Stephanie Rose Shofner (@HairByStephanieRose), based at Posare in Las Vegas, Nevada, says that "Previously this beautiful client and I decided to try a new trend: hot roots. She came back 6 weeks later and the yellow had not faded. FYI Pravana Yellow rocks!"

Here Shofner shares the details for this transformation once she and the client decided they wanted something fabulous without the hot root:

STEP 1: Apply your preferred lightener with 20 volume developer (blended with Olaplex) from root to mid to pull existing yellow and orange shades out of the hair. Process for 20 minutes, lifting to level 9. Apply Olaplex number 2 and then shampoo and condition. Blow dry.

STEP 2: Apply a mixture of purple made with Joico Intensity Purple Orchid, Pravana Hot Pink and Pravana Purple to the roots, pulling through about two inches.

STEP 3: Add about 10 foils (weaved) throughout the crown blending purple down about 2 more inches. To the rest of the hair apply Special Effects Hot Pink, Pravana Magenta and Pravana Hot Pink. Process for 30 minutes and then rinse and deep condition.
