Base Break

Service Description

Breaking the base, or a base break, is used to blend the hair that is not highlighted in-between foils. It is used to break-up the darker roots that were not lightened, which helps remove any line of demarcation in your hair color. To do a base break, hair color is applied after your highlights for a few minutes to very lightly soften the remaining roots. (Generally done in the shampoo bowl) The color is only on your roots for a few minutes to not completely alter the color, or expose too much of the underlying warmth in your natural hair color.
