If anyone knows what’s trending right this minute on the red carpet/big screen/sidewalks of Hollywood, it’s Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of LA’s famed Salon 901. And her two hot Blonde Life techniques – one on longer hair, one on short – are IT. Get the step-by-steps, the formulas (they include LumiShine’s new Platinum Violet and Violet Gold shades), as well as Jill’s tips for success, right here:

Before you even lift a brush, learn how Blonde Life builds bonds for strong blondes…

We include our signature ingredient, bond-building Arginine, in all our Blonde Life Lighteners and Toners. Which means that the bond-building technology works to shore up every single strand BEFORE damage is done, lifting hair to new heights without sacrificing shine or condition. We’ve also mixed some Coconut Oil into the blonding process with three NEW Blonde Life Developers — formulated to work in harmony with all Blonde Life lighteners and toners; leaving hair feeling soft and hydrated.

The Face-Framing Blonde

Why we love it: It completely highlights the face (no pun intended); it’s a major time-saver; the perfect refresh service; and it grows out in the most beautiful way possible.

Says Jill…
Mastering the hairline is always a good idea, and so satisfying…it instantly creates a brighter face frame.
This look can be created with fairly minimal foils; so if it’s all you have time for — or you need a good in-between service — this is the perfect choice.
When you take the time to foil each and every part of the hairline, it helps to create a consistent grow out and flawless, refreshed look.

The formula…Prep treatment: Defy Damage ProSeries1 Bond-Protecting Color Optimizing Spray

Formula 1: BlondeLife Powder Lightener + BlondeLife Coconut Oil 10 Volume Developer

Formula 2 (Root Tap): BlondeLife Demi-Permanent Liquid 8N Natural + BlondeLife Coconut Oil 5 Volume Developer

Formula 3 (Gloss): LumiShine Demi-Permanent Liquid 10VG Violet Gold + LumiShine 5 Volume Developer

The Strong Blonde Bob

Why we love it: This powerful bob, coupled with a subtle and updated blonde technique, delivers a combo that’s beautifully soft and youthful-looking.

Says Jill…
This look is up-to-date and modern.
Keeping the cut slightly shorter in the back gives a much nicer grow out for clients who love a good, strong bob.
The softer foil placement helps eliminate that chunky dimension this client was getting at the top.
It works beautifully on short lengths and fine hair textures.

The formula…Prep treatment: Defy Damage ProSeries1 Bond-Protecting Color Optimizing Spray

Formula 1: BlondeLife Powder Lightener + BlondeLife Coconut Oil 10 Volume (moving up to 20 Volume) Developer

Formula 2 (Root Tap): LumiShine Demi-Permanent Liquid 8PV Platinum Violet + 8N Natural + LumiShine 5 Volume Developer

Formula 3 (Gloss): LumiShine Demi-Permanent Liquid 10VG Violet Gold + LumiShine 5 Volume Developer

The key to maintaining these blondes at home…

Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner: Stocked with Tamanu and Manoi oils, this is the combo to reach for when you want a brass-neutralizing, sulfate-free formula that fights frizz, and takes a gentle hand with fragile, highlighted strands. Blonde hair becomes bright, brilliant, and gleamingly gorgeous.

Blonde Life Violet Shampoo: When you want to bring blonde hair back to that fresh-out-of-the-salon shade, turn to this sulfate-free cleanser that instantly kicks overly yellow tones to the curb; and finish with hydration that offers luxurious slip and detangling power.

Joico’s Colorful Anti-Fade Shampoo and Conditioner: Featuring Camellia Oil and Pomegranate extract, this strength-building duo preserves the vibrancy of gorgeous, investment hair color for up to 8 weeks; while nourishing each strand with pollution protection and tangle-free hydration.
