Break the base with Formula A on the regrowth for 10 minutes to blur the line of demarcation and create a soft, light canvas. Rinse, then blow-dry. Starting at the front hairline, take a vertical weave parting and apply Formula B.
- 3Step 3 of 15
Take a second vertical weave parting and apply Formula C. Continue taking weave partings, alternating Formulas B and C. Leave the ends out for a more natural, sunny blonde.
- 4Step 4 of 15
Work upward along the hairline, gradually pivoting weave partings so the final parting is parallel with the center part.
- 5Step 5 of 15
Lay foils in a bricklay pattern. Remember to include the hairline and the hair over the ear. To prevent bleeding, triple-fold foils lengthwise and fold over the top of the foil-holding weave section.
- 6Step 6 of 15
Repeat the process on the opposite side.
- 7Step 7 of 15
Take a diagonal parting that extends from behind the ear to the back corner hairline and weave Formula B.
- 8Step 8 of 15
Repeat the diagonal parting on the opposite side and part across the back (at the hairline), leaving a slice of natural hair. Take a weave parting just above the natural hair with Formula B.
Note: The horizontal parting should connect the two diagonal partings from the previous step.
- 9Step 9 of 15
Continue working up from the center nape, leaving about 1 inch of natural hair. Take a weave parting with Formula B. Clip that parting up, then take a weave parting from the natural hair beneath and apply Formula D. Continue alternating Formulas B and D until you reach the occipital bone.
- 10Step 10 of 15
Once you’ve reached the occipital bone, begin working upward, alternating Formulas B and C as you pick up weave sections. Foil sections in a bricklay pattern until you reach the top back.
