The audience experienced our NEW Blonde Life launches in real time, as our artists completed looks on 9 models — using products designed to put you on the leading edge of lightness.
NEW Balayage Lightener

No more having to choose between lift and creative freedom. We’ve teamed the power of Blonde Life Lightening Powder with the precision of kaolin clay in our NEW Blonde Life Balayage Lightener that lifts hair up to 7+ levels in a single application.
Laura Gibson:
“It’s so exciting to me that I no longer have to choose between LIFTING hair and getting really creative with highlights. The new Blonde Life Balayage Lightener has the same power as the Lightening Powder…BUT (big difference here!) it has the precision of Kaolin clay. So that means I can get those 7+ levels of lift in a formula that stays soft and moist, and allows me to freehand-paint really cool looks.”
NEW Blonde Life Demi Gloss

Blonde Life Demi Gloss shades are the most versatile tool in the entire Blonde Life system—allowing you to tone and customize pre-lightened hair with seven stunning shades you can mix and match to your clients’ needs.
Nathi Vega:
“I love to mix-and-match the new Blonde Life Demi Gloss after I lift with Blonde Life Powder Lightener – they allow me refresh, glaze, or gloss with totally customizable results.”
NEW Coconut Oil Developers

Mix 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 to leave hair feeling soft and hydrated.
Larisa Love:
“You actually feel hair’s amazing condition when you rinse out your lightener.”
