SECTIONING

Create a "lightning bolt" — shaped section on top of the head: Begin by taking a zig—zag part that starts above the outer corner of the right eye and moves diagonally back, across the head, to just behind the left ear. Create a second zig—zag part along its side and connect the two parts at each end. the lightning bolt should be no wider than 2 inches at its widest point. Clip this section out of the way. This is Section 2. All remaining hair is Section 1.

APPLICATION

  1. Begin in Section 1. Apply Base Formula 1 from scalp to ends. Cover with foil when complete to keep the hair isolated from Section 2. Tip: Cut or fold your foils to conform to the shape of the lightning bolt. This will ensure a neat application and prevent the formulas from bleeding together.
  2. Apply Blocking Formula 1 to Zone 1(regrowth area) of Section 2. When complete, apply Blocking Formula 2 to Zones 2 and 3 (mid—shaft and ends) of Section 2. Lightly lay the hair down on the foil that was laid previously and process at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  3. Once processing is complete, take Section 2 and wrap it in a foil. Hold it out of the way and rinse Section 1 until the water runs clear. Release Section 2 and continue to rinse, then shampoo and condition with Color Extend.
