      <image:caption>ROUND ONE: The initial platinum ended up brighter than our client envisioned — and we agreed it needed refinement. Because of previous color history, there was some underlying warmth at the root that couldn’t be fully corrected in a single visit. Although the tone aligned with one of her inspiration photos, the toner didn’t settle as richly as planned, so the blonde appeared a bit more fresh and unfiltered than we wanted. ROUND TWO: BINGO! We refined the look with a much softer transition from root to ends. Although our client initially preferred to keep her root natural, she later found new inspiration that featured a more seamless blend. The adjustment was simple and strategic — a root smudge paired with a slightly deeper toner — and in just one hour, we achieved the dimension and softness she was looking for.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You may still notice a subtle warmth where the root blends into the lighter sections. When lifting through old, darker color, some residual warmth can be inevitable in the first round. The good news? With gradual refinement, we can continue cooling and perfecting the tone — and we will never push the hair past what’s healthy to get there.</image:caption>
