    Separate the hair in the middle, and start by coloring one side. Take diagonal sections, and bring them back. At the roots, apply the same mixture as the back. On the ends, apply Formula C.

    Continue with subsequent sections. Platinum sections at the root should become wider each time you bring hair back. Keep the coloring line at the same level.

    As you move closer to the face, make platinum sections wider.

    Sweep all the hair back, then apply Formula C over the platinum base to blend the colors together, avoiding a strong transition line. Repeat this process on the other side.

    View from the back.

    Note: Use longer foils. When you start to rinse, leave the foils on the head, and wash out the blue part first to avoid stains. Make sure the color falls down the foil to prevent staining.
