The Starting Point
Georgia's client had been growing out her roots after years of chasing an icy, super-light blonde. Naturally a base 5/6 brunette, her hair had reached the point where additional bleach on the ends would have compromised the condition.
During her consultation, Georgia explained that pushing for an ultra-icy finish simply wasn’t sustainable for her natural depth and hair integrity. Instead of forcing the blonde further, they agreed on a softer, more dimensional approach that would:
- Protect the condition of her hair
- Encourage healthier grow-out
- Maintain brightness around the face
- Reduce future maintenance
The Colour Plan
Using advanced systems from Wella Professionals, Georgia created a balanced, wearable blonde.
She applied light hairline foils and face-framing highlights using Wella BlondorPlex to ensure maximum bond protection during lightening. These brighter pieces give that “pop” when the hair is worn up, without over-processing the ends.
To break up the solid blonde and add depth, she alternated carefully placed lowlights using Color Touch. This added dimension and helped blend the client's natural root into the existing blonde, creating a seamless transition.
A soft root tap and bespoke toner completed the look, keeping the blonde fresh but not over-layered with pigment. The result is a luxe, grown-in blonde that feels intentional rather than overworked.
The Finishing Touch: Extensions for Fuller, Longer Hair
To enhance the final result, Georgia applied three packs of Beauty Works tape hair extensions. These were selected to add fullness and length while blending naturally with the new colour.
Styled in soft waves, the finished look is:
- Dimensional
- Effortless
- Low-maintenance
- Healthy-looking
