FLAWLESS GRAY COVERAGE ON RED COPPER
Anita's quote

By using Gray Busters intermixed with a red tone to create an even base, I can achieve vibrant red-copper results and 100% coverage on gray-haired clients. On my model, Jana, a Natural Level 7 blonde with 50% gray, my challenge was to give her vibrant red-copper haircolor without creating hot pink roots on her gray hair. The solution was simple:

Anita's Tips

1 oz. Miss Clairol Gray Busters 87N/7N
(her Natural Level)

1 oz. Miss Clairol 33R/5R

2 oz. 20-volume developer

Process 45 minutes.
