To achieve this buttery blonde, heavily highlight with Oway Hbleach and Hcatalyst 20 Volume Cream Developer, adding painted pieces throughout. Incorporate strong brighter pieces that focus around the face. 

For the blonde background dimension you see pictured, add in a few fine pieces of Oway Hcolor 8.31 Beige Light Blonde and Htone 9 Volume Cream Developer throughout locks. Lastly, tone over the blonded hair dimension with Hnectar 10.32 Caramel Extra Light Blonde and Htone 9 Volume Cream DeveloperDoing so will tone the highlighted pieces and add a gorgeous glossy sheen to the finished hair. 

Copper Out

This color is full-out Fall! Use 40g of Oway Hcolor 7.46 Red Coppery Blonde, 10g Oway Hcolor 6.44 Deep Coppery Blonde and Oway Htone 9 Volume Cream Developer at the new growth area. This adds depth to the super-textured style. Next, shade the mids and ends with Oway Hcolor 7.43 Coppery Golden Blonde and Oway Htone 9 Volume Cream Developer. This creates a subtle transition of tones from the base to the ends, which adds interest to the hair.

Golden Hour

Heavily highlight the hair using Oway Hbleach Buttercream Lightener and Oway Hcatalyst 20 Volume Cream Developer to lift to a level with a slight gold tone remaining. Then, alternate between the formulas below, in any random order, in a radial pattern.
