SECTION:

Create a parting from ear to ear, secure all the hair in the back. This is section 1. Clip to secure. Next, create a triangle section from top of the crown to the recession area on both sides. Secure; this is Section 2. Secure the remaining hair on each side for control; these are Sections 3 and 4.

PRE-LIGHTEN:

Starting in nape region, take a diagonal slice of hair and apply Formula A using a freehand technique in a "V" shape from mid-lengths through the ends. Feather the formula up towards the scalp for a soft diffusion of color. Continue this application method until all sections completed. Process up to 50 minutes Rinse, lightly cleanse, and dry hair.

APPLICATION:
Resection hair into quadrants. Beginning at the nape region and using foils, macro-weave a sub-section, clip the top of your macro weave out of the way. Apply Formula B to the top section and Formula C to the bottom weave section.
Process up to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Cleanse and condition using Total Results Re-Bond Shampoo and Conditioner.
