"The Mini-Series" by lifeoflisag πŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ’₯🀌🏼🀌🏼🀌🏼 WE WERE INVESTED IN THIS WHOLE MINI-SERIES!!! πŸ’₯ ➑️➑️➑️ 20 years of black box color. TWENTY. And she was finally ready to make a move. This is the part nobody really talks about - the consultation is where the whole thing either works or falls apart. Because when someone sits in your chair with two decades of box dye and a Pinterest board full of blonde... your job is not to hype them up and lie to them. Your job is to be real, build a plan, and make them trust the process even when the process is long. πŸ˜… And baby this process was LONG. We're talking 6 months. A whole ass journey. I documented every single step because I want y'all to see what a real color correction actually looks like - not the highlight reel, the whole thing... πŸ–€ πŸ’₯The most important step of this entire series. And y'all it wasn't the bleach. It wasn't the toner. It was THIS. Before we could even THINK about lifting this hair we had to prep it properly. 20 years of black box color doesn't just lift β€” it fights back lmfao. And if you skip this step you will lose every single time. We spent a full day doing 3 rounds of malibucpro color disruptor and CPR. Three. Full. Rounds. That's how serious this prep was. This is the step most stylists either rush or skip completely - and it's exactly why so many color corrections go sideways. The prep is the correction. If the foundation isn't right nothing else is going to work the way you need it to. I can not stress this enough y'all. Respect the process. #malibuc #malibupartner Color correction/ black box dye/ haircolor/ haircolorist/ blonde/ healthy hair / hair education/ hair salon ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 3,883 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 74 ## Tags malibuc, malibupartner --- Copyright (c) Gondola
