Sectioning

Create a large triangle on top of the head with its base starting at the front hairline above the outside corner of each eye and its apex approximately 1-2" behind the high-point of the head. Clip this section out of the way. This is Section 1. All remaining hair is Section 2.

Application

  1. Begin in Section 1. Using your fingers, randomly select a 1/2" section of hair and place on to a foil. Apply Highlight Formula 1 to Zones 2 and 3, midshaft and ends. Turn the brush vertically and softly blur the color into Zone 1, regrowth area. Isolate with foil when complete.
  2. Continue to take random 1/2" strands of hair throughout Section 1 and apply as in Step 1. Depending on density, select 10-15 strands in total. Complete the section.
  3. Apply Base Formula 1 to Section 2, all of the hair below Section 1. Apply the color from scalp to ends. When complete, continue to apply Base Formula 1 from scalp to ends to the hair left between the foils of Section 1. Allow to process at room temperature for 20 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition with Color Extend. Dry the hair and apply Glaze Formula 1 from scalp to ends. Allow to process at room temperature for 20 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition with Color Extend.
