    For row 5, apply Original Plus color 60A paired with Original color 70 underneath.

     

    Pro Tip: For a cool, subtler blend, use texturizing shears on color 70 before applying.

    Starting above the ear, apply two to three petite extensions per row. Pair the Petite Plus color 60A with Petite color 70 underneath. Apply three rows on both sides of head.

    Remember that the petite extensions are 1.1 inches wide, and that they are great to use in smaller areas or areas of higher visibility.

    To create more density and shadow on the fringe, create a ¼-inch subsection from the hairline. Then, apply one row of Mini Strand Plus 60A paired with Mini Strand Plus Color GR/3R underneath.
