Use backcombing as well as the hair paint technique to get the most lightening in the nape, up to the occipital section.
-
Move to the top of the head. Starting from the part line, use a square baby light approach to softly brighten up the base.
-
To finish, use a diagonal-back parting, take micro stitches, and highlight the front hairline on both sides (approximately 3-4 foils on each side).
-
Process at room temperature for 35 minutes (depending on the starting level of your client). Shampoo with Extreme, and dry hair.
Color

Section the hair into four quadrants.

Apply Formula 1 first to create the “shadow root’’ effect at the roots.

Apply Formula 2 on Zones 2 and 3. For maximal blending, start your application with the color brush over the color of Formula 1.
-
Process for 20 minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly, towel dry the hair, then apply pH-Bonder #2 Fiber Restorative Pre-wash Concentrate. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
