First it was bronde, now here's crunette!
This versatile shade is for those who want rich, dark locks with a touch of warmth. According to Pravana Artistic Educator Tiffany Lobdell-Summers, “Crunette hair is the perfect summer look for those who like natural-looking dimension.
"The mix of brunette, copper and warm highlights mimics the subtle variations in hair color that occur from sun exposure, giving hair a sun-kissed glow.”
This look is simple, yet dimensional and easy to replicate.
Here's how she created the look using Pravana ChromaSilk HydraGloss professional hair color.

Application
Step 1: Sectioning
Divide the hair into two sections by taking a vertical parting from nose to nape.
Step 2: Pre-Lightening
Starting at the nape of the neck, take a diagonal back section from each side of the head and apply two back-to-back foils utilizing the Lightening Formula.
Leaving out two inches of hair, take another diagonal back section and apply the Lightening Formula to back-to-back foils. (As you move up the head, your partings will become wider so you will need to do two sets of foils side-by-side).
Continue to leave out two inches of hair and take your next diagonal back section, pre-lightening one slice side-by-side, then repeat one more time.
For the final diagonal back section, tease your slice and apply the Lightening Formula feathering up to the tease.
Pro Tip: Teasing your section closest to the face will create a more seamless blend.
Step 3: Base Application
While the lightener is processing, apply the HydraGloss Base Formula in between the foils, starting at the top of the head working down to the nape.
Process 20 minutes at room temperature while keeping an eye on your lightener, rinsing early if needed as you reach a Level 9.
The lightener can be processed up to 55 minutes. Cleanse the hair with Pravana’s Color Protect Cleanse and towel-dry well.
Step 4: Overlay Application
Starting at the nape, take a diagonal forward parting and saturate over the first pre-lightened section with HydraGloss Formula 1.
Dropping down your next pre-lightened section, saturate with HydraGloss Formula 2.
Repeat this alternating pattern over the remaining pre-lightened sections as you work your way throughout the hair.
Process 15 minutes. Cleanse and condition with Pravana’s Color Protect regimen.
