Are you trying to lift your roots and lighten them - WITHOUT using bleach?
It is possible, if you use Ugly Duckling's high lift colors.
In this blog post, we will show you how exactly you should do this.
And get great results every time!
Dark Roots In Need of Lifting & Fixing?
In this picture, you can see that our model had rather dark roots in need of lifting.
We would assess her roots as really quite dark - around level 5.
However, her ends had been lightened and were blonde from an earlier application.
So our task is going to be to lift those roots without using bleach and get them up to the same level as her ends.
Then we are going to try and tone the whole hair.
Ready? Let's go!
Before: Level 6 Regrowth
First, Choose Your High Lift Ugly Duckling Color.
Choose your preferred color from the Ugly Duckling High Lift Series.
All Ugly Duckling High Lift Colors begin with a 100.
For a regular blonde look, you can use High Lift Blonde 100.
For an ashy blonde look, you can use High Lift Ash Blonde 100.10 or High Lift Deep Ash Blonde 100.11.
In this case, we went with High Lift Ash Blonde 100.
The mix for all Ugly Duckling high lift colors is 1 part color to 2 parts developer.
We are using 30 Volume because it is significant lift that we are trying to achieve!
We apply on the regrowth area and leave on the head for 35 minutes.
Apply your mix to the root area as in the picture above.
Next, extend to the ends for the last 5 minutes
In the last 5 minutes, we extend the mix to the ends.
You can already tell that highlights are not going to be necessary.
The hair is beginning to look very nicely blended together, and we won't get any line of demarcation between the roots and the ends.
The Final result. Consistent Deep Ash Blonde Result. No line of demarcation and roots perfectly lifted.

When you blow dry it is going to look even brighter.
At that point, you won't even be able to tell where the new growth was.
This is a simple, perfect and easy technique you can do in the salon.Your client will be good to go for another couple of months.
As long as your hair is level 6 (dark blonde or medium blonde) and above, you can follow this technique using Ugly Duckling's high lift colors.
And get away without using bleach!
