Sheree Knobel knows a thing or two about bright blondes. The colorist has spent the last 25 years mastering her craft in Sydney, Australia, and figuring out the secret to a bold money piece. During this year's Redken Virtual Symposium, Knobel shared three of her top tips for nailing the money piece: placement, the tipout and zone toning. 

1. Placement and Technique 

• Section the hair into four triangular zones along the hairline. This will ensure that the money piece blends smoothly into the rest of the hair.
• Work with a center part if possible. If your client wears a side part, make the triangles smaller on the side that has less hair to balance it out.
• Make sure that the whole hairline is covered with your triangular sections. The triangular sections should all be connected along the hairline.
• Section out the whole head before coloring to ensure that the sections are balanced and even.  
• When it's time to start foiling, take a small section right along the hairline that goes with your client's growth pattern. Take a really fine micro stitch and begin applying lightener all the way up to the scalp. Zone 1: Flash Lift Bonder Inside + 10-volume Pro-Oxide Ratio 1:2
• Following along that line in a diagonal back section, take a slice instead of a micro stitch. This will ensure color saturation throughout the ends. 
• Repeat the same steps for each triangular zone around the head.

2. The Tipout
