Pravana VIVIDS Black is perfect for clients wanting this smokey palette that has shadowy violets and muted lavenders. The multi-dimensional look called Smokestack by PRAVANA Artistic Colour Director Vadre Grigsby incorporates parallel panels starting at the nape and moving up. As the panels move towards the face, the colours graduate from dark to light. Recreate the look here:
- Pre-lighten the hair to a level 10 using Pure Light Power Lightener and choice of developer.
- Shampoo, condition and dry the hair completely.

- Starting in the back, part out a triangular section from the bottom of the ears to the occipital bone. Apply Formula 1 to this section from roots to ends.
- Moving up the head, take another section about 2” wide following the previous triangular parting. Apply Formula 2 to this section from roots to ends.
- Continue working up the head in this way, creating 2” wide sections following the previous triangular parting and rotating off the ears like the hands of a clock. Apply the remaining formulas in consecutive order, finishing with Formula 6 at the front hairline.
- Process at room temperature 20-30 minutes.
- Shampoo, condition, and protect with VIVIDS Color Protect after care products. Style as desired.
