- 1Step 1 of 10
Starting Level: Faded 6.5 through midlengths and ends
Create a narrow oval section around the parting (A). This hair acts as a veil. A smaller oval section will expose more color, a larger oval section will conceal more color. Take curved triangular sections beneath the oval section (B and C). The triangles should be roughly 2cm behind the front hairline. - 2Step 2 of 10
Mix in a bowl Supermeches+ Fast with Oxid’o Alfaparf Milano 20-volume, dillution ratio 1:2. Mix in a bowl Evolution of the Color3 5.22 with Oxid’o Alfaparf Milano 20-volume, dillution ratio 1:1,5.
On the first triangular section, start taking vertical subsections roughly 1cm wide - for a more subtle result use narrower sections. Color section 1 using the bleaching mixture. Paint the color about 1cm away from the roots. - 3Step 3 of 10
Take a second 1cm vertical section. Color this section using the color mix roughly 1cm away from the root. - 4Step 4 of 10
Continue in this way to the back of the section, taking 1cm vertical sections and alternating between the two different colors.
