Joico Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas reveals his color strategies and secrets for Kendall and Kylie’s stunning strands…
Kylie
The color request: black hair. But, George didn’t want to go there! “Black color tends to look too dull and inky,” he explains. “Plus I know how young girls are—they change their haircolor all the time. So I decided to make life easy for myself when she comes back.”
Kylie’s fierce color formula: Joico Vero K-PAK Chrome Demi-Permanent Color ¾ N4 + ¼ N1 + Activator. He applied the formula to Kylie’s Level 5 hair, roots to ends and processed for 20 minutes. “This dark brown formula looks black,” he explains. “But, it’s still shiny and reflective.”
Kendall
The color request: a subtle upgrade of her natural Level 5.5 medium brown, virgin color.
Kendall’s fierce color formula: He created balayage highlights with Joico K-PAK VeroLight Lightener + 40-volume developer. He applied the highlight formula in a v-shape—finer at the roots and midlengths and heavier at the ends–and lifted the color to golden blonde. “It’s best not to lift brunette hair super light,” he explains. Then he glossed all strands roots to ends for five minutes at the bowl with Joico Vero K-PAK Chrome Demi-Permanent Color ½ A7 + ½ A9 + Activator to neutralize any warmth.
