That’s why the hair geniuses at Farouk Systems created the LG CHI Color Master Factory, a digital color formulation lab designed to make your custom haircolor formulation faster, more precise, and ultimately more efficient.
Let superstar colorist and CHI Creative Director Mego Ayvazian show you how to achieve stunning, sun-kissed color with the LG CHI Color Master Factory.
Formula 1 – The Root Formula
To create the perfect sun-kissed custom haircolor, start withFormula 1:
Mix 1 oz of 5CM with 1 oz of 5W.
Add 1 shot of Orange Additive.
Combine with 2 oz of 10 Volume developer.
Application Process: Roots
Before applying the root formulation, generously mist each section with Royal Treatment Bond & Seal for added strength.
Start applying the root formula from the crown, then move to the center and nape, using a feathered brushing technique for a seamless blend at the roots down to 4 inches along the hair shaft.
Formula 2 – The Mid-Shaft Blend
For a seamless transition, we move on to Formula 2:
Mix 2 oz of 9W with 3 shots of Red Additive and 2 shots of Violet Additive.
Combine with 2 oz of 10 Volume developer.
Application Process: Mid-Shaft
Before applying the next formula, once again, mist each section with Royal Treatment Bond & Seal.
Begin by applying the 2nd formula to the front two sections of the hair. Then use a detangling brush to blend the first and second formulas together.
Formula 3 – Finishing the Look
To complete the sun-kissed look, we have Formula 3:
Mix 2 oz of 9W with 2 oz of 8C.
Add 4 oz of 10 Volume developer.
Application Process: Finishing Touches
Start at the back of the head, taking 1-inch sections, and apply the 3rd formula to the mid-shaft of the hair, leaving the ends in their natural color. Use a detangling brush for a seamless blend.
Continue alternating between Formula 2 and Formula 3 for the rest of the hair to achieve a natural, sun-kissed look.
