PRAVANA ChromaSilk Permanent Creme Hair Color
Smokey Series strikes the perfect balance of sultry & sophisticated.
For far too long ash has been the only option to cool down and balance warm undertones when coloring hair. PRAVANA has developed a better solution with ChromaSilk Permanent Creme Hair Color Smokey Series! 4 NEW balanced shades include Extra Light Smokey Ash Blonde, Light Smokey Beige Blonde, Dark Neutral Smokey Blonde and Light Smokey Beige Brown. They are formulated to neutralize unwanted brassiness so color can fade on-tone, and control warmth when lifting natural hair to create smokey brown and blonde shades.

Application Technique:
- Section hair into a standard quad sectioning leaving out the hairline halo.
- Starting in the back two zones, take a diagonal back ½” slice.
- Apply your base formula to the first 3-4” (depending on hair length) and your end formula 1” lower.
- Blend the two formulas together in the transition area.
- Then take a diagonal back ½” micro slice and repeat the step above but this time only bring the base formula down 2”. This helps the look blend more seamlessly.
- Alternate slices and micro-stitches until the back of the head is complete
- Moving to the front two zones, repeat this same process, but over direct each slice or micro-stitch forward for a smoother blend.
- Finally, for the halo apply the base formula from base to ends.
- Process for 30 minutes. Style as desired.
