WHAT IS CHERRY COLA HAIR?
Cherry cola hair is a deep, dimensional brunette shade that combines dark brown, red-violet and burgundy tones. It's a low-maintenance alternative to vivid reds that works beautifully on a range of base colors and skin tones.CHERRY COLA HAIR FORMULA
Before starting the application, here are the three formulas used in this tutorial. All formulas use PRAVANA Hydragloss Demi-Permanent Crème Hair Color mixed with Zero Lift Developer at a 1:1 ratio.
Formula A:
Equal parts Hydragloss 4RV (40 grams) + Zero Lift Developer (40 grams)
Formula B:
Equal parts Hydragloss 6RV (25 grams) + Zero Lift Developer (25 grams)
Formula C:
Equal parts Hydragloss 3R (15 grams) + Zero Lift Developer (15 grams)
Pro Tip: Do not mix formulas until you're ready to use each one. When opening a new tube of PRAVANA color for the first time, find the color name on the back and indent with your thumb, then use the lid to puncture the seal to prevent spills.
1. SECTION THE HAIR
Working on dry hair, divide the top section into 4 partings - one on each side, one on top, one on bottom - and wrap each into zulu knots. Separate the remaining side sections into 2 triangle sections.2. MIX YOUR FORMULAS
Measure out Formula A, B and C as listed above. Mix each formula only when you're ready to apply it to avoid premature oxidation..jpg)
3. APPLY FORMULA A TO BOTTOM SECTION
Begin with Formula A (Hydragloss 4RV) on the bottom section. Divide it into smaller subsections, twist the top of each section and apply the formula at the root. Continue working from root to ends throughout the section.Pro Tip: Before applying color, mist hair with PRAVANA Intense Therapy Leave-In Spray. This eliminates frizz, equalizes porosity and creates an even surface for more consistent color results.
