- 1Step 1 of 8
Create a horseshoe shaped section on the top of the head—this is Section 4. Create a parting from behind the ear to the top of the parietal on both sides and secure—these are Sections 2 and 3. The entire back is Section 1. Subdivide for control.
In Section 1, above the hairline, create a fine center slice. Apply Formula A from scalp to ends.
- 2Step 2 of 8
Skip a half-inch section. Towards the right, create a diagonal slice. Apply Formula A scalp to ends. Leave a small space and create a diagonal weave. Apply Formula B. Create another diagonal weave directly above, again using Formula B.
- 3Step 3 of 8
On the opposite side, continue working by placing a diagonal slice and two weaves. Continue working in the same manner, using the same pattern, beginning with a center slice. Complete Section 1.
- 4Step 4 of 8
Release side Section 2. At the bottom of the section create a diagonal slice from the temporal region. Apply Formula A scalp to ends.
- 5Step 5 of 8
Leave a small space and create a diagonal weave beginning just behind the temporal region. Foils will begin pivoting and staggering. Apply Formula B. Create another diagonal weave and apply Formula B. (Tip: Slightly staggering the foils at the temporal region will help you to avoid a bright spot of color.) Continue working in the same manner, placing a slice and two weaves, all pivoting from the temporal region. Repeat in Section 3.
- 6Step 6 of 8
In Section 4, begin above the right eye. Continue using the same pattern of diagonal slicing using Formula A followed by two diagonal weaves using Formula B.
- 7Step 7 of 8
Apply Formula C to all remaining hair. Process, rinse, shampoo and rough dry. Section the head into quadrants. Apply Formula D scalp to ends. Process, rinse, shampoo, condition, dry and style.
