESISTANT HAIR LIGHTENING

There are many times when our ability to slightly lighten natural color one level can effectively create great beauty. We call this slight lightening "BREAKING THE BASE"

In the past, salon pros often worried that slightly lightening the hair would also create

unwanted warmth.. the exposed underlying warm pigment in the hair. I'm delighted to

see that Redken, Joico, Wella and Schwartzkopf have all introduced liquid base breaking

products.. These are NOT permanent hair color products. They are controlled bleaching

agents for the hair... VERY CONTROLLED, and designed to remain in contact with the hair for 5 - minutes. Mixed with 20 volume developer.

Redken's is called Blonde Idol Base Breaker. at SalonCentric

Joico's is called Vero K-Pak Base Breaker. at SalonCentric

Wella offers both cool and double cool Base Breaker. At CosmoProf and Armstrong McCall

Schwartzkopf Base Breaker has become a real salon favorite.. At CosmoProf and Armstrong McCall.j

My opinion only: Every colorist should keep at least one piece of a base breaker in their

salon dispensary. Soft, controlled lift with "brass control" is often all we need to create

real beauty. Beth
