    To even out the porosity and create better anchoring sites for the color on overly-porous hair, perform a Pravana Silk Degrees Shine Treatment. Begin by shampooing the hair with Pravana Clarifying Shampoo, then towel-dry the hair.

    Continue working up the head, taking ¼- to ½-inch slices and applying 6NtL to the midshaft and 6NtL=8NtL to the ends, blending the two together where they meet. Tip: You may want to use foil or plastic wrap to lay beneath the first section to keep color off of the client.
