2. Once reaching the desired lift, rinse, starting in the nape, and shadow root with Formula B.
3. Alternate Formulas C and D through the back midshaft, and apply Formula E through the face-framing pieces and the ends. Let all toners process together for 10 minutes (the total time for toner application plus processing was about 30 minutes).
