How to Go from Light Blonde to Medium Blonde with Highlights

This time around I went to a salon to go from light blonde to medium blonde with highlights.

Specifically, I went to see my friend Attallah at Twisted Elegance Salon in Atlanta, GA.

1. Apply Lowlights

To get this dark blonde hair color, Attallah mixed PRAVANA 7N (with a little bit of 6N) for the lowlights.
