Color Transformation

So last week in school I did a color correction on my friend. She had a light brown root, orange midshaft, and golden blonde ends. See the before picture below:                                I applied a filler to the ends with demi-permanent hair color of 6B with water. She chose the 6B for the permanent hair color, so when choosing the filler you have to go with the matching shade or if need be one shade lighter.

I applied it to the regrowth area and let it process for 20 minutes. I then brought the color halfway down the shaft to refresh the color and let that process for about 10 minutes. After rinsing and washing the color away, I had to roughly dry the hair 80-90%. I took horizontal partings in the back and did subsections vertically where I lightly teased and applied BW2 lightener. Slowly as I got to the top most horizontal sections and I started to balayage higher and higher. I did the same thing as I got to the front, but I did diagonal partings toward the face since she wan...
