Take an off-center part, or your client’s favorite part location. Divide the hair into three sections: one on each side of the part (from the ears forward) and one in the back. Separate the fringe at the very front and center as well.

Next, section hair in a V, starting from the bottom. Weave a section on each side of the V and apply Formula A. This ensures the highlights evenly show up when your client wears her hair up.
