SECTIONING

  1. Separate the front from back by parting hair from 1/2–inch behind the high point of the head to just behind the ears on both sides. Isolate the back with a clip; this is Section 4.
  2. Create a triangle–shaped section on top of the head from above the outer corner of each eye back to the original parting. Isolate this triangle; this is Section 3. From the points at the front hairline of Section 3, separate the remaining hair on each side by taking a diagonal parting to the back of each ear. You’ll create two opposite triangles. Isolate each triangle; the one on the bottom is Section 1 and the one on top is Section 2.

APPLICATION

  1. Start in Section 1 on the right side. Take diagonal slices that move back toward the nape and apply Highlight Formula 1 to Zones 2-3 (mid-shaft and ends) if needed. If the ends have been previously lightened, leave them out and only apply Highlight Formula 1 to the regrowth. Turn the tint brush vertically and softly blur the color up into Zone 1 (regrowth area). Do not leave any hair between the foils. Continue to take diagonal slices and complete Section 1. Repeat on the left side.
  2. In Section 2 on the right side, work in the same manner–but this time, alternate Highlight Formula 1 and Lowlight Formula 2. Apply lowlight formulas, scalp to ends. Continue to work diagonally without leaving any hair between foils. Complete both sides of Section 2.
  3. Move to Section 3, the top triangle. Stand to the right side and take a 1/4–inch diagonal slice that’s parallel to the side of the section. Apply Lowlight Formula 1 from scalp to ends and seal with a foil to isolate. Skip 1/4–inch of hair and take another diagonal slice. This next slice should slightly pivot from the last foil to create a pattern that would resemble a fan or spokes on a wheel. Continue to foil in this pivoting manner, alternating Highlight Formula 1 and Lowlight Formulas 1 and 2. Complete Section 1.

GLAZE

Apply Glaze Formula 1 to all hair remaining between the foils and to Section 4 from scalp to ends. Process at room temperature for 20 minutes. Rinse, then shampoo and condition with Color Extend.
