Start on the bottom section. Take a horizontal section from the nape and apply Formula D to the root area, then melt into Formula E through to the ends.
- 5Step 5 of 12

Work upwards in horizontal sections until the bottom section is complete. Fully and evenly saturate the hair with color to ensure an even deposit from roots to ends. Finish with a foil on top and bottom to prevent bleeding.
- 6Step 6 of 12

Proceed to the middle left and right sections. Take diagonal forward slices through the whole section. Apply Formula D to the root area, Formula E to the midshaft, and alternate between Formulas F, G, H and I on the ends. Finish sliced layers with foil.
- 7Step 7 of 12

When you reach the sections that frame the face (where the hair is shorter), melt Formulas D and E.
- 8Step 8 of 12

Move to Mohawk section. Build on the technique you used before by adding Formula E to the ends. Working from the back to the front, apply Formula D to the root area, Formula E to the midshaft, alternate the third melt between Formulas F, G, H and I, then finish with Formula E on the ends.
Pro Tip: Elevate your sections as you color to create a softer, more natural effect and avoid harsh lines.
