Total Blonde

Total Blonde is a technique for lightening natural hair that achieves a pure, uniform blonde while maintaining the hair’s excellent condition. The course demonstrates how to plan and execute a multi-step process that results in a deliberately designed look, with darker roots that naturally transition into very light lengths and ends—without streaks, uneven lightening, or compromises on quality.

Radek Smarz guides you through the entire process step by step: from planning and sectioning the hair, through the two-step application of the lightener (first the mid-lengths and ends, then the roots), to the final, multidimensional toning. The course explains in detail why working with low-volume developer provides more control and better hair health, and how crucial it is to repigment the roots with a golden pigment so that the final, darker color is long-lasting and vibrant.

In this course, you'll learn:

• A two-step application of the lightener: first, apply it to the mid-lengths and ends, leaving a 1.5–2 cm strip at the roots, and only then work on the scalp
• Using separating mousses instead of plastic wrap on natural hair – why it’s a better solution that doesn’t overheat the hair
• The "more product, thinner strand" rule as the key to even and clean highlights without streaks
• The use of lower oxidation levels (4.8% and 1.8%) for greater control over the process and to protect the hair structure in more delicate areas
• The complete process of repigmenting the roots with direct gold pigment—how and why this is the foundation for a clean, darker color at the roots
• Strategic, two-step toning: first, Level 10 on the lengths, then Level 8 on the regrown roots to achieve a seamless transition
• Constantly checking the lightening level is the only way to ensure you don’t “miss” the perfect moment to rinse out the product or apply it to the roots

After watching this course, you’ll start to view all-over lightening as a precisely planned chemical process rather than a risky improvisation. You’ll learn how to create spectacular blonde shades with natural-looking, darker roots, avoiding the most common mistakes and guaranteeing your client not only a beautiful color but also hair in perfect condition.
